AgorALF 2026 Announced: Call for Interactive & Cultural Activities Now Open
Building on the momentum and impact of ALForum 2025, the Anna Lindh Foundation (ALF) is launching AGORALF as a new annual forum dedicated to dialogue, people-to-people connections and cultural expression across the Euro-Mediterranean region.
While more compact in scale than ALForum, AgorALF is designed to deliver the same level of impact and exchange. The first edition, AGORALF 2026, will take place on 27–28 April 2026 in Limassol, Cyprus, and is expected to bring together over 400 participants from across the region.
A space for collaboration and co-creation
All 43 national ALF networks will have the opportunity to actively participate and organise activities within AgorALF 2026. Several networks are already exploring joint initiatives, including discussions between the Dutch and German networks on developing a shared activity, highlighting the forum’s strong focus on cross-border collaboration.
Call for Proposals: Interactive & Cultural Activities
In parallel, the Anna Lindh Foundation has launched the AGORALF 2026 Call for Proposals, inviting civil society organisations, cultural groups and creative artists to design and implement activities during the forum.
ALF is seeking proposals for two types of activities:
- Networking activities (45 minutes, indoor), fostering meaningful interaction and exchange
- Cultural and artistic activities (45–60 minutes, indoor or outdoor), showcasing the power of arts and culture in promoting inclusion, social cohesion and mutual understanding
Selected proposals will receive financial support ranging from up to €3,000 (small-scale) to €6,000 (medium-scale), covering eligible costs such as travel, accommodation, local transport, fees, materials and production expenses.
