THE GOVERNMENT OF THE REPUBLIC OF MAKEDONIA
Given that the Fondazione Laboratorio
Mediterraneo proposes itself as a key subject of the Mediterranean Civil
Society working towards the creation of an effective dialogue among the people
living on its shores. It paid particular attention to South-Eastern Europe and
the countries of the Southern shore, that due to historical events occupied a
secondary role in terms of culture and international politics of the last few
centuries.
A post-colonial era cannot be conceived of in a serious manner without
sensing the deep unity which ties all countries of the Mediterranean, whatever
their degree of social and economic development. Lacking this harmonising
vision and its consequent unifying conduct, many mediterranean countries will
find difficulties in coming out of the situation they fell in the historical
period when they were objects rather than subjects (slave trade, colonialism,
exploitation of the South; stagnation under the great empires and conditions of
underdevelopment for the South-East).
In order to overcome this phase
and to reach a full and equalitarian
participation a change in conscience is needed, based on the recognition of the
role played by those Countries in the shared history, and a political revolution
that overcomes direct or indirect assistence in order to enter a true
partnership logic, able to rediscover and respect the historical individuality
and the cultural uniqueness of all Mediterranean people in order to establish
equalitarian form of association.
Essential preamble of this process
is a new vision of the Mediterranean.
The Mediterranean must be seen in its entirety, not partially by sector
or region.
Upon this concept the Fondazione
Laboratorio Mediterraneo has structured its main actions, proposing
Regions, Cities and local collectivities of euromediterranean countries as the
focus of all action.
Given that the Fondazione Laboratorio Mediterraneo is a non-profit organisation
legally recognized by the Regional Council of Campania with resolution n. 11315
dated 25/3/97, and by the Ministry for Arts and Culture with resolution dated
20/4/99 and issued on the G.U . n. 113 dated 17/5/99. The Fondazione Laboratorio Mediterraneo is recognized “Ente culturale
di Rilievo” with resolution n. 2228 dated 18/5/99 by the Regional Council of
Campania.
The objectives of the Fondazione
Laboratorio Mediterraneo are:
a) Pursues
an ideal of peace and brotherhood among the people of the Mediterranean area -
"cradle" of some of the most ancient civilisations – in order to give
value to dignity to the Mediterranean world and multiple realities that compose
it contributing to allow Macedonia to assume a important role for Europe and
Mediterranean countries.
b) Records
and diffuses the experiences made by the various euromediterranean people in
order to remove hostiliities and misunderstandings, getting closer, from North
to South and from East to West, the shores of the Mediterranean.
c) Promotes
common values through a stronger dialogue between cultures that contributes to
a reconciliation of the societies and of the people of the Mediterranean, in
the awareness of the common challenges and of the necessary commitment of joint
responibility towards the creation in the region of an area of peace and shared
prosperity.
d)
Promotes the
value and the coexistence of different cultural-linguistic entities giving
priorities to human and Civil Society rights in the Euromediterranean region.
e)

f)
Promotes
studies, researches, publications, permanent forum, conferences and cultural
encounters.
g) Identifies
and valorises a “mediterranean culture" in order to assert, by respecting
and giving value to each specific identity,
a common identity that favours feelings of peace and cooperation between
people.
h) Promotes
and develops initiatives in terms of Euromediterranean partnership and
decentralised cooperation in order to transform the debate taking place in the
Mediterranean area and involving the Euromediterranean area, concomitant but
divided, in an open and constructive collective talk, promoting the encounter,
the exchange, mutual respect, the collaboration and the solidarity between
neighbouring Countries.
i) Plans,
develops and activates specialising databases in various disciplines.
l) Promotes and valorises - through
“EuromedCity” - the identity of euromediterranean cities.
m) Favours
dialogue and constructive confrontation between young mediterranean people.
n) Works towards the amelioration of schooling
infrastructures and universities with the aim of realising a basic curriculum
common to all Mediterranean countries.
o) Promotes
research into health and for the promotion of physical well-being.
p) Creates
a network between the various organs of the euromediterranean Civil Society.
q)

executive instrument of the Academy of Mediterranean.
s) Promotes, organizes and manages:
-
Training, updating and qualification
activities focused on young people enemployed and/or employed;
-
Training, updating and qualification

Given that the Fondazione realises the above stated objectives through the following organisms it established:
LABMED, ACADEMY OF THE MEDITERRANEAN, EUROMEDCITY, ISOLAMED, ALMAMED.
In such context the

