Network
In the pursuit of democracy, a robust and wide network can connect like-minded organisations, activists, and citizens, amplifying their collective voice and impact
ALDA is not only an association focused on activities carried on in cooperation with its members and partners. At ALDA, we believe that collaboration is a value which must be pursued both internally and externally, reason why ALDA cooperates with a significant, and constantly increasing, number of institutions and organisations from all over the world, in order to exchange best practices, sustain the involvement of communities in decision-making processes, and thus head together towards a more inclusive and sustainable society. To reach such an empowerment of local communities, ALDA has a strong advocacy component, being member, partner, observer and supporter of several networks, institutions and organisations.

Their core mission is to fortify democratic values across the world, acknowledging the universal significance of democracy and its continuous requirement for support.

Their vision is for a world where democracies genuinely reflect the interests and needs of the people.
Civil Society Europe (CSE) brings together 28 European networks of civil society organisations (CSO) working towards regenerating the European project around the shared values of Equality, Solidarity, Inclusiveness and Democracy.
Its main objectives is to facilitate and enable horizontal and vertical dialogue between European civil society organisations and policy-makers and help strengthening CSOs in their activities and relations with the institutions.
The Anna Lindh Foundation is an international organisation working from the Mediterranean to promote intercultural and civil society dialogue in the face of growing mistrust and polarisation.
The Foundation was conceived in 2003 to “take action to restart dialogue and refuse the risk of a clash of civilisations“, thus to build more inclusive, empathetic and resilient societies, to fight growing mistrust and polarisation. ALDA, together with Les Têtes de l’Art, was elected as co-Head of the French Network in June 2021.
