About Us - Anna Lindh Foundation

Established in 2005, the Anna Lindh Foundation (ALF) functions as a Euro Mediterranean intergovernmental organization headquartered in Alexandria. Drawing inspiration from the legacy of Anna Lindh, the foundation is dedicated to advancing intercultural dialogue with the aim of building inclusive societies that honor diversity and ensure every voice is heard. By championing peace, justice, and collaborative partnerships, the ALF works toward fostering a world where individuals from varied cultural backgrounds coexist harmoniously through genuine and constructive exchanges.

ALF unites organizations, institutions, policymakers, and other agents of change from across Euro-Mediterranean countries to foster dialogue and collaboration. Through its various programmes and initiatives, it provides opportunities for individuals to connect, learn, and work together, aiming to empower them to generate a ripple effect of positive transformation that reaches more people and communities. The Foundation’s efforts are anchored in two key pillars: its National Civil Society Networks, comprising over 4,500 members, and the 43 member states represented on its Board of Governors.

Uniting Cultures

At the heart of our efforts lies the belief that knowledge serves as the foundation for change. This is why generating and disseminating knowledge remains integral to all our endeavors. Through a range of initiatives and activities, we gather, share, and utilize insights to foster meaningful transformation across the region. At the ALF, we embrace the transformative power of dialogue. However, dialogue extends beyond words—it comes to life through culture, creativity, and collaborative artistic expressions.