Given that the Fondazione Laboratorio
Mediterraneo, through the “Labmed” network, is active in the following fields:
1 Intercultural Dialogue - The initiatives are directed in
favour of the encounter and confrontation between different cultures,
religions, traditions and different mode las of social organisation of the
Countries on the two shores of the Mediterranean. The construction of
opportunities for the encounter, debate and elaboration with the widest and
most articulated participation possible, constitute the working objective in
this sphere through the “Labmed interculture” project.
2 Development of the cultural heritage (artistic, architectural,
archaeological, environmental) of the Mediterranean by cataloguing and
monitoring through the use of new technologies and telecommunication
instruments. The exegesis of the mediterranean cultural unit underlying such
diversity of cultures through the millennia constitutes one of the priority
objectives. The acknowledgement of the memories of the past overcomes a ‘mere
inventory value’ of the cataloguing activity operated on the cultural heritage.
In such area the project “Labmed cultural heritage” has been activated, aiming
at cataloguing and endorse the cultural heritage on a mediterranean scale in
order to increment the opportunities of
employment and development linked to the exploitation of such heritage.
3 Youth – Young people represent the emerging group
of the mediterranean area. To favour a
dialogue between them and a constructive and permanent confrontation is a priority that is explicited through the
project named “Labmed Youth”. The immediate objective is to work towards the
constitution of a permanent Forum of young people from Mediterranean Countries
for the exchange of knowledge and experiences on themes such as schooling,
work, training and employment at the dawn of the third millennium, as well as
on their reciprocal cultural values.
4 Women, democracy and rights – The citizenship rights of women
risk to remain the enunciation of a formal principle if the entire Civil
Society does not work towards their actualisation. It is expected that
instruments promoting their development be established, in cooperation with the
numerous associations and women’s networks existing in the entire mediterranean
area. The Project “Labmed women, democracy, rights” is its expression.
5 Individual-environment-community interaction:
development, education and training – The construction of the social assets takes
place within the interaction between individual experiences (affections, beliefs,
memories, sentiments and plans) and collective social processes; thus, it is
considered opportune to favour individual and social wellbeing identifying the
aspects that facilitate the construction of positive synergies between the different Countries as well as
between ethnic and religious groups. Promotional actions for development,
education and training are co-activated in relation to the problems and themes
identified. A peculiarity of the project is to act in a perspective of
promotion of the participation and activation of the resources that the groups
and Countries possess. Such activity area is expressed through the project
“Labmed empowerment: education, training, employment”.
6 Cities – In light of the economic, political and
social transformations arisen from the actualisation of the global market, the
Labmed network and the Fondazione Laboratorio Mediterraneo work to reaffirm the
identity of mediterranean cities and act through projects, initiatives and
actions aimed at re-qualifying the urban context and its liveability.
7 Documentation Centre – Studies and research as well as
the collection of scientific and cultural material realised by the Fondazione
Laboratorio Mediterraneo constitute a documentation and technical support
centre for the projects and the activities realised through the Labmed network.
8 Civil Society Database – In order to consent to the
interested parties (Universities, research institutes, chambers of commerce,
private entrepreneurs, local authorities, international organisations etc.) the
rapid identification of partners with whom to present projects to the EU or
other international organisations, the Fondazione Laboratorio mediterraneo has
activated a Database of the Civil Society.
Given that the ACADEMY OF THE MEDITERRANEAN –
established in Naples by the FONDAZIONE LABORATORIO MEDITERRANEO on 10th
October 1998 – is the congregation of all of the NATIONAL ACADEMIES and other
ACADEMIES and CULTURAL INSTITUTIONS highly representative of the Countries
bordering the Mediterranean.
To date the Academy* boasts 561
participating institutions, among which 168 Universities, 67 national and
regional Academies, 200 cultural and research Institutes, 48 Cities, etc..
The ACADEMY OF THE MEDITERRANEAN has its FIRST OBJECTIVE in the creation
of the critical inventory of the culture of the Mediterranean - through
specific and coordinated programs, each entrusted to one of its branches, a
bureau or a long established Institution specialising in a particular field.
“Culture of the Mediterranean” signifies its:
A) natural and environmental heritage in their physical and historical
evolution;
B) learned and popular imagery heritage, studied through its roots, in
its developments and the possible archetypes;
C) cultural heritage, determined by all of its oral and written
manifestations.
By cultural heritage it is meant “material” culture, literary and
artistic culture, the thought tradition, speculative and scientific, popular
culture, the technical and practical traditions.
The ACADEMY OF THE MEDITERRANEAN thus establishes a vast database
resulting from the total of the programmed databases, which are being realised
or have already been completed.
This in progress electronic inventory constitutes the ensemble of
necessary but not sufficient data for the second objective of the ACADEMY OF
THE MEDITERRANEAN.
The SECOND OBJECTIVE of the ACADEMY
OF THE MEDITERRANEAN consists of establishing the complete ecology of
mediterranean culture.
Ecology must be intended for its current linguistic significance,
originally defined by Einar Haugen, The Ecology of Language, (Stanford
University Press, Stanford, California, 1972) as the studies derived from it
and lately redefined by Louis-Jean Calvet, Pour une écologie des langues du
monde (Plon, Parigi, 1999 ).
As ecology studies the relationship between organisms and their
environment, the ecology of mediterranean culture studies the relationship
among mediterranean cultures between them and mediterranean societies, that is
essentially the relationships and interactions between mediterranean cultures
and also between these cultures and mediterranean societies.
In order to actualise this second objective the ACADEMY OF THE
MEDITERRANEAN will undertake through its HEADQUARTERS, BRANCHES and
BUREAUX research activities, divulged
through the planned publications of the ACADEMY OF THE MEDITERRANEAN.
All research will consist of new and original contributions on the
problems tackled, no matter their nature. Excluded is – to the ACADEMY OF THE
MEDITERRANEAN - the diffusion of repetitive texts, in so far as everything
which scientifically selected information is already contained in its
databases.
The synthesis of its research activities will constitute the
Encyclopaedia of the Mediterranean, organised following distinct criteria
already established by the FONDAZIONE LABORATORIO MEDITERRANEO.
As the global database accomplishes the activities voted at serving the
first objective thus the Ebcyclopaedia of the Mediterranean will complete the research
and study aimed at the actualisation of the second objective.
The ACADEMY OF THE MEDITERRANEAN has
an INTERNAL STRUCTURE, consisting of its CONSTITUTIVE ORGANS, and a SPATIAL
ORGANISATION thus articulated#:
HEADQUARTERS: NAPLES
LARGE AREAS COORDINATION BRANCHES:
BRUXELLES, North; BARCELLONA, West; MARRAKECH, South; SKOPJE, South-East
Europe-Black Sea; AMMAN, Middle East; WARSAW, Eastern Europe.
GENERAL THEMATIC BRANCHES: the
Database and Naval Archaeology (CATTOLICA); Childhood (SESTRI LEVANTE); Education
(MARRAKECH); Migrations (LECCE); Water and Craftsmanship (MARSEILLES); Art
(AMMAN); Archaeology (JERICHO); Peace (RIMINI & JERUSALEM); Islands

