The main purpose of the CEREMED is the understanding of the human development process inside Egypt, the Arab world and the Mediterranean area and to encourage the Egyptian university graduates to continue to read and discuss books, and to do research on their own society and culture open to other cultures and religions with the help of experts in seminars, workshops and training sessions in order to become efficient, open-minded promoters of human development in their society without any kind of segregation.
Brother Fayez died on the 7th of October 2005, but the actual direction of the J.C.C. and the CEREMED is anxious to find the necessary founds not only to continue and even to increase all those activities that are done freely, but hopefully the Centre would be able also to improve the quality by engaging better teachers, trainers and artists.
The CEREMED was founded in connection with the other departments of the J.C.C., one for cultural performances of theatre, music, Egyptian folklore, poetry, dance (since autumn 2000 most of them are performed in “the Garage”) , and also workshops for cinema training, theatre training, music training and last but not least the training of young journalists.
By all those cultural and intellectual training activities the J.C.C. and the CEREMED try to promote in a practical way a better mutual understanding, respect and collaboration between the different religions inside the civil society.
The CEREMED is also in charge of the permanent training of about 250 volunteer teachers in five centers of the El-Ghad Association for primary and preparatory kids in the poorest areas of Alexandria.
