Mediterranean Awards
 |
In 1996, the Fondazione Mediterraneo instituted the Mediterranean Awards (with various categories) that are granted every year to eminent personalities from the worlds of arts and culture, politics and science and social disciplines, whose actions have contributed to reducing tensions, breaking down cultural barriers and developing shared values in the Greater Mediterranean.
This Award is considered one of the most prestigious acknowledgements in the world. Various events are associated with the Mediterranean Award, such as the “Euro-Mediterranean Concert for Dialogue Among Cultures” and the “Epiphany Concert” (organized by the Cultural Centre “Oltre il Chiostro” in collaboration with the Fondazione Mediterraneo. The latter event is broadcast by RaiUno and Rai International throughout the world every year on the morning of January 6th).

Born as an issuing of the "Mediterranean Prize", it has the aim of awarding translation, edition, promotion, diffusion and spread of the works, contributing to a better acquaintance with the “other”, considering the variation and the vitality of the literary form of the research and of the contemporary debates on the two shores. This way it will be possible to favour interchanges and open debates to a larger Mediterranean public.
Animated by the will to make possible the dialogue between languages, cultures and thoughts of the two shores, and, more generally, the dialogue about universal values, the Prize has the promotion of the cultural interaction as a fundamental principle.
As a true bridge between the two shores, the prize let the western reader to read reference works of the thought of the northern shore in his own language and makes accessible to the European reader a often unknown side of the Literature and of the contemporary thought of the southern shore, basically the Arabic one.
