The Member States of the “Euro-Mediterranean Partnership/Barcelona Process” have declared 28 November as the ‘Day of the Mediterranean’– a day dedicated to cherishing our shared identity, embracing our common heritage, and nurturing the love we hold for the enchanting Mediterranean–. It’s a day where the ties between its two shores grow stronger, and intercultural exchanges flourish.
ALF invites civil society entities to submit proposals to organise community-based musical performances (non-profit, no ticket sales). The most outstanding ones will be selected for simultaneous execution across the Euro-Mediterranean on 28 November 2026. Performances are to take place in partnership with Local Administrations (local government entities) and to be held in public spaces.
Purpose of the call
The objective of the call is to orchestrate simultaneous free musical performances (lasting between an hour and a half and two hours) across different countries of the Euro-Mediterranean region on the same day and at the same time (around 19:00-20:00 CET), to generate a wave-like effect across the region.
Likewise, this call seeks to encourage civil society entities to work in tandem with Local Administrations, to empower them at the local level while promoting the principles and values of intercultural dialogue both at a grassroots scale and to broader audiences. To achieve this, concert proposals must clearly demonstrate engagement with diversity, strong community roots and intercultural added value.
This initiative is organised in coordination with the UfM Secretariat as a complement to its online campaign.
INFO
AMOUNT
Each selected leading entity will receive a lump sum allocation of up to 3.500 euro to contribute to cover the costs of organising the free musical performance and other related expenses. An additional up to 500 euro may be allocated to the selected proposals that live stream the concert through professional equipment and share it with the ALF Secretariat.
