No Comments on Amazigh Fashion Show at the 6th Euro-Amazigh Forum

On April 18, the Euro-Amazigh Fashion Show was presented at the Euro-Arab Foundation as part of the activities carried out in the 6th Euro-Amazigh Forum, which is being held from April 11 to 24 at the Euro-Arab headquarters.

The Amazigh Fashion Show is a vibrant event that celebrates the rich cultural heritage and diversity of the Amazigh communities of North Africa.

This fashion show will showcase garments and accessories from different regions of Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia and Libya.

The Euro-Arab Foundation will come alive with colourful textiles, embroidery and geometric patterns characteristic of the Amazigh aesthetic.

The Amazigh designs reflect the deep connection to nature and the history of this community, incorporating elements such as floral motifs, tribal symbols and traditional weaving techniques.

Each garment and accessory tells a unique story, conveying the cultural identity and pride of belonging to the Amazigh community.

The fashion show offered as part of the 6th Euro-Amazigh Forum is not just a fashion exhibition, it is a tribute to the creativity, craftsmanship and resilience of a people who have kept their traditions alive over the centuries.

No Comments on Final phase of the Euro-Arab Diploma in Non-Profit Organizations Management 2023

The Euro-Arab Diploma in non-profit organizations (NPO) Management aims to improve the capacity of students in the development of social services carried out by their organizations, through the transfer of good practices, knowledge of the changes to be adopted in management as well as the design of social programs and identification of institutional weaknesses they may have in their organizations.

This training is aimed at management and technical staff of third sector organisations in the Gulf countries (Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Arab Emirates, Kuwait and Yemen).

This new edition started this morning with the intervention of the Director of Cooperation of Euro-Arab, Hassan Laaguir, coordinator of the Diploma, followed by the lectures of José Luis Villena Higueras, Faculty of Education Sciences, who dealt with the subject of “Human capital: axis of the management of organisations for society”.

The second lecture was given by Paloma Medina Rivas, Director of Environmental Management of the Granada City Council, who focused her presentation on “Quality management in NPOs”.

With an extensive theoretical and practical programme, the Euro-Arab Diploma in NPO Management is offered in both on-site and online formats. The training programme comprises five face-to-face seminars held in the Saudi Arabian capital, Riyadh, and the sixth and last one in Granada at the Euro-Arab Foundation.

This last phase of the training allows students to learn first-hand about the work of third sector organisations as well as to attend a programme of master classes given by experts from the academic and organisational spheres. The Diploma concludes with the presentation of the final Diploma work.

Since the Diploma was launched in 2015, men and women from Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, the United Arab Emirates, Syria, Yemen and Kuwait have taken the course.

All of them have improved considerably in their professional careers, and their training has had an impact on a better position in their organisations, public administration or in the creation of new social entities in their respective countries.

Pilar Aranda meets with the President of the European Association for Cooperation with Palestine, Yehad Suleiman Rashid

No Comments on Pilar Aranda meets with the President of the European Association for Cooperation with Palestine, Yehad Suleiman Rashid

The Executive Secretary of the Euro-Arab Foundation, Pilar Aranda, has met with the President of the European Association for Cooperation with Palestine (ASECOP) Yehad Suleiman Rashid.

During the interview, Dr. Suleiman spoke about the extreme situation of the Palestinian population in Gaza and the need to put an end to the desperate situation suffered by the population. Pilar Aranda informed the president of ASECOP of the communiqué issued by the Spanish Network of the Anna Lindh Euro-Mediterranean Foundation, of which Euro-Arab is a member, in which the demand for an immediate, just and lasting ceasefire in Gaza is expressed.

COMMUNIQUÉ DENOUNCING THE CURRENT SITUATION SUFFERED BY THE PEOPLE OF GAZA

The Executive Committee of the Spanish Network of the ALF, of which the Euro-Arab Foundation is a member, joins the campaign to denounce the situation in Gaza. The Anna Lindh Foundation, as stated by its president, André Azoulay, is at the heart of the human construction of the Euro-Mediterranean partnership, and rejects this fate of hatred and calls for the mobilisation of the 43 founding countries of the Union for the Mediterranean, to impose an immediate ceasefire.

We witness the extermination of innocents with indignation. Justifications, which may come from any of the parties involved, can have no hearing in the face of the massacre of civilians and the violation of human rights that is being committed in Gaza. Yesterday, we saw civilian positions and UN schools being attacked. Just today, we witnessed the attack on the UN’s own humanitarian aid convoys.

From here we claim that dialogue and knowledge of the other are the only weapons to bury conflicts and put an end to fear and pain.

This dialogue must be recovered, as has been supported since the beginnings of the Foundation, as happened on 22 May 2008, when the 43 countries united in this Network, including Palestine and Israel, jointly celebrated actions for dialogue between cultures, regardless of any politics, ideology and religion.

Today, the important thing is to denounce and act, as demanded by the Foundation’s management and many international forums, to stop this humanitarian disaster. We are also with the Israelis who suffer the threat of rockets, but today it is the million and a half civilians suffering in this open-air prison, now in flames, which is Gaza, who need immediate action.

We demand an immediate, just and lasting ceasefire. Now.
