THE TOPIC OF THE PUBLIC DIALOGUE
In February 2021 the European Commission and the High Representative today adopted a joint communication proposing an ambitious and innovative new Agenda for the Mediterranean aiming at relaunching and strengthen the strategic partnership between the European Union and its Southern Neighbourhood partners. The Agenda aims to join forces in fighting climate change and speeding up the green and digital transitions, to renew the commitment to shared values, to jointly address forced displacement and migration, and to strengthen the unity of the EU, its Member States and the Southern Mediterranean countries in promoting peace and security in the Mediterranean region.
Against this backdrop, the Anna Lindh Foundation – the first institution created by the governments of the Euro-Mediterranean Partnership with the mandate to bring together civil society and citizens across the Mediterranean to build trust and improve mutual respect and understanding between cultures – will continue to play a crucial role in promoting intercultural dialogue and moving forward towards more inclusive and sustainable societies in the EuroMed region.
