Conference cycle
Since the signing of the agreement to create the ICESCO chair for arts, sciences and civilizations within the Euromed University of Fez, the University once again welcomes its partner ICESCO: the Islamic World Organization for Education, Sciences and Culture for another meeting, this time focusing on a conference around the theme: “the world facing uncertainty: what role does culture play in rethinking the journey towards humanity? ".
This conference is organized by the UEMF and ICESCO in partnership with the German Konrad-Adenauer Foundation, active in more than 100 countries around the world including Morocco where it supports young people and women as well as state and non-state institutions. states, political actors and civil society to better define their actions and contribute to lasting changes. Through this event, the partners aim to highlight the challenges that the world is currently facing following the multiple repercussions of the health crisis on economic and social levels but also divisions and tensions of a geopolitical, economic and ideological nature. In relation to this context, the aim is also to show that through the promotion of culture and its various levers, it is possible to rethink the future of our humanity outside of the murky images that the world is currently experiencing. As André Malraux rightly says, culture is “what has made man something other than an accident of the universe”. Given this approach, it is clear that culture is not just a superfluous component in the current situation where the digital industry and augmented humans reign.
