International conference: Mediterranean and Interculturalities: today's realities and future challenges

The UNESCO Chair of the Euromed University of Fes "Mediterranean Interculturalities" organized an international conference on May 24, 2024 on the theme: "Mediterranean and Interculturalities: today's realities and future challenges." 

In the presence of Prof. Mansour M'Henni, special guest of this event held on the Eco-campus, a range of participants highlighted different avenues by which the issue of interculturality can serve as a lever for building a Mediterranean reconciled with itself, its peoples and its societies. Emphasis was placed on the terminologies to be developed to better think of the Mediterranean as a space, historical depth and promise of the future, addressing the subject from different perspectives (in French, English and Spanish). 

Likewise, the approaches employed, drawing on multiple media (crafts, journals, literary texts, migration, imagination, communication, etc.), demonstrated the importance of providing training in intercultural values to combat exclusion, dogmatism and other forms of extremism that hinder the rebuilding of a Mediterranean considered as a memory of the future.