Poetry (STRUGA); Olive trees (LARINO); la Desertification (MINERVINO MURGE);
Stones (CURSI); Schools (MELPIGNANO); Court Houses (SAN CESARIO); Cinema for
teenagers (GIFFONI VALLE PIANA).
These are functional articulations, characterised by the nature of the
programs to be accomplished, which do not constitute any hierarchical
organisation but only a systematic net
of meshes with a differing operational entity without a given
bureaucratic order.
All of the four spatial entities A),
B), C), D), have invariant links amongst themselves.
The HEADQUARTERS gathers the results
of the activities of all other BRANCHES and BUREAUX without asserting a dominance, by right nor fact, only responding
to its specific duty of accomplishing the FIRST and SECOND OBJECTIVE of the
ACADEMY OF THE MEDITERRANEAN.
The identification and constitution
of the various branches and bureaux is entrusted to the FONDAZIONE LABORATORIO
MEDITERRANEO, invested by the II FORUM CIVILE EUROMED to proceed, by its own
initiative and means, firstly to the constitution of the ACADEMY OF THE
MEDITERRANEAN and later to the conception and realisation of its spatial
organisation.
The
Academy of the Mediterranean constitutes - by its legitimacy and
representational character - the highest cultural expression of
euromediterranean countries, as several of the Academies that constitute it are
official representatives of culture in their respective countries.
The
Academy of the Mediterranean wishes to be a collegiate institution – officially
and effectively representing culture, science and economics – capable of
influence the policies of euromediterranean countries and the EU.

