the Association des Amis du Belvédère

 

Presentation

Created in 1989, the Association des Amis du Belvédère has always brought together volunteering citizens, conscious of preserving the ecological and cultural heritage of this 110-hectare urban Park, the only real greenbelt right in the heart of the city of Tunis. During its first meeting on 10 March 1989, the association sets three guiding objectives in its approach:

Protecting the ecological balance of the Park, whilst meeting the needs of its visitors

Brining the park to life with creative and educational activities

Encouraging the creation of green spaces and urban parks modelled on Belvédère in other areas of Tunis or in other cities in the country

Formed in 1986, the Association des Amis du Belvédère has been created in order to object to a road infrastructure project. This project wanted to separate the historic park from the city of Tunis: Belvedere Park.

Since, AAB has contributed to the preservation of the unique cultural heritage, this space is the heart and soul of the capital Tunis which meets the needs of users: cultural and sports events, environmental education, training of young people, participation in decision-making processes in many institutions: city of Tunis, Ministry of the Environment…

The target audience is varied and depends on the nature of the projects and actions carried out: academic, students, educators and youth workers, wider audience on issues of sustainable development durable, neighbouring population of the park.

For 25 years, the work of AAB has mainly been based on the contribution of national and international volunteers who often experts in different fields: education, landscaping, agriculture, life and earth sciences, great writers and artists.

Youth involvement has become the leading source of energy in the work of AAB.

Financial partners: city of Tunis, UNDP, French Embassy, European Commission, private partners.

Thanks to its location in the heart of the park, AAB develops income-generating products and activities: olive oil, honey, vegetable compost, organisation of educational activity and leisure activities.

Activities

1798821_803490673024647_6070772101606610735_nThe strategy of cooperation for development

On the one hand, ACPP contributes to the democratic and civil development of societies in developed countries. It encourages local organisations who foster the participation of the public and the development of democratic alternatives, a more equal distribution of wealth and supports the role of local agents.

On the other hand, the role of organisations from the South is fundamental to the projects lead by ACPP. The beneficiaries of the projects are not only users, but agents of change.

The association is developing several cooperative projects in different regions

Central America: Honduras, Salvador, Nicaragua

South America: Columbia

Caribbean: Dominican Republic, Haiti, Cuba

West Africa: Senegal, Guinea-Bissau, Mali and Niger

Maghreb: Morocco, Tunisia, Mauritius

Middle-East: Palestine, Lebanon, Israel

 

The strategy of social intervention

The Assembly of Cooperation for Peace (ACPP) plays an important role in the North (Spain and Europe) with the aim of transforming a narrow vision of reality and opening up to a model of society committed to genuine social justice by combatting poverty, the promotion of the values of peace, equality and respect for diversity.

In order to enact this social transformation, the association considers that it is essential to develop measures which awaken critical thinking about the causes and mechanisms of inequality, poverty and exclusion. At the same time, they defend the idea that the mobilisation and organisation of citizens is a vehicle of change.

The work developed in social intervention is located in different domains

  • Education is a fundamental element of social transformation. The promotion of public, secular and egalitarian education is the motor of change. For this reason, ACPP puts in place supports for schools at different levels through the training of educators, the development of pedagogical tools for which the aim is to strengthen the education of communities in their everyday work to construct a global citizenship respectful of human rights.
  • Strengthening awareness to combat exclusion and inequality in the relations between North and South involving work to transform the mechanisms which underpin them.

ACPP tries to increase awareness of the realities of the countries which which it works, to strengthen the work on the ground carried out by organisations and member institutions of ACPP.

The association defends a model of solidarity based on the role of civil society in the countries of the South, Spain and in Europe.

Social integration

The work developed in the countries of the north involves taking into account the reality of exclusion in the immediate environment.

ACPP develops diverse initiatives on a local level which articulate awareness of the causes of exclusion, defense of social services based on access to rights, intervention in cases of emergency, promotion of spaces for social connection which offer the opportunity to participate in different social groups. In this context, ACCP promotes diversity, the integration of migrants as a positive value.

The association aims to promote mobility as a learning method as well as the inclusion of intercultural problems into the education of young people and adults. Its aim is to develop pedagogical and social initiatives taking into account the linguistic and cultural diversity inherent to the societies which constitute Europe, at the heart of which we live. With more than ten years experience, dock europe is situated at the heart of an international and moreover European network of institutions, associations, professionals, students, apprentices and campaigners. Thus it provides a rich platform, anchored locally, of skills, experience and resources at the interface of social work and the building of Europe. Dock Europe hopes, thanks to its suggestions, to reinforce the capacity of the public of all ages and backgrounds to take part in cooperative exchanges within Europe and beyond. From this perspective, Dock Europe offers the public, on the one hand, the development of know-how concerning cooperation, setting up international projects, intercultural learning and on the other hand an opportunity to reflect and acquire theoretical knowledge which is indispensable to a social and political understanding of the emerging European space.

 For 10 years the association has been developing the following activities

Dock Europe provides for the establishment and maintenance of European programmes of mobility (individual or collective) in the domain of social work: bilateral exchanges (French-German) and trilateral (French-German-Libanese, French-German-Algerian, etc.), workshops and seminars as part of continuing education: training in intercultural pedagogy (particularly through raising awareness of language), conferences on social themes (such as poverty, multilingualism or the health of migrants) and workshops on professional skills (public speaking, managing conflict etc.) the support or moderation of processes of cooperation between institutions, for example, between schools and German extracurricular structures as a part of school reform (adoption of the continuous working day with no extended lunch break), research work and evaluation of major European problems (migration, gentrification and rights to the city, social inequality, poverty, health), and supports for the development of European projects and seeking collaborative partners.
