During the last few months, the Mediterranean landscape has witnessed a wave of historical changes. The uprisings in Tunisia and Egypt and other social mobilizations in the region have demonstrated that youth and civil society are eager for more freedom, social change, and consolidation of democratic values within their respective societies.

It's in this context that the Anna Lindh Foundation decided to launch its region-wide initiative "Believe in Dialogue, Act for Citizenship" to promote intercultural dialogue and its relationship with democracy, active and participatory citizenship and human rights in the Euromed region.

Through two major events taking place in both Tunis and Cairo and bringing together over 200 civil society activists, journalists and young leaders, participants will have the opportunity to share knowledge and strengthen the capacities of civil society organizations (members and not members of the ALF civil society networks) with respect to the relationship between intercultural dialogue, democracy and citizenship, as well as to encourage interaction between citizens and civil society organisations from all participating countries to contribute to spread awareness about citizenship rights, including civil, political, economic, social and cultural rights among them while improving intercultural dialogue and sustaining social cohesion.
