CASA UNIVERSALE DELLE CULTURE

The Maison de la Paix - Casa Universale delle Culture is a place strongly representative, in which will convey the knowledge of the different identities and cultures, structuring permanently initiatives aimed at the spreading of peace, necessary for the shared development.

The Maison de la Paix - Casa Universale delle Culture (MdP) is a project conceived by Michele Capasso, approved by many Countries and international organizations. It is an architecture that keeps the memory of many Peace activities which created history, often more than the wars, but it is – above all – a space "to build” Peace.

The architectonical complex has an important symbolic worth: it represents the Countries of the World engaged in the Peace process and the Countries victim of the conflicts.

Proposed by the Fondazione Mediterraneo with the Maison des Alliances – together with the main adherent organizations, such as the Mediterranean Parliamentary Assembly, the League of Arab States, the "Anna Lindh" Euro-Mediterranean Foundation and others, the MdP represents a referent point for all the ones who dedicate their lives to peace.

The symbol of the MdP is the "Totem for Peace", an artwork by the Italian sculptor Mario Molinari which the Fondazione Mediterraneo is promoting all around the world, creating the network of the "Cities for Peace".

The first seat of the MdP was inaugurated on the 14th of June 2010 (Maison de la Paix - Casa Universale delle Culture) in the historical building of the Grand Hotel de Londres in Naples.

The action of the Maison de la Paix - Casa Universale delle Culture aims at improving the main activities of the "Universal Forum of Cultures" in: Barcelona (2004), Monterrey (2007), Valparaiso (2010) and Naples (2013).

The Maison de la Paix performs most of the initiatives jointly with the Maison de la Méditerranée.

 

CREA and PONTES associations, along with Fondazione Mediterraneo organized a meeting about the political weight of Tunisians in Italy.
As the association Pontes-Uniurb points out, the vote of Tunisians in Italy  has been analysed by the scholars as the expression of a cross- border idea of citizenship in order to investigate the exercise of the right to vote in the Mediterranean migration context.
For the first time, the vote of Tunisians in Italy has been subjected to an official monitoring, organized by Pontes association and commissioned by the Ministry in charge of Tunisians elections (ISIE).
Joined the initiative the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Co-operation, Euro-Mediterranean University, Fondazione Mediterraneo, Jean Monnet on the Rights of Migrants in the Mediterranean, the Euro-Mediterranean Center for Lifelong Learning of online university Pegaso.
Took the floor the members of Pontes – Uniurb which was in charge of the research.
