EuroMed Cafe
For the Intercultural Dialogue between the two shores of the Mediterranean
Clichés, prejudices, the rise of Islamic radicalism, repeated terrorist attacks and the threat of armed conflict…All these issues seem to cast doubt on the very idea of proximity between the different peoples of the Mediterranean region. If dialogue remains difficult, this is because the mutual representations, the collective imaginaries seem fixed, because there is a lack of openness and space in which to foster mutual discovery and exchange.
Euromedcafe, a portal created at the initiative of the Fondazione Mediterraneo, aims to be a "meeting place" within the Euro-Mediterranean region as its creators are convinced that intercultural dialogue is not only necessary to safeguard peace, but is also an essential resource for collective enrichment.
Euromedcafe aims to renew and stimulate dialogue between European and Mediterranean peoples, by involving civil society and giving people the opportunity to express themselves directly and in a fair way. Thanks to the financial support of the Anna Lindh Euro-Mediterranean Foundation for Dialogue between Cultures, in 2007 and 2008 professional women, working in the new media, will be in charge of the news section of the site, i.e. the articles and interviews that explore in depth the different cultures of the Mediterranean and increase mutual awareness. In 2007, the site will continue to promote interaction with "Another Look" (4th edition) and "Other Songs" (3rd edition) and it will also launch the training course "Writing for the Web" intended for women journalists from Southern Mediterranean countries in order to strengthen the role of women as supporters and promoters of intercultural dialogue. This training course will give participants the chance to contribute, with the help of professional journalists, to the news section of the site.
