The Mediterranean, a journey through the senses

When asked what the Mediterranean means to you, everyone’s answer will be different, and yet a reminder of a shared identity. The music and food that can immediately evoke fond memories. Sitting in the shade of an olive tree or looking out across any of the many unique skylines in a moment of peace and connection with nature. Transcending cultures and generations, the possibilities are endless.

So, how do you feel? Which of your senses are stirred by just that word, Mediterranean?

Shoot a short video, share a picture or a post and tell us… Which of your senses are stirred by just that word, Mediterranean?

In the same vein of the successful EuroMed Science Diplomacy Conference that was held at the UfM headquarters in October 2023, the High-level Meeting on Science Diplomacy focuses on science diplomacy for advancing cooperation and dialogue in the Mediterranean. The Conference is set to take place in Cairo in October 2024, under the shared coordination of the UfM, the Arab League and the European Union, jointly working on this dossier for the first time.

This event targets diplomats, directors of research institutes, senior officials in line Ministries (research, foreign affairs, development, environment, etc). The goal of the seminar is to present and discuss initiatives on how research, science and innovation can be transformative engines for dialogue and sectorial cooperation in the Euro-Mediterranean region.

Following a high-level segment, technical sessions will delve into thematic areas as priorities for the region, as well as discussing concrete actions to foster science diplomacy in the Euro-Mediterranean region.

High-level Meeting on Science Diplomacy / 2 October 2024

2024 is a year like no other. With the finishing line of the UN 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development fast approaching and the multiple crises faced worldwide, the next five years will be critical to shaping the future of our region.

The Mediterranean region, like a sea facing both calm and turbulence, experiences progress and hardship.

Conflicts shake our societies and raise questions about our humanity, exacerbated by the rise of disinformation that builds walls instead of bridges. Unemployment and exclusion affect our youth’s future prospects on both shores, as climate change ravages our coasts and ecosystems, and inequalities continue to deepen within and across our societies. As a result, migration in the region appears as a symptom of deep-rooted causes that aren’t yet treated properly.

But within these challenges lie incredible opportunities: the chance to shape the Mediterranean we want, built on resilience, cooperation, and a better tomorrow for all.

Grand accomplishments are only the sum of our individual voices and actions towards a tomorrow we all strive for. The future is for us to see. The future is for us to make.

Your Voice, Our Future
This Day of the Mediterranean, we’re turning the spotlight on you. Local leaders, everyday heroes, passionate citizens, trailblazing youths, and innovative businesspeople – your voices are the key to transformation.

It’s your ideas, your actions, and your unwavering belief in a better future that will chart the course for our shared Mediterranean home.

This campaign is your platform. Let’s identify our greatest challenges, ignite solution-driven conversations, and highlight the changemakers who are already building a brighter, more sustainable, and more prosperous Mediterranean for generations to come.

Middle East and North Africa (MENA) are influenced by distinctive geographical, ecological, geopolitical, and cultural factors. The region grapples with challenges such as water scarcity, demographic shifts, youth unemployment, poverty, changing consumption patterns, urbanization, energy demands, environmental degradation, climate change, and gender disparities. Many of these issues are directly tied to water resources.

Water, food, energy, and ecosystems are crucial for human well-being, poverty alleviation, and sustainable development, playing interconnected roles within natural, institutional, economic, and social frameworks. For instance, water is vital for agricultural production and sustains the entire agro-food supply chain.

The Water-Energy-Food-Ecosystems Nexus aims to bolster water, energy, and food security while preserving ecosystems, enhancing climate resilience, promoting sustainable consumption patterns, increasing efficiency, and improving governance.

At the heart of the MENA Water Matchmaker 2 project were two scalable WEFE Nexus interventions. These projects utilized renewable solar energy to pump treated wastewater from Wadis for irrigation, benefitting nearby farmlands in Jordan and Palestine. Gender mainstreaming was achieved by involving female farmers in wastewater reuse and agribusiness promotion. The interventions aimed to support families and create seasonal job opportunities.

The project also aimed to provide measurable and scalable contributions for broader application in UfM MENA countries, aligning with the UfM Water Agenda and Sweden’s Strategy for MENA 2021-2025

La région euro-méditerranéenne s’enorgueillit d’un patrimoine riche et diversifié, façonné par des siècles d’échanges culturels. Creuset de langues et de traditions diverses, la région partage un héritage et un profond sentiment d’identité et d’appartenance. Aujourd’hui, cet héritage continue d’inspirer nos valeurs et aspirations communes, nous rappelant l’importance de construire des ponts et de favoriser la compréhension entre les cultures.

C’est dans cet esprit que les 43 États membres de l’Union pour la Méditerranée ont lancé les « Capitales méditerranéennes de la culture et du dialogue » lors de leur 7e Forum régional en novembre 2022.

Basée sur l’appel des ministres de la Culture de la région euro-méditerranéenne le 17 juin 2022 à Naples, ainsi que sur la recommandation de plus de 200 jeunes représentants de la société civile de plus de 20 pays lors du Forum des Mondes Méditerranéens en février 2022 à Marseille, cette initiative a été conçue pour promouvoir davantage la diversité et l’identité partagée et contribuer à une meilleure compréhension mutuelle de ses peuples.

Cette initiative a été développée en partenariat avec des jeunes représentants de la société civile et des États membres de l’UpM.

The Euro-Mediterranean region boasts a rich and diverse heritage, shaped by centuries of cultural exchange. A melting pot of different languages and traditions, the region shares a heritage and a deep sense of identity and belonging. Today, this legacy continues to inspire our shared values and aspirations, reminding us of the importance of building bridges and fostering understanding between cultures.

In that spirit, the 43 Member States of the Union for the Mediterranean launched the “Mediterranean Capitals of Culture & Dialogue” during their 7th Regional Forum in November 2022.

Based on the call of Ministers of Culture of the Euro-Mediterranean region on 17 June 2022 in Naples, as well as the recommendation of more than 200 young representatives from the civil society of over 20 countries at the Forum des Mondes Méditerranéens on February 2022 in Marseille, this initiative was shaped to further promote the diversity and shared identity and contribute to a better mutual understanding of its peoples.

This initiative was developed in partnership with young civil society representatives and UfM member states.
