Foreword

Through this publication, the Joint Managing Authority of the ENPI CBC Mediterranean Sea Basin

Programme would like to provide a practical support to potential beneficiaries and partners for the

identification of proposals that will be submitted under the first call for standard projects.

This tool aims at encouraging the creation of cross-border partnerships, facilitating reciprocal dialogue and

knowledge as well as sustaining projects generation based on the co-ownership principle. It also allows the

Managing Authority and Joint Monitoring Committee to understand the thematic orientations of the eligible

regions.

The first part of this volume contains the project ideas sent to the Joint Managing Authority together with the

registration forms to the Launching Conference. The second part includes the project sheets already

published on the Programme website (www.enpicbcmed.eu). Project ideas are classified by Priority and

Measure.

The high number of received proposals shows the interest of the territories for the Programme. The Joint

Managing Authority hopes that the efforts of all the participants will contribute to the development of projects

able to produce sustainable effects on the territories located along both shores of the Mediterranean.

Disclaimer: project ideas have not been assessed by the Programme managing structures. The Joint

Managing Authority is not responsible for their content and does not guarantee for their eligibility.

5. Description of the project (max 500 characters) In General, youth are neglected in the Palestinien society due to the weakness of developmental planning and guided programs. Youth are not only seen as builders of the future but also as influential social actors in the present. Involving Palestinian youth in policy making and program development is very important for community development. Since youth is not very much engaged in the social and economic development in the community, Juhoud is determined to enhance and encourage youth to have a more active role in their community. First, to improve their livelihood, to be more understandable and aware of what is going on in their community and to take part in the development process. Juhoud will target groups of youth in the marginalized area of Hebron, Nablus, and Ramallah. In these areas youth suffer mostly from problems that could be relieved by implementing projects and programs by the government or non-governmental organizations. Since most of the people in these areas, especially youth, are inactive due to lacking of projects and programs, this project will encourage them to become more active and effective in their communities by participating in project's activities and other social events. To achieve the main goals of Juhoud in context of the Palestinian Reform and Development Plan (PRDP), the project will offer a set of activities for the youth to enhance their skills and to enable them to become more involved in the community affairs. These activities will comprise intensive trainings, counseling and coaching, in addition to establishing 4 business development centers (BDC) that will help the beneficiaries and assist them in elaborating and implementing their own projects.

6. Main objectives – problems to be addressed (max 500 characters) Goals: 1. To contribute towards the creation of employment opportunities by fostering an enterprise culture in Palestine and promoting entrepreneurship and self-employment among youth to become more active and effective in their community.

Creating Leaders: Beit Sahour Youth Empowerment Program

2. Organisation details Name Beit Sahour Municipality Legal status public Type of organisation Local Authority

3. Project title Creating Leaders: Beit Sahour Youth Empowerment Program




This project includes but is not limited to the following activities: • Applied training; • Leadership training; • Vocational and career counseling for high school students; • Micro credit schemes for self employment projects and coaching, accompaniment and in

service training; • Building a resource center in Beit Sahour Municipality, to include:

� a comprehensive database; � a permanent training center, to secure the sustainability of such program; � a resource center, parallel to the training center to keep the files, the database, the

training materials, publications, filed experiences and the networking with other organizations local and internationally;

� a library initially specialized towards the needs of the program but later to become public and all-encompassing.

6. Main objectives – problems to be addressed (max 500 characters)

Currently there are many university graduates unemployed in Beit Sahour. There are different reasons for this "high rate” of unemployment among them: � the lack of job opportunities due to the current economic and political instability; � the poor formal education and the poor life preparation provided mainly by the local universities

to the students in equipping them to compete in the labor market; � the majority of young people join the university not knowing their interests and capabilities and

not knowing the current and future market needs. Consequently, there is a need for the complete review of the educational system and how well much it matches market needs in order for educational institutions to prepare the students for the market. However, until that time, the Beit Sahour Municipality, in cooperation with the local community and

21

social institutions as well as other interested people in the city want to create an empowering program to contribute to providing solutions to help alleviate this problem. This program would build the capacity of the graduates; providing them with the needed skills and information to facilitate their entry to the labor market. By doing this, the program would help reduce the unemployment rate and combat one of the most dangerous phenomenons in our society which is the emigration of the young people. To achieve this aim, we also need to work with the students in the high schools on providing them with the means to examine their interests and capabilities in order for them to choose what they want to study. Therefore, a career counseling program should be implemented in cooperation with the schools in the city. Objective Main Objective This project aims to empower and to build the capacity of Beit Sahour youth to increase socio-economic development and enhancement of the area, as well as the promotion of dialogue and good governance through increased youth engagement and participation to become agents for positive change in society. Specific Objectives

