ALİKEV as an NGO working with and for youth, working a world in which youth to be both prejudice and conflict free. To achieve our organisation's main mission, we believe in cooperation for peace in local, national, regional and international level. We may learn from and feedback on ongoing activies as well as sharing our own experiences. Learning means improvement of our own activies in the means of network's aim as well as collaborating with network members. ALİKEV has a powerful social impact and we believe that may contribute the newwork as well.
"The main scope of the ALF is overcoming the misunderstandings and stereotypes which affect relations between and within the societies of the Region, a task which became of utmost importance in the last decade. As a contribution to the creation of a space of prosperity, coexistence and peace, the ALF works to restore trust in dialogue and bridge the gaps in mutual perceptions, as well as promoting diversity and coexistence."
We believe that a network with this approach will provide us new horizons: information, experience and new partners.
