Euro Mediterranean Education and Culture Association

EMECA was founded in 2012 to organise and promote cultural and educational exchanges between people living in the Mediterranean region. Through its educational activities, EMECA works to foster and promote not only intercultural tolerance and understanding, but to celebrate, inspire and stimulate curiosity, desire and appreciation for the wealth of cultural diversity in the region. 
 The Mediterranean region has been particularly affected by recent problems related to political, social and economic changes and conflicts that have taken a strain on populations in the region. As a result, issues related to culture and education may be given less priority by local, national and international authorities. EMECA believes that encouraging educational and cultural activities is more important than ever given the current climate which tends to result in cultural isolationism and assertion of individual identities that serves to prolong tension. EMECA is convinced that resolution of problems facing humanity stemming from greed driven exploitation and globalisation, can best be addressed through non-invasive methods such as the promotion and development of intercultural exchange
