Since last June 15 it is active the project of the Italian network Anna Lindh that promotes joint actions to strengthen the dialogue between cultures in the Mediterranean. The focus of the project is the island of Lampedusa, which is, because of its geographical location, a bridge between Europe and Africa. the island has become in recent years the "gate of life", as it is defined by the migrants who find landfall here, especially those seeking protection and a better future. Lampedusa is a door open or closed which can represent life or death depending on the choices that governments and states make and will make. But Lampedusa is also a place of intersection of stories and people: its beautiful coastlines, the crystal clear waters, natural parks and centuries of culture make it one of the most interesting places in the Mediterranean.
The leader is the national Arci.
The Italian regions, partners of this project are: Sicily (ARCI; Legambiente; Fondazione Mediterraneo, Associazione Culturale Mediterranea), Lazio (Arci and Associazione BabelMed), Marche (Circolo Culturale Africa), Tuscany (Cospe), Sardinia (Carovana SMI e Is Mascareddas), Piedmont (Istituto Paralleli; CICSENE; T.I.R. Teatro in Rivolta; University of Torino- sceince education; Rosselli Foundation), Lombardy (Amazelab), Veneto (FISPMED Onlus).
The Southern partners are :: Albania (Albanian Forum for the Alliance of Civilizations) and Tunisia (We love Sousse).
The project provides a "path" that will involve at least 70 organizations that are part of the Italian Network of the Anna Lindh Foundation starting from their specificity. The project aims at involving young people in workshop activities that will take place on the island of Lampedusa. Young people of the island, young migrants, youth workers of organizations of the Italian network participating in workshops.
It started from Lampedusa in July 2012 with the fourth edition of LampedusaInFestival entitled "The encounter with the Other." The Festival will took place in Lampedusa 19 to 23 July 2012 and through film and literature investigated the themes of migration and recovery of oral history.
Going through a series of regional preparatory meetings in the months that follow, it will get again on the island between May and June 2013 for a series of workshops and meetings on topics ranging from design and European subsidiary, to 'information and journalism, passing for art and gastronomy.
