If you are an experienced professional that works in a civil society organisation, then this call is for you!  

We are bringing you an opportunity to level up your skills and enhance your professional capacity with free online non-theoretical training from peers who walked the same professional path as you are now.  This peer-to-peer e-learning opportunity is designed by and for experts from civil society organisations to enhance the capacities of professionals in management and diverse intercultural dialogue fields. 

In this first round of the ALF Hands-On 2025-2026 edition, you will be able to choose from 21 capacity enhancement modules that were crafted to contribute to generating dynamic interactions, knowledge sharing, and co-creation of innovative solutions with peers and facilitators.   

That’s to say, ALF Hands-On is more than just a training programme; it is a community building platform for peer-to-peer collaboration and real-world learning. 

Why Peer-to-Peer?

Traditional training programmes often lack the interactive and collaborative elements needed for an effective skills development. Peer-to-peer learning goes beyond usual teaching methods by fostering direct engagement, shared experiences, focusing on practical field experience. Through peer-to-peer training, participants will have the opportunity to learn from experts who understand the specific challenges and contexts faced by intercultural dialogue and civil society practitioners in the Euro-Mediterranean region. It encourages dynamic interactions, knowledge exchange, and the co-creation of innovative solutions. 

The selected participants will benefit from 

  • Exploring new areas within your field of expertise in a way that should support developing your professional and achieving your career goals   
  • Connecting to a network of peers and exchanging knowledge on a transnational level with experts from all over the Euro-Mediterranean region 
  • Enhancing your analytical skills and acquiring first-hand experience on facilitating a peer-to-peer training session. Today’s participants are tomorrow’s facilitators!   
  • Receiving a certificate authorised by the ALF Secretariat that is recognised by the ALF national networks in 43 Euro-Med countries and 4.500+ civil society entities
