The spreading of terrorism on a planetary scale, the stalemate of the peace-keeping process and the ecological risks impose concrete efforts to meet new challenges: political, cultural, economic, social and environmental ones.
The Fondazione Mediterraneo has been concerned with these subjects, since 1994, working for the Euro-Mediterranean Partnership (Union for the Mediterranean) and for the development of the relations between Europe and the Arab World through actions aiming at promoting dialogue between the different cultures. In order to strengthen relations and cooperation between Europe and the Arab World – especially at a moment when the global crisis and the increasing tensions in the Middle East risk to stop the dialogue started by social and institutional actors - it is indispensable to promote an organic reflection and to valorize the examples of good practices, so as to make the best use of the available resources. For these reasons the Fondazione Mediterraneo – together with the League of the Arab States and other institutional partners from European and Arab World Countries - has decided to establish the Maison des Alliances, whose primary aim is to promote, in the global scene, the neighbourhood among the Peoples of Europe, of the Mediterranean and of the Arab World by dissemination of knowledge and of centuries-old historical-cultural memories, in order to strengthen community and solidarity feelings, as well as raising awareness of shared values and interests. |

The Union des Jeunes Euro-Maghrébins (UJEM) and the Federacion Asociaciones de Jovenes Emprendedores de Castilla y Leon organized the 4th edition of the Euromagrebin Forum of Youth in Miranda de Ebro (Spain).
Fondazione Mediterraneo partecipated with a relation of the President Michele Capasso who attented a round table with Ismail Alaoui, President of Progress Party and Moroccan Socialism, and Carmen Romero, President of Circulo Mediterraneo.
At the end of the Forum, young people drew up a formal document for the creation of the“Maison des Alliances” in Naples at the seat of Fondazione Mediterraneo. The “Maison des Alliances” should be a symbolic place where to gather up informally decisors and organizers of different International bodies to realize common actions, to avoid waste of resources.
Other suggestions adopted:
- the organisation of the Second Euromagrebin Caravan of Youth;
- the launch of Euromagrebin Show of public sector in Tangeri;
- the creation of a Euromagrebin Radio for young people;
- the organisation of the next edition of the Forum in Naples, at the seat of Fondazione Mediterraneo.
