Desert Bloom for Training & Sustainable Development (Desert Bloom)

We improve life and transform the future by unleashing people’s full potential to contribute to the three pillars of sustainable development: Social Equity (People), Environmental Protection (Planet), and Economic Viability (Prosperity). We develop solutions for socio-economic empowerment toward enabling people to take control of their wellbeing and gain sustainable livelihoods. We pursue a holistic integrated approach to fulfil our mission combining interconnected four clusters:

1. Capacity Building

2. Arts, Sports, Culture and Humanities

3. Peace-building and conflict transformation

4. Environmental sustainability.

We envision an equitable, tolerant and socially inclusive world where people are empowered to contribute to a more sustainable world. Hence, we encourage people to think globally, while acting locally. We reinforce global competence and universal morality promoting values of respect, cultural diversity, continuous improvement and self-confidence to create opportunities for all and advance a shared respect for human dignity.

Our Target Group: marginalized people, particularly youth with fewer opportunities, coming from disadvantaged areas and backgrounds, including immigrants and refugees. Such people cross all socioeconomic, racial, religious, lifestyle, and cultural groups. They lack the self-efficacy to improve their life situation.

Arts, Sport, Culture and Humanities Programs:

● Cross-Cultural Exchanges and Projects- under Erasmus Plus and Anna Lindh Foundation projects.

● Art & Sport – for therapy, reintegration, intercultural understanding

● Intercultural Youth Camps (Local, regional and international voluntary work camps)
