MEDland Project

MEDland परियोजना का दस्तावेजीकरण और प्रतिभागियों को जोड़ने।

Idea

MEDland Project will explore and present the Mediterranean identity and charisma. It's potential in patterns of survival, creativity and social tolerance will be transmitted to the humanity.

Why?

The Mediterranean connects 3 continents and is the cradle of western civilisation. It embraces ancient civilizations and ever-changing cultures, on the crossroads of both East/West and North/South. It represents fertile ground from which inventive new ideas are drawn. In the recent history (after WWII), the Mediterranean region has been intensly exploited by various non-Mediterranean interests, confirming its actuality and importance. The project will identify, through word and picture, the value of the Mediterranean as expressed by local people.
