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. |

The Pope during his visit to Sardinia has improvised a prayer focused on the job:
“Lord God, look at us, look at this city, this island, view our families, you did not miss the job, you’ve done a carpenter and you were happy. Lord there is no work, idols want our dignity, unjust systems they want to steal our hope, Lord, do not leave us alone, please help us help among us, that we forget a bit of selfishness and feel in our hearts the us, we are a people who want to get ahead. Lord Jesus which did not fail the job give us work and teach us to fight for the job, and bless us all”.
“It’s easy to say do not lose hope, why I tell you: do not steal the hope, which is like the embers under the ashes, let us help blowing together, because the fire is”.
Pope Francis has addressed these words to the workers of companies in crisis. “This - he said - is not optimism, hope we all know, we have to support it all together, it’s ours and yours”. “The lack of work - said the Pope - is not a problem of Sardinia, even if it is strong here, but is the consequence of a world, of an economic system that leads to this tragedy, an economic system that has to center an idol which is called money”.

It took place in Paris on 11 and 12 September the Third Conference of the Union for the Mediterranean on strengthening the role of women in society, which was opened by the co‑chairmen of the UfM, the High Representative Catherine Ashton and Minister of Social Development of the Kingdom of Jordan, Reem Abu Hassan. A welcome was addressed by the owner, the Minister of women’s rights of the French government, Najat Vallaud-Belkacem. All stressed the desire to grasp the Third Ministerial on women as an opportunity to give new impetus to the exercise of the UfM and the overall pass by the “Mediterranean of principles” to the “Mediterranean of projects”. The Paris Conference, in fact, wanted to be a time to relaunch the process of political dialogue and choosing such a sensitive issue such as that of the status of women in the Mediterranean countries , it was definitely a test. Attending this conference will follow other events in Brussels , which will bring together Ministers responsible for Trade Union for the Mediterranean (November 5) for Transport (14 November) and Energy (10 December). Conference participants have all stressed the importance of working together to ensure that women will be recognized fair treatment and protection of their rights. The countries of the northern shore of the Mediterranean, in welcoming the Final Declaration , have focused their interventions on the need to put in place more stringent efforts to transform the principles into concrete actions. At the points of the Final Declaration there are elements that the Mediterranean Foundation , with Vice-President prof. Caterina Arcidiacono , has developed since the inception of the Foundation - 1994 - and re-presented in the Euromed Civil Forum held in Brussels September 3, 2013 on the same subject .
