What is "babelmed"

Babelmed is a non profit organisation established in Rome in April 2001. Its main objective is to promote cultural exchanges in the Mediterranean and to spread information and ideas regarding this shared sea, particularly important today when prejudices and amalgamations are creating new barriers, both in the North and South.

In 2002, the association launched Babelmed.net. The site aims to be a link between actors, events and cultural production in the Mediterranean and to provide independent information on a wide range of issues. It is run by a central editorial team in Rome and a network of 17 correspondents around the Mediterranean Basin, so it can generate its own contents.

The organisation includes journalism practices.