To Meet.
Communicate, Co-operate: these are the three main actions promoted by the
Academy in order to ensure Continuity, Coherence and Consequentiality to the
various initiatives to produce results. Training, further education and
information are some of the actions planned by the Academy.
Several
activities are expected to take place in the offices (central and branches) of
the Academy of the Mediterranean, a legacy of the Fondazione Laboratorio Mediterraneo, such as Fora on various themes: the scope is that of attributing structure
and coherence to meetings which are normally unrelated to each other and rather
occasional. The mission is to actively work towards the cultural and scientific
dimension of the Mediterranean.
The main activities planned are:
1 – Annual
Meeting of the General Assembly of the Academy
All the
members of the ACADEMY participate to this meeting (around 400 people between
the members of right, coopted members and corresponding members). In this
occasion the problems relating to the identification of unities and diversities
within the various cultural discourses are tackled, the plans for integration
are prepared through the constant dialogue with the cultural, political and
moral representatives of euromediterranean Countries, presenting a final report
to the EU.
2 – Meetings
of the Bureau
The Bureau of
the Academy, constituted as postulated in the approved Statute, meets in order
to define the cultural and scientific programs and the relative actions.
3 – The Forum
on Human Rights
The Academy of
the Mediterranean intends to promote a Forum on Human Rights, with the aim of
constituting a Database in progress relating to the analysis of Human Rights
practices in the various euromediterranean Countries, with the objective of rendering
them as convergent as possible through the institution of a Common Charter of
Human Rights in the euromediterranean area.
4 – Editorial
and multimedia Activities
The Academy
will structurally carry out important initiatives in the editorial and multimedia
domain. It will specifically edit:
- the series: The publications of the Academy
of the Mediterranean (already cited);
- a Repertory
of Mediterranean Academies and the Annals, grouping the information collected
by the national and regional Academies and at the assimilated Bodies of the
Mediterranean Countries acknowledging their activities, their projects and
their cultural and scientific publications;
- a Human
Rights Report, containing the results of the planned Forum. The aim of such
report is to promote coexistence between the various ethnic groups and balance
the different degrees of respect towards human rights in the mediterranean
region.
5 – Research
Activities
The Academy
will carry out actions destined to the pursuit of a new interpretation, with a
euromediterranean character, of those cultural sectors that the study tradition
in Western Europe has limited to a predominantly eurocentric vision, which
still persists today. The diffusion of this new vision of the euromediterranean
dimension – at present enclosed in the restricted specialist area – it will be divulged by the media through
opportune forms of broadcasting and be included in school
curricula and all other forms of cultural communication. A common research
program, that would allow the Academies of the different Countries to work
together on a common project, could be launched in relation to this first task.
Its results will be the object of a publication in a series carrying the
following mention: The publications of the Academy of the Mediterranean.
6 – The
Database
The Academy of
the Mediterranean will set up a database specialising in the various
disciplines in the domain of euromediterranean relations. Such database will be

it will associate itself to the Fondazione Laboratorio Mediterraneo (which has
been awarding the Prize for the past three years) for the awarding of the
Mediterranean Prize (peace, culture and arts) destined to reward every
significant effort for the construction of peace and for the valorisation of
culture and the Arts in the Mediterranean.
Furthermore,
the Academy will propose to two cities of the Mediterranean to create and
award, under its aegis, two special prizes destined to encourage young people’s
creativity in the Mediterranean.
8 – The Forum

The Academy of the Mediterranean, as a reference institution for the
euromediterranean partnership, is essential for specific projects and for all
those proposals that will be forwarded on behalf of the EU and other organisms
active within the partnership.
The Academy of
the Mediterranean has a refrence role for the euromediterranean region on
themes relating to human rights and the intercultural tradition which
chracterises mediterranean history with aim of intensifying and renewing it in
the framework of a modern culture. It intends to:
g- Experts and researchers on the intercultural
and interreligious dialogue
Given
that EUROMEDCITY is a congregation of euromediterranean cities which aims at
informing and spreading common experiences and examples of good practice.
In a time of
economic, political and social transformations determined by the advancing of a
globalised market, the Fondazione
Laboratorio Mediterraneo enphasises
the identity of mediterranean cities and acts through projects and actions
re-qualifying the urban context and and its liveability. The Euromedcity
network intends to:
·
Constitute a “Charter of Mediterranean Cities”.
·
Create meeting opportunities between operators and researcher of the
phenomena of mediterranean cities within the framework of MEDA programs.
·
Refine instruments of “city interpretation”, of the needs of its
inhabitants through active and participative research instruments, capable of
collecting information relating to the structural (territory-landscape
framework), social (work organisation, employment, migration processes, etc.)
and anthropological-relational aspects (sense of belonging, community feeling,
level of well-being and quality of life, etc.) of cities.
·
Increase exchange of competence communication processes and resources
for good administration.
·
Activate and diffuse instruments and methodologies of active participation,
favouring a self-empowerment process of the citizens, which would allow their
participation to city decision-making.
·
Constitute the Map of European cities linked to the Mediterranean by
water ways (canals, rivers, lagoons).
·
Create methodologies able to recover hydraulic engineering works linked
to port activities and river navigation.
·
Re-evaluate the cultural heritage (artistic, environmental,
architectural and archaeological) of cities in order to promote the cultural
and tourist offer also through the promotion of historic town centres.
·
Improve competencies for the resolution of conflicts in the government
of cities also through the creation of new professions:
a) Training
courses for social operators and/or volunteers from institutions and associations
present in the field to promote development;
b) Organisation of
a conference on themes of potential conflict: protection of coastal areas,
large road infrastructures, solid urban waste, industrial settlements,
airports;
c) Organisation of
a workshop on each aspect with the participation of all actors involved.
·
Running of a Forum involving all the representatives of Euromedcity.
Given that ISOLAMED
is constituted by the principal islands of the Mediterranean, to face and solve
common problems. ISOLAMED poursues the following main objectives:
·
Constitute a “Charter of Mediterranean Islands”.
·
Create meeting opportunities between operators and researcher of the
phenomena of mediterranean islands within the framework of MEDA programs.
·
Refine instruments of “island interpretation”, of the needs of its