5. Description of the project (max 500 characters) Jordanian-Palestinian-Israeli Center for Applied Agri-Tech Development and Training. The need: The Middle East produces less than half of its food requirements. It is highly dependent on food from abroad. The region’s food import bill in 2005 came to $35 billion. Some of the causes for that are, among others: climate change and lack of water, pathogen threats and ineffective agricultural methods. The Jordan River Valley is a fertile area shared by the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, Israel and the Palestine Authority. Most of the residents of the area rely on agriculture. Some of the growers use advanced farming, while others rely on traditional farming methods. The region suffers from all of the above-mentioned threats, from a negative flow of labor and from the usual demographic problem, in being an outlying area. The JPI Center will have three operational layers: Research Center for Applied Agriculture: with 3-6 resident researchers and with 2-3 visiting researchers. The center will promote solutions for common problems and encourage economic prosperity through advanced technologies in agriculture and clean-tech. A Technology Incubator: A technology incubator aims to create a support infrastructure for early-stage start-up companies. A preliminary study has shown that the Jordan Valley has significant potential for being a leading player in developing high-end technologies and solutions in the field of agri-tech and clean-tech. As a result of the start-ups, more residents will stay in the area and others will be attracted to the region. A Training Center: The Center will create a common ground for: knowledge exchange between farmers and growers in the region, demonstration and training of high-end technology and products in agriculture. Leading companies from Jordan, Israel and PA will train farmers in the use of their technology. Combating pathogen threats in the region. The JPI Agri. Research Center will be: a) Interdisciplinary, broad-based, Regionally competitive, Capable of incorporating short-term, medium-term and long-term project, Technologically innovative, Capable of significant leveraging of funding, A potential for economic impact in the region. b) A platform for research directed at : Improving crop yields in bio-tech and bio-tech stress environments, Non-food crops as a renewable energy source, Genetics & biodiversity, Aquaculture, Water technologies, Training and demonstration of technologies The centre will host visiting researchers and will operate under the academic umbrella of leading academic centers from around the world. We truly believe that establishment of the JPI center will promote better understanding and cooperation

39

within the region, and between communities and peoples regardless of their nationality. 6. Main objectives – problems to be addressed (max 500 characters) We would like to address four major problems: 1) An un-met need in addressing problematic agricultural/clean tech/ environmental issues that are present in the central part of the Jordan River Valley. 2) The lack of cross-border cooperation on the agricultural/community levels between the three countries. 3) The lack of economic incentive for a tri-lateral agricultural research cooperation. 4) The central area of the Jordan River Valley is underdeveloped in almost all aspects, compared to the central regions of Jordan, PA, and Israel.

We will do so by: (1) Establishing a customised research center, based on a regional partnership with a US academic partner, that will engage in the development of agricultural solutions that transcend political borders. (2) There are 3 core partners at the center: Jordan, the Palestinian Authority and Israel, supported by at least 1 regional (European) partner and at least 1 leading American academic institution. The latter partners will provide, besides their academic support, neutral ground that may be utilized at times of heightened conflict, to ensure sustainability. (3) Agricultural solutions will attract investors, hence creating an economic incentive for cross-border cooperation. (4) Innovative income-generating agricultural/clean tech/ environmental solutions would benefit the local farmers and associated population on all sides of the border.

We envisage the research center as acting as a leverage for both economic development and people-to- people cooperation that is sorely lacking in the Middle East. Remarks: 7. Envisaged outcomes (max 500 characters) Measurable improvement of local economic systems in terms of: Crop diversification, increased return on investment to farmers and growers, improvement of agricultural methods and technologies. Measurable improvement of human capital in the region in terms of: attracting new high-skilled and educated residents to the region, improving education and skills of the local farmers and growers. Measurable improvement in the utilization of the natural resources of the region, e.g. water, soils, etc. The Center will be: a key player in the field of clean tech and applied agriculture, a knowledge center for coping with crop disease and pathogens, the harsh climate of the region and lack of water for irrigation. Fostering better understanding and trust between people and communities in the region, regardless of their religion, ethnic origin, nationality and political point of view. 8. Partners already involved (max 400 characters) Purdue University School of Agriculture: a leading institution in the field of agriculture in North America.

