The mission of Africa e Mediterraneo is to carry out activities related to international cooperation and to intercultural projects. The Association operates in order to encourage the intercultural knowledge between Europe and Africa, and the education to development; its commitment is based on the belief that education and Culture promotion are a means to development, peace and justice. Another important issue is communication, conceived as the body of values, symbols and representations at the ground of the public space and of mass democracies. All that helps the community to represent itself and establishing relationships is regarded as a key tool for mutual knowledge.
The Association achieves its purposes through:
-the promotion of the magazine Africa e Mediterraneo, about the African culture and the knowledge between the North and South of the world;
-the organisation of visual art exhibitions, with a special attention to African comics;
-the realisation of seminars for teachers on immigration and intercultural issues;
-the development of projects promoting cultural co-operation and human rights, in order to give African artists the possibility to enter the international market;
-the development of international projects on inter-culture and development awareness issues; among the others, the projects Africa Comics, Valori Comuni, Approdi, Intercultural Map, Manifesta!, realised with the support of the European Commission.
