In 1985, BJCEM set out to support the creativity and professionalization of young artists and creators in and around the Mediterranean, to strengthen the relations between all the actors active in the contemporary cultural and artistic landscape of the region, to encourage peace dialogue, collaborative practice beyond the existing boundaries.
BJCEM brings together 45 partners from 15 countries, including local and national private organisations and public administrations as well as higher education institutions.

The International Viola Society (IVS) is a global community dedicated to celebrating and advancing the art of the viola. Founded in 1968 by Franz Zeyringer as The Viola-Forschungsgellschaft, the IVS serves as a vibrant hub for violists, educators, students, and enthusiasts from around the world.
Our mission is to support and elevate the viola through a variety of initiatives. We provide valuable resources, including access to exclusive materials, networking opportunities, and competition and performance platforms. Through our international congresses, we aim to foster collaboration and innovation within the global viola community.

The Anna Lindh Foundation (ALF) was established in 2005 born out of the vision set forth by the Barcelona Process. The Barcelona Process is a key initiative launched in 1995 that transformed Euro-Mediterranean relations. This initiative marked a turning point, bringing together the European Union and 12 southern and eastern Mediterranean countries for the first Euro-Mediterranean Conference. The resulting Euro-Mediterranean Partnership aimed to build a common space of peace, stability, shared prosperity and dialogue between cultures and civilisations.
Based in the heart of the Mediterranean in Alexandria, ALF carries this mission forward as an intergovernmental organisation that brings together civil society entities, institutions, governments, and change-makers from across the Euro-Mediterranean region. Through its diverse programmes and initiatives, the ALF creates spaces for people to meet, learn, and collaborate on relevant key themes. By exchanging knowledge and experiences, ALF builds meaningful networks that transform dialogue into action creating a ripple effect that empowers individuals and communities, spreading positive change across the region where diversity is celebrated and everyone’s voice is valued.
