THE FONDAZIONE MEDITERRANEO EXPRESSES ITS CONVENIENCE FOR THE DEATH OF SAID MARGOUL
|
20 July 2021
The president Michele Capasso and the members of the international committee of the Fondazione Mediterraneo express their deep condolences for the disappearance of Said Margoul.
President Capasso, after recalling the relations of fraternal friendship with Said since 1988 and the collaboration in numerous peace and cooperation initiatives, drew the profile of the "dear brother Said" who died at 65 in Marrakech.
"Member of the Mediterranean Foundation and main promoter of the Marrakech office since 1997, Said flew to the sky on the day in which the editing of the docufilm that summarizes 30 years of the Foundation is completed - said the president Capasso with emotion - and together with his wife Zora and to his sons Amine and Sarra, with his wisdom and serenity, he collaborated in the main moments of the Foundation and of the Marrakech office: in particular the delicate ones concerning the dialogue between Islam and the West.
In honor of him we dedicate the 30th anniversary film of the Foundation to him, leaving the initial montage he shared “intact”. To 'brother Said' goes the homage of the members of the Foundation, the directors of the branch offices and the members of the International Committee".
At the conclusion of the commemoration, the International Committee decided to hold a room in the Museum in Said Margoul.

THE FONDAZIONE MEDITERRANEO PARTICIPATES IN THE 2021 EDITION OF THE STATES GENERAL OF CULTURE: "THE NEW FRONTIERS OF CULTURE"
|
12 July 2021
The Fondazione Mediterraneo participated in the 2021 edition of the States General of Culture: “The new frontiers of culture” organized by Sole 24 Ore.
The culture and entertainment sector has been one of the hardest hit by the containment measures introduced in the EU to curb the spread of the coronavirus. In recent months, limitations and 'pre-covid' business models have been exposed, but at the same time an incredible opportunity for renewal and reorganization has presented itself, for those who will be able to seize it.
On this occasion, the president Michele Capasso underlined that the profound cultural and technological changes require new professional figures, new investments, and a new widespread digital competence.
Internationalization, transmedia and new skills are some of the elements not to be underestimated for a sector that must transform in order to restart.
"SUNDAY OF THE SEA" CELEBRATED AT THE MUSEUM OF PEACE MAMT
|
11 July 2021
The MAMT Peace Museum celebrated the "Sunday of the sea" with the celebration of the Holy Mass dedicated to the migrants who died in the sea. Previously, homage was paid to the "TOTEM DELLAPACE" with the urn of the unknown migrant in the port of Naples.
Every year, 11 July is an opportunity to remember the 1.7 million workers of the maritime industry, but also the many chaplains and volunteers of the "Stella Maris" who continue to offer their support, at every latitude.
"The world has stopped, but ships have never stopped carrying medical equipment and essential medicines from one port to another to support the fight against the spread of the virus", recalled Cardinal Peter K.A. Turkson, Prefect of the Dicastery for Promoting Integral Human Development, in the message for the day.
The Day was born in England in 1975 on the initiative of the Apostolate of the Sea, the Mission to Seafarers and the Sailors' Society, but then took on an international and ecumenical dimension. In Italy it was celebrated in a particular way in Savona, with the Holy Mass broadcast live on RaiUno and on the large video walls of the Museum.
Pope Francis, in the Angelus from the Gemelli Hospital, recalled the importance of the sea as a place of solidarity and love.
On this occasion, the Fondazione Mediterraneo sent a letter to the Minister for Ecological Transition professor Roberto Cingolani requesting the establishment of a "control room" for an integrated governance of issues related to the sea and the development of targeted strategies for its protection.

Over 4 million people have been forced to flee their homes and are now displaced within national borders.
The escalation of the conflict has led to a dramatic increase in the prices of food and other raw materials.
Consequently, the main problem right now is the lack of food: around 16 million people suffer from hunger.
In some areas of the country, about 1 in 4 children suffer from acute malnutrition.
