This year's meeting of Head of Networks (HoN), a component of the Anna Lindh Foundation (ALF), was held from January 30 to February 1, 2023 in Marseille. The meeting was organized in cooperation with the coordinator of the French network, and forty participants from thirty countries took part in discussions to assess the activities of ALF in the past period, management challenges and to influence the development of future programs.
The ALF Secretariat and network coordinators worked on strategic aspects of network management as well as new programs, with a strong commitment to dynamizing national networks and ensuring impact at local and regional levels.
The meeting was attended by several representatives of local/regional organizations, including the Région de Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur, the Mairie de Marseille and the Délégué Interministériel Adjoint à la Méditerranée, and concrete proposals for future action and cooperation were discussed.
This meeting is considered a milestone in the new action plan towards more participatory practices and fruitful exchanges.