5. Description of the project (max 500 characters) The proposal aims to establish a Mediterranean platform of urban stakeholders. Therefore, the establishment of a platform will indeed create the condition for an open dialogue between socio-economic and urban stakeholders and the research community, benefiting cities in policies for social cohesion and socio-economic growth. The platform should not be seen as a means of opposition between "science' and "practice", but as a means towards a further understanding regarding their differences and common goals, and more importantly, a common road of progress. As recognised by the European Commission, cities and metropolitan areas are drivers of economic development. They are also key locations for removing obstacles to growth and jobs –notably social exclusion and environmental degradation. Thus, the importance of the “soft infrastructure” next to the hard infrastructure for regeneration and cohesion. 6. Main objectives – problems to be addressed (max 500 characters) to create a platform to help defining a research agenda and an innovation programme that could assist the social and urban stakeholders to better address the issues of social and economic exclusion (and inclusion) and their consequences at local levels. The Platform is expected to set priorities for Socio-economic research and to contribute to the implementation of adequate policies in the Mediterranean sea basin countries. Establishing a platform is to create an instrument for setting the condition of an open dialogue between "Science" and "Practice" with the purpose of integrating the urban dimensions of social cohesion into the R&D process

The main objective of the project is to establish the existence of a statistical correlation between meteo-marine historical time series data and time series data on fish catches. According to the identified areas, the main problems to face might be the collection of older data on meteo-marine and fishing activities.


A future correlation among the analyzed data might allow for a future development of classification tools to identify fishing areas where fishermen might easily locate their catches.

The project aims at promoting the competitiveness of the Mediterranean building sector especially in the southern countries by the codification of its products and processes. This will be achieved by the use of the Knowledge Acquisition Methodology KADS (Martin, 1994) which is an expert and knowledge based system, able to represent the cognitive process of each building-related job profiles and which has been already tested and developed in several Italian sector and regional contexts. The project will produce a building sector KADS and a bilingual thesaurus able to make easier and more transparent the whole chain and in so doing, facilitating both the Northern Med investment in the Southern countries and the North-South partnerships for the joint participation to European bids. 6. Main objectives – problems to be addressed (max 500 characters)

The building sector is a growing and key one sector for the Med countries especially for the southern ones but it lacks standardised codification of products and processes due to different production process traditions, different technology evolution, the existence of locally embedded specific job profiles mainly craftsman-based. This lack of standard codification especially affects the green building sector impeding its proper and wide development. Bridging this gap by codifying job-profiles, products and processes answers to different but complementary needs on the behalf of: building sectors professionals and workers; components specialised companies; universities and research organisations; training institutions; public stakeholders in charge of planning and monitoring urban development; final users (i.e. citizens wishing to make aware choices for the purchase of building products, technologies and services).

7. Envisaged outcomes (max 500 characters) The project will assure:

• a benchmarking path between Italy, Tunisia and Lebanon involving research centres and key-stakeholders (public and semi-public such as sectoral associations);

• the KADS expert system development, testing and pilot use for the building sector in the targeted areas;

• a bilingual thesaurus; • specialised training activities addressing the key-profiles and the sectoral trainers training; • a devoted web site tailored for the different project’s target groups; • a formalised Italy-Tunisia-Lebanon standardised building sector code; • a targeted capitalisation strategy able to assure long lasting activities and impacts.


• Research centres and Universities from Italy, Tunisia and Lebanon; • Training organisations from Italy, Tunisia and Lebanon; • Professional associations from Italy and Tunisia; • Two private organisations (SMEs) from Italy and Lebanon; • Local authorities from Italy, Tunisia and Lebanon.

Les pays méditerranéens connaissent une augmentation du nombre des femmes dans le marché du travail. Cette croissance s’accentuera à travers l’application de la Déclaration de Barcelone pour l’ouverture de l’espace Euro-Méditerranéen. Prévenir les accidents du travail, les absences pour maladie, améliorer de façon qualitative la vie des femmes (et des hommes, grâce à une désagrégation de la prévention par « genre ») sont des facteurs de grande importance pour le développement socio-économique du bassin Méditerranéen. L’appartenance à une même zone géographique permet de partager une structure physique et pathologique commune. Traiter de ce thème dans le cadre de l’analyse des flux migratoires peut atténuer le problème de la méfiance des populations européennes envers « la différence ».

Project Concept

This project aims to facilitate the preparedness of young people to meet future challenges of industry in all it aspects by forecasting jobs and skills needed in the labor market on the next decade. This means that:

(a) Insights need to be obtained on what will be the professions and vocations of the future;

(b) How are educational systems preparing for those professions and vocations currently;

(c) What should be either added, changed or improved;

(d) Provide guidelines for the educational system on the above-mentioned issue;

(e) Provide training for those professions and vocations through some pilot workshops in order to test those guidelines.

