- Meeting Points, a series of events that aims to create connections and interactions among artists from the region.
- The Informal Meeting of independent cultural spaces and operators in the Arabic speaking region, a project aiming at creating mobility circuits and stimulating touring possibilities for contemporary artistic creations in the region.
