AEJI is participating at The Anna Lindh Mediterranean Forum coming weekend. This is a unique gathering that brings together youth leaders and civil society organisations, in addition to influential policy-makers and intercultural experts from across the Euro-Mediterranean region. Convoked every three years by the Anna Lindh Foundation, our goal is to provide an innovative and participative space for debate, networking and good practice exchange on intercultural dialogue initiatives. We welcome unique perspectives, and the participation of people from diverse origins, cultures and beliefs who can turn new ideas into action following the Forum.
The second edition of the Anna Lindh Forum takes place from 4th to 7th April in the French city of Marseille, European capital of culture for 2013.
Aiming at bringing citizens of the Euromed together, the 2013 Forum is launched under the slogan of “Citizens for the Mediterranean”, reflecting on the need for intercultural dialogue and cooperation to deal with challenges facing the region following historic Arab Awakening and the social impact of the economic crisis in Europe.
In this new Mediterranean context, the Forum will be a landmark event for re-launching dialogue at the regional level. More specifically, the Forum will be an opportunity to address the major Trends, Tensions and Transitions facing the Euro-Mediterranean societies, and for adapting intercultural dialogue as a tool for civic participation.