78


One of the most important and complex challenges of the educational system is to train the future generation towards jobs and skills which will be needed in the future labour market through the next decade.

The objective of the proposed project is to facilitate that young people will be well prepared for future industrial challenges.

The current economic climate in general and industrial climate in particular is highly dynamic, if not turbulent. Entire sectors of industry are created, while other sectors become obsolete and disappear. As a result, professional and vocational training programs are being revised and adapted in order to provide relevant education and training for young people to meet the ever-changing challenges and requirements. Hence, reflecting the dynamic nature of the sectors in industry and based upon estimations and assumptions on the nature of the future requirements, professional and vocational courses emerge and disappear. However, incorrect estimations and assumptions may cause that certain sectors will have a (too) large supply, while others may suffer from a shortage. Secondly, not only should be ensured that young people will be prepared for correctly assumed challenges, but also the way that they will be prepared will be relevant for those challenges.


The target of the research and expected results:

• The definition of the future subjects and skills which will be needed in the market (jobs which will disappear and jobs which will be created), the definition of the skills (team work, self teaching, entrepreneurship and creativity, facing unknown situations) which will be needed in the working world in general and in the next decade industry

• Support mobility, exchange and training and professionalism of young people • Joint development of modalities for supporting employment among young people,

including placement in companies for young people • Promoting joint vocational training initiatives as well as joint university and post-

graduate initiatives especially in those economic sectors which constitute the basis for the integration of this particular cooperation area

• Support to people flows among territories as a means of cultural, social and economic enrichment

• Drafting of joint programmers for improving skills qualification and re-qualification of human resources and to increase employment


The Manufacturers’ Association of Israel (MAI) is an independent umbrella organization which represents private, public, government and kibbutz-owned enterprises. A private, non-governmental organization funded by its affiliates, the MAI operates a main office in Tel Aviv, plus regional branches in Jerusalem , Haifa and Beer Sheva offering a well geographical coverage of the country .

MAI is Israel’s largest employers’ organization and its direct and indirect membership of close to 1,200 companies accounts for more than 85% of Israel’s industrial output. Its president is also the chairman of the Federation of the Israeli Economic Organizations (FIEO), a body encompassing 15 different business groups representing all the country’s business sectors. MAI therefore has good contacts with members of the business communities other than industry.

Since its establishment, MAI initiates, promotes and is dynamically involved in all matters concerning international industrial cooperation and trade of Israeli companies with their counterparts abroad specially presentation of industrial cooperation proposals, identification and

79

selection of potential partners worldwide.

International Networking

MAI works closely with the European Commission and its financial institutions, Industrialists’ associations, Chambers of Commerce and Foreign trade offices.

Over the years, MAI has acquired significant and successful experience working in trans-national projects in cooperation with European and non-European organisations. For the last 10 years MAI is an active partner in the EEN/IRC project and as such has accumulated , extensive experience in working trans-nationally in Europe Without any doubt MAI is one of the most experienced organisation in transnational projects and transnational cooperation between clients and SMEs in particular.

Main aim of the Project is to develop a process of introduction of innovative practices in the local productive systems complemented with a research phase including initiatives aimed at developing the entrepreneurial attitude, the training of human resources and their integration in the labour market, paying particular attention to young people and women. Main idea is the establishment of an Exhibitional and Commercial Thematic Park of arts and crafts products. Within the Arts & Crafts Park following structures will be established, in each of the participating countries:

•••• Establishment of 5 enterprises of arts and crafts products •••• Establishment of an Entrepreneurship and Support Centre •••• Establishment of an Environmental & Recreational Centre for Children

The model will be accompanied by:

• Training Programmes under the thematics: Training of the Staff of the Enterpreneurship and Support Centre, Training of unemployed young people or women for undertaking enterpreneurship responsibilities and action in the frame of arts and crafts products,

• Researches - studies on: Establishing and Function of a Thematic Park Business plan for establishing an arts and crafts enterprise Establishing and Function of an Entrepreneurship and Support Centre Establishment and Function of an Environmental & Recreational Centre for Children Mapping in all countries of the arts and crafts producers and enterprises Guidelines of the Model

