Peace and Harmony is its prime intervention as communal tensions in the village was the basic reason behind its inception. The area in which the organization operates comprises of Hindu and Muslim communities and also is inhabited by Tribal people.
ALFA has formed 2 Shanti Committees to tackle the problem of conflicts and organizes local kadiras where people from both hindu and the muslim communities come on a common platform to discuss the issues and solve the matter. We conduct discussions with the youth, do workshops and make them understand through film screenings about these issues and sensitize them to beware from the misleading elements that spread rumors in the community due to which conflicts happen. Youth is the future of our nation, our next generation, so it is imperative to sensitize them.
ALFA filmy believes in the need for communities within Udaipur District to set aside preconceptions of others within their community and focus on community development to re-establish peace. Through the use of workshops ALFA aims to facilitate understanding of other cultures within the community. Moreover, the use of workshops helps to build the capacities of the youth to become advocates of peace in their communities.
ALFA conducts film screenings on various issues including peace and harmony, films are always followed by a discussion. The screening of films and documentaries helped the participants to understand and connect the issues with their local community. Films are a good way to bring about change in societies thinking towards other communities.
