Mehdi Azdem, Racines’ general director, participated to the closing meeting of the SouthMedCV program, that was held on April 10th 2018 in Brussels (Belgium) in Bozar. The meeting’s goal was to present the results and impacts of the 38 projects of the program from Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon and Palestine. It was also an opportunity for the organisers to present the publication “Mahattat”, that retraces the dynamics provoked by the 38 projects in the MENA region, between 2015 and 2018.
Racines has benefited from the SouthMedCV program in 2017, in order to produce the publication “Why culture is the solution?” along with the research plateform www.marsad-observatory.org, within the framework of the project MARSAD.
