Mission and Objectives

We aim to promote and improve intercultural contacts between Mediterranean migrants and local people in Europe from one side and between Mediterranean Arts/ Artists (in all fields but specially music) and European Arts / Artists by means of organizing the Euromediterranean Cultural Festival to be held every year in a different Euro-Mediterranean country.
The objective is to improve the contacts on public level and have better understanding between people (especially Moslem Arabs) and the people in Europe.

Main Projects / Activities

The Euromediterranean Cultural Festival (see above) and individual participations by artists / groups to be invited to perform in another country.
We are working on a project to get different professional musicians from different Euromed countries to perform one act with all their different music types/ rhythms/ structures etc.. (symbolic for our aims).
Produce Media projects serving the same objective and later establishing an Internet TV/ Radio Broadcasting.