by the UNESCO, that has
underlined the importance of the Fondazione
Laboratorio Mediterraneo in the cultural, social and human partnership

countries; 3) by the President
of the Republic of Macedonia, which points out the “irreplaceable

Mediterraneo – mostly accomplished through its branches – in order to
create an Euro-Mediterranean common home”
and to develop constructive
relations between Regions, Cities and Countries and organs of the Civil

the Italian Minister of Foreign Affairs Lamberto Dini which, with a letter
sent on the 31st March 1999
(prot.014/671) to the Minister of University and Scientific Research Zecchino
hoping the granting of a yearly contribution of 5 milliard liras and pointing out: “ the Academy of the
Mediterranean is the highest Institution representing the academic and universitary euro-mediterranean world, with
the adhesion of 63 academies and 168 universities representing most of the
euro-mediterranean countries. The Fondazione
Laboratorio Mediterraneo-onlus is the non-profit organisation that promotes
the Academy, which has among its statutory aims, the strengthening, expansion
and development of the above-mentioned Academy. The relevance and the aims of
the Academy and the interest for our Country in order to maintain in Italy the
fulcrum of the activities, is necessary to ensure to the Academy, through the Fondazione Laboratorio Mediterraneo, an
extra contribution. This contribution could be allocated on the funds for
training and research activities carried out from non-university scientific and
cultural institutions of the regions ‘Objective 1’. This in analogy with what
has already happened for other Institutes of study and research in Southern
Italy, which have been considered worthy of financial support in 1998”; 13) by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Foreign Trade which,
and with the Ministry of Treasury, has worked out the “Guide Lines for the implementation of the politics on cultural and
economical internationalisation of Southern Italy”, where, in measure n.23
is written: “ Strengthening of the Fondazione
Laboratorio Mediterraneo and of the Academy of the Mediterranean, an institution
that in the last years has promoted an intense activity of coordination and
promotion of studies and debates on themes concerning the Mediterranean and
that, now, requests a systematic planning of the activities and a tighter
functional targeting to the deficit in
terms of knowledge and spreading of information, above all in terms of
economical and social themes”; 14)
by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, that in the “Lines of intervention on the links with external areas” identified by
the Table XVII, has selected – assigning to them the numbers indicated in

the Mediterranean (n.29), Euromedcity (n.30), Training of operators of the

Research which, with D.M. 680 of the 26th February 1998 issued on the G.U. n.98 on the
29th April 1998 has assigned
an extra contribution for the running of training and research activities of

recognized the legal status; 17) by
the European Commission which,
recognizing the high value in terms of culture and representation as well as
the organisational ability, has entrusted the coordination of the events programmed in the year 2000 in
the occasion of the commemoration of Re Hussein bin Talal of Jordan; 18) by the European Commission which, through the program Euromed Audio
Visuel, has entrusted the organisation and coordination of the project
Cinemamed.
Those are the reasons why there is an international recognition
which, actually, has identified in the Fondazione
Laboratorio Mediterraneo – and in the organisms created by it: the Academy of the mediterranean, Euromedcity,
Almamed and Isolamed – an
istitution of reference, in terms of legitimaty and represantativeness, in the
sphere of the euromediterranean
partnership.
