Goals / remit
| Goals / remit of the organisation: |
The African Diaspora Youth Network in Europe – ADYNE is a platform of organisations, led and driven by young Africans and young people with African backgrounds living in Europe1. It aims and endeavours to serve the interests of young people from all over Europe, promoting their active participation in a constructive dialogue between African and European societies.
For the past years, a growing number of young African leaders from the Diaspora have felt the need to create a network to connect with each other and express their needs, interests and aspirations. They strongly believe that, as Africans from the Diaspora, they can be key actors and be the bridge between African and European societies. Therefore, they joined their efforts to make this vision a reality and launched a process that resulted in the establishment of the African Diaspora Youth Network in Europe - ADYNE.
ADYNE is a continuous process that aims to become the face of the African Diaspora young people in Europe, actively participating and contributing, for the sustainable development of our societies!
OUR VISION
A world where every African Diaspora youth in Europe can unite as global citizens and contribute to the sustainable development of both continents.
OUR MISSION
To be the network that connects organisations and individuals, to collaborate and actively participate as global citizens, to shape the lives of African Diaspora young people in Europe.
OUR VALUES
To be youth led and youth driven, to be responsible and inspirational citizens and leaders that exhibit courage and a positive image of Africa and the African Diaspora Youth in Europe;
To aspire to positive change and excellence in everything that we do, working with mutual understanding and respect, in a learning and involved environment;
Preserve as we promote African cultures and heritage, and the knowledge that comes from them, to enrich the diversities that strengthen the African Diaspora identity;
Live and share the spirit of "Ubuntu" that recognises coexistence, humanity, belonging and accountability, and which aims to serve and respect others.
OBJECTIVES
To provide a space for organisations and individuals to exchange and share similar interests, goals and aspirations.
To offer strategic support for capacity building, networking and the dissemination of good practices.
To voice the concerns of its member organisations in the political agenda of governmental, as well as European, African and international institutions.
To produce policies and positions, which are based on the research, experience and expertise of young Africans living in Europe.
