Women Actress of Dialogue

The Joint Action KĪMIYYA: Women Actress of Dialogue”, conceived and organized by the Fondazione Mediterraneo and 12 Anna Lindh Foundation National Networks adhere to it: Albania, Algeria, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Spain, France, Italy, Malta, Mauretania, Czech Republic, Lithuania, Slovenia and Tunisia.
The action aims to gather and deepen the work done so far by formulating concrete recommendations and operational guidelines
Women are the main “promoters” of connections between civil societies: by supporting their training, education and access to new tools and modern digital technologies, it will be possible to facilitate the intercultural dialogue in the Euro-Med region, reduce migration and address the causes of conflict.
The name KĪMIYYA has been chosen because in the ancient languages of Mediterranean culture (Aramaic, Arab, Greek and other languages), it means “to embrace”, “melt”, “put together”, “meet”, “share” and “mix”.

 

At the International Conference “KIMIYYA THE ACTRESS WOMEN OF THE DIALOGUE”, Fondazione Mediterraneo organized concerts and dinners with the participation of artists from several countries: from France, Christina Rosmini, from Italy Fabio Furìa, Maura Porru, Emilia Zamuner,and Bruno Caviglia.

  • the situation of the FAL and relations with the Secretariat of Alexandria;

On the second point, the Leaders unanimously wrote a letter to the Italian Minister for Foreign Affairs requesting respect for the choices of the Italian Network and confirming that they did not recognize and did not cooperate with a designated and non-democratically elected leader. To this end, together with members of the Advisory Council and representatives of international organizations, they signed an appeal addressed to the Foreign Minister and the President of the Italian Republic.

In it, a new leader of the “RIDE-aps” was appointed to replace the Fondazione Mediterraneo, elected as such by the General Assembly of 11 September 2015 and with anexpiring mandate set for 11 September 2018 (as confirmed by MAECI by letter of 23.11.2015).
Members unanimously expressed their dismay at this decision and sent a letter to the Minister Alfano with a proposal of a mediation with twoleaders.
The representative of “CO.PE.A.M.” - Ms. Paola Parri, - declares "to have confirmed the membership of CO.PE.A.M. to the RIDE association and that this does not conflict with the status that the CO.PE.A.M. he is a member of the FAL Italian Network (see signed minutes, page 12).
This was the unanimous opinion of the 26 members of the National Network, many of them members of the FAL Advisory Council and representatives of international organizations who sent a letter and an appeal to the Minister Alfano.
The lawyer responsible for the Italian Network Dr. Salvatore Calleri - President of the Caponnetto Foundation - sent a letter to the Minister requesting the implementation of the only possible solution.
In order to facilitate this solution - the appointment of two leaders, one "RIDE – aps” and the other “Anna Lindh Italy Onlus Federation”, with the allocation of resources at the “RIDE- aps” alone - the General Assembly, legitimately constituted and legitimately deliberating, has approved new "Internal Rules" that allow the immediate implementation of the proposed solution.
The General Assembly of the “Anna Lindh Italia Onlus Federation” met on August 28, 2017.
Many members of the Italian Network have expressed the intention to write autonomously to Minister Alfano. Details in the attached documentation.
