“MEDITERRANEAN AND SEARCH FOR MEANING” was born from an original idea, that of sharing, within a public festival to be held on November 24 in Cagnes-sur-Mer, the riches but also the threats weighing on one of the most remarkable heritages on the planet.
“MEDITERRANEAN AND SEARCH FOR MEANING,” which is being held this Saturday at the Terrazur casino in Cagnes-sur-Mer, aims to be a crossroad in many senses, inviting encounters with men and women, but also with scents and music, reflecting an exceptional heritage that we must preserve for future generations.
At the heart of the unprecedented crises and revolutions faced by the populations around the Mediterranean rim, the environment is ever-present. What role does it really play in the Meaning of History?
Around this major question, experts will come to debate these issues in public. We are 500 million Mediterraneans depending on it.
Let’s not be mistaken, the catastrophic scenario is on many minds. Natural resources are deteriorating, whether it’s water, air, food, biodiversity, or seafood.
How to solve this complex equation: meeting the needs of a growing population amidst unprecedented climate change?
