Aims of the movement
To
give meaning to the word ‘humanity’, openly, sensitively and
warmly accepting differences between individuals and social groups.
To
focus on creativity, understood as an expression of freedom and as a strategic
element at the centre of all sectors of human activity, including communication,
ecology, economy, education, philosophy, work, nutrition, politics, religion,
science and spirituality.
To
operate at an artistic, cultural level to tackle and solve the conflicts
and tensions generated by different cultures, channelling existing energies
in directions other than that of confrontation.
To
collaborate with universities, academies and cultural institutions that
run courses or activities connected with the Mediterranean.
To
set up courses and schools and offer master degree programmes and grants
for Mediterranean studies.
To
set up a workshop to create a socially committed art form expressing a new
way of thinking which transcends mere considerations of economic speculation
and is capable of inspiring all sectors of human activity.
To
forge the links of a wide-ranging chain of relationships and to promote
an exchange of ideas geared to the shaping of new prospects for society
around the shores of the Mediterranean.
To
work towards the establishment of a Mediterranean Cultural Parliament.
To
extend its activities beyond the Mediterranean basin in order to reach the
whole international community.
The
movement is non-political and non-profit making.
