General Information
Il Tamarindo was founded in 2009 by Lorenzo Kihlgren Grandi together with the editorial board of the multilingual European cultural magazine The Tamarind. The NGO is an active member of the Round Table for Youth of MILAN EXPO 2015, the Euro-Mediterranean Youth Platform, the Anna Lindh Foundation network and the Intercultural Leaders network. Il Tamarindo's projects are implemented in the framework of wide transnational partnerships with universities and research centers, governmental and intergovernmental institutions as well as other NGOs.
Mission and Objectives

The mission is the diffusion and enhancement of the cultural debate among Euro-Mediterranean youth, to be achieved by means of the magazine and of other cultural activities such as symposia, competitions and exhibitions. Il Tamarindo's activities aim at empowering the young actors involved, with particular interest for the intercultural dialogue as a medium for mutual enrichment, renewed friendship and more profound understanding between different cultures.

Main Projects / Activities

The Tamarindo is actively involved in the organization of projects in partnership with actors from the whole Euro-Mediterranean region. Among the most recent activities: the Nausicaa Pavilion competition for young architects: 145 participants from both Southern and Northern Mediterranean countries. Another example is the Nausicaa Lab Contest, the first competition for young Euro-Mediterranean cultural and creative entrepreneurs. The second edition of the Nausicaa Lab project is currently being implemented in close cooperation with several partners from all over the region.
