Deadline: 23-Jan-23
The Anna Lindh Foundation (ALF) is inviting applications for ALFinMOTION – Anna Lindh Foundation Mobility Programme.
Capitalising on the diversity of the ALF in both shores of the Mediterranean, it supports collaborative initiatives aiming at strengthening equal partnerships.
To fulfil its objective, the Foundation mainstreams youth, gender equality and networking with a clear determination to lead regional and local intercultural dialogue initiatives that are useful for EuroMed societies and institutions with a very pragmatic approach. Its action grounds on the two main bodies of the Foundation: The Civil Society National Networks with more than 4.500 members and the 41 Members States of its Board of Governors.
Purpose
- ALFinMOTION intends to be a stimulus to incite intercultural dialogue action between both shores of the Mediterranean through physical mobilities, involving diverse types of expertise, know-how and profiles, based on lump sum allocations to the host organisation. Mobilities must always imply the full proactive participation of the hosted organisations. A gender, age and geographic balance share between both shores of the Mediterranean must be observed.
- To ensure to have enough time to meet with visa requirements, the proposed mobilities under this call can take place anytime between April and September 2023. The ALF Secretariat will provide letters of support for the selected submissions.
Funding Information
- The indicative overall amount allocated to this call is 95.000 euro.

- No pre-financing payments are foreseen. These allocations will be released as soon as the mobilities have taken place, upon reception and approval of the final reporting required documents. Upon request, a pre-financing equal to 60% of the lump sum amount can be issued. In those cases, the host organisation will assume the estimated cost of the bank transfers amounting 100 euro that will be deducted from the lump sum allocation.
Selection Criteria
- Selection criteria will be based on the quality of the complete mobility submissions received. Priority will be given to submissions where all the involved organisations are members of the Anna Lindh Foundation from the 41 National Networks and to submissions led by ALF members. A gender, youth and geographical balance between regions and countries must be observed. For the evaluation procedure, the following elements will be considered:
- Relevance of the proposed initiative in terms of Intercultural Dialogue as indicated in each modality
- Added value of the hosted organisation(s) in relation to the proposed initiative
- Relevance of the specific experience of the beneficiary(ies) in relation to the proposed mobility
- Profile/background complementarity between the host and the hosted organisation(s)
- Geographic complementarity between the host and the hosted organisation(s) and gender and youth (between 18 and 35 years old) balance.
