Aim
The Association is a not-for-profit organisation whose main purpose is to support the music community of the Mediterranean region. Through various information and communication interfaces between musical artists, promoters and music lovers, a broader audience for the music of the Mediterranean shall be reached, with a secondary goal of fostering greater cultural dialogue and understanding between people who have, historically-speaking, sometimes been culturally at odds.
The Mediterranean
The Mediterranean of antiquity is considered to be the cradle of western civilisation. Splendid cultures were able to shape a cultural diversity that remains extraordinary. According to a study of the World Trade Organisation (WTO) the Mediterranean is the world's largest tourist region. At the inception of the French EU council presidency in June 2008 the foundation of the "Union for the Mediterranean" underlined again politically and culturally the importance of the synopsis of Mediterranean states.
Through a wide co-operation with festivals, cultural and tourist organisations, a broad audience shall be reached, avoiding a niche-like limitation.
