Ras El Hanout met désormais en œuvre son objet social à travers 3 axes : 1. Éducation permanente : des moments collectifs de réflexion, de débats et d’émancipation afin de promouvoir le développement et l’exercice d’une citoyenneté engagée et pluraliste. 2. Expression et Créativité : former à des pratiques artistiques permettant de s’exprimer afin d’éveiller la créativité, l’imaginaire, la sensibilité artistique individuelle et collective. 3. Productions Artistiques : produire la culture, en tant que sujet et pas objet, pour créer du lien dans la société et éveiller des consciences. Et également accompagner les artistes vers un perfectionnement et une professionnalisation, essentiellement dans le domaine des arts de la scène. Le but commun de ces axes est de promouvoir l’expression des différentes cultures au travers de la réflexion, du dialogue et de l’échange et d’offrir un espace d’expression, de partage, d’expérience, d’acquisition de connaissances et de savoir-faire.

- integrate people through their art
- organizing workshops by refugees artists for local people

Revolve's WATER AROUND THE MEDITERRANEAN is directed by Francesca de Châtel. Through a series of essays, features and interviews with decision-makers and analysts, this section sheds light on key issues, including trans-boundary water management in strategic basins; the impact of climate change; alternative sources such as desalination and treated waste water; and the future of agriculture in the Mediterranean. Aiming towards a widely-distributed booklet for the World Water Forum 2012 in Marseille, Revolve is combining insightful opinion pieces with on-the-ground reporting. WATER AROUND THE MEDITERRANEAN gives readers fresh insights into challenges facing the Mediterranean region and how they may be addressed.

At an international level: The main method used by SCI to promote its values is short and long term international voluntary service projects. More than 5000 volunteers participate in these activities every year, including East-West and North-South exchanges. SCI also organises international seminars and solidarity campaigns, education and training courses. The activities cover a wide range of fields including: antiracism, North South solidarity, intercultural dialogue, migrations, ecology, peace and conflict resolution, etc. At a national level: Every year, SCI Belgium sends about 200 volunteers abroad. The volunteers who participate to this intercultural exchange program have to take part in a training including different sessions. SCI Belgium also runs many raising awareness activities in youth groups (in schools and associations). The volunteers can also get involved in different action groups which aims are to treat themes (such as migrations, North-South relationships, globalization issues, Latin American, African or Mediterranean issues, etc) in order to raise awareness and knowledge about them. They do that through articles, conferences, solidarity actions, etc.
