The Euromed University Encounters: Dialogue for a united and plural future

Under the High Patronage of His Majesty King Mohammed VI, Euromed University of Fes (UEMF) and its component The Chair Alliance of Civilizations organized, on December 6 and 7, the “ Encounters of the Euromed University of Fes on the Alliance of Civilizations”, a prestigious event that brought together eminent international personalities around the theme: Rebuilding trust for a united and plural world. These meetings highlighted the values of tolerance and cultural coexistence upheld by Morocco while addressing crucial issues for the future of humanity.

A celebration of universal values

The opening ceremony was marked by several highlights, notably the official inauguration of the Chair Alliance of Civilizations, created in partnership with the United Nations. This chair reflects UEMF’s commitment to intercultural dialogue and the promotion of peace. The presentation of the Mediterranean Prizes 2024, honoring emblematic figures of the Mediterranean rim, and an ecumenical concert inspired by the traditions of the three monotheistic religions also illustrated the spirit of sharing and diversity that animates this event.

A space for dialogue and reflection

During these two days, experts, political leaders and academics, among them Mr. Miguel Angel Moratinos, High Representative of the United Nations for the Alliance of Civilizations (UNAOC), Mr. André Azoulay, Advisor to His Majesty the King, Mr. Faouzi Lakjaa, Minister Delegate in charge of the Budget, Mr. Younès Sekkouri, Minister of Economic Inclusion, and Mouâd Jamaï, Wali of the Fès-Meknès region and Governor of the Prefecture of Fès, exchanged on varied themes. These exchanges, concerning preventive diplomacy, migration, the impacts of artificial intelligence and transparency in international relations, made it possible to identify collective solutions to global challenges such as climate crises, forced migrations and misinformation amplified by new technologies.
