To celebrate the Mediterranean is to celebrate life in its full amplitude and plenitude

Just like our Mediterranean boasts an unparalleled canvas of world-class cultural heritage sites and a wealth of traditions, it is also a hotspot of biodiversity and geodiversity, and home to a multitude of unique habitats and species. To celebrate the Mediterranean is to celebrate life in its full amplitude and plenitude. This ancient sea around which we live has given the world its greatest civilizations, its earliest academies and universities, its first dramatists and philosophers and its most celebrated trade centres.

To celebrate is to acknowledge and reinvigorate. It is in this spirit that we join hands: not only to rejoice, but also to collaborate, to work together for a Mediterranean future that honors the hopes and ambitions of its people.
