A SPACE FOR PEACE
The Maison de la Méditerranée has
taken a new approach and created a space where, by means of reiterated
dialogue resembling a sort of informal Euro-Mediterranean parliament,
it is possible to reconcile conflicting views and arguments; re-establish
interrupted initiatives; or take new steps towards understanding,
reciprocal respect, peace and shared development. In short, the
Maison has created a deck of cards with which the Euro-Mediterranean
encounter can be decided. This deck of cards is offered to politicians,
diplomats, writers, journalists, bankers, and industrial and commercial
operators. It will enable them (by a re-adaptation of a phrase
by Plato) to avoid remaining like frogs around a lake, and to
overcome contingent intrigues to achieve a higher and broader
vision in an encounter in which every participant can win.