6. Main objectives – problems to be addressed (max 500 characters) The main problem that the project faces is the deficit policies in local level and the shortage and insufficiency of institutions and policies for the support of unemployed young people (specially young people and women who are threaten by or live under social exclusion), in order to create their own profitable enterprises. As a result of the above mentioned problem is that youth entrepreneurship is very limited and in most of cases not viable and not successful. More analytically the problems that we have detected are the following: A. Problems and barriers in the creation and development of entrepreneurship in local level (problems as they are: shortage of prediction mechanisms of the needs for new enterprises in local level, absence of entrepreneurship support local centres, ineffective policies towards unemployed young persons to establish their own business, not efficient coordination between local-regional-national-transnational organizations which are involved in employment /entrepreneurship matters. B. Ineffectual support to unemployed young people and women to create viable and profitable enterprises (support is absolutely necessary because of high level of young unemployment rate, high percent of young people living under social & labour exclusion, shortage of skilled and flexible vocational training seminars focused on entrepreneurship, diffidence of young people to undertake enterprising actions). We have estimated that all these are common and very complicated problems because they are direct connected to the national economic structures, to the regional cohesion, to the local and national labour market, to the employment and entrepreneurship support policies, to the quantity and quality of the labour force.


In each participating country: - Establishment of 5 enterprises of arts and crafts products - Establishment of an Entrepreneurship and Support Centre - Establishment of an Environmental & Recreational Centre for Children - Training Programmes under the thematics: Training of the Staff of the Enterpreneurship and Support Centre, Training of unemployed young people or women for undertaking enterpreneurship responsibilities and action in the frame of arts and crafts products, - Researches - studies on: Establishing and Function of a Thematic Park Business plan for establishing an arts and crafts enterprise Establishing and Function of an Entrepreneurship and Support Centre Establishment and Function of an Environmental & Recreational Centre for Children Mapping in all countries of the arts and crafts producers and enterprises Guidelines of the Model

1. Promotion of socio-economic development and enhancement of territories 1.1 1.2 1.3

5. Description of the project (max 500 characters) The proposal starts from the need of three neighbouring municipalities with medieval historical centres (Piancastagnaio, Santa Fiora and Castell’Azzara in the area of Monte Amiata, Tuscany, Italy) which based their development and economy on the mining exploitation through the mine of Siele, active from 1850 to 1970 and employing more than 3.000 people. This mine was reclaimed in 2000 and, at present, works are on-going for making a section of it accessible to the tourists. The area in which the mine is located is a wildlife reserve of great importance for the region. The project aims at enhancing the tourism potentialities of this area by differentiating the possible offers in terms of itineraries, activities, accommodation and facilities offered to the tourists. 6. Main objectives – problems to be addressed (max 500 characters) The proposal is addressed to areas with tourism potentialities in terms of cultural and natural resources and heritage but lacking targeted tourism offers and accommodation facilities. The proposal aims at promoting a sustainable tourism based on the enhancement of cultural and natural existing assets as well as on the improvement of the lifestyle and the personalisation of the services offered to the tourists with the coordination of the existing hospitality structures through the realisation of a so-called Albergo Diffuso (“distributed hotel”). With this Italian term, it is intended a new form of hospitality of which the main components are distributed in different buildings, all located in the same village/town. The term “diffuso” (diffuse) denotes a structure that is horizontal, and not vertical like the one pertaining to traditional hotels. This new form of accommodation satisfies the tourists’ demand of contact with residents and local people rather than only with other tourists, and of the traditional comforts offered in hotels, such as room service or a restaurant. This form of hospitality seems to be very efficient for the valorisation of villages thanks to the valorisation of old and dismissed buildings and, at the same time, it avoids the construction of new buildings in historic and natural unspoilt contexts.

7. Envisaged outcomes (max 500 characters) Creation of a new information and reservation centre for the hotel accommodation (integration of the services provided at present by several subjects owning small hospitality structures which are offered in an uncoordinated manner) and for the cultural and natural heritage tourism offers Realisation of a “distributed hotel” in the involved areas Increase of the direct contact of the tourists with the residential population of the territory through the promotion of the “landlord activities” Organisation of alternative tourists itineraries in order to answer to the more and more demanding needs of the Italian and Foreign tourism 8.

The project aims at setting up the main the specific tools that will create the basis for cooperation among different mediterranean partners for a sustainable development of two specific sectors: Tourism and Commerce, based on partners’own natural/ cultural assets. The Mediterranean Basin benefits from a unique natural/cultural heritage, thanks to which many cities and regions are able to create employment. However, cooperation in this field is still underdeveloped, and the tourist/commerce productive chain still lacks institutional homogeneity. This homogeneity has to be understood within the governance and training process, as final products (services) have to be monitored according to each partner’s cultural/ natural heritage. This achieved, Mediterranean basin will be able to provide:

- A more competitive tourist area based on its quality of the productive chain approach; - More and better jobs within the growing tourism and cultural sectors; - Sustainable development based on the cultural (rural and urban – city centres- ) routes; - Strengthened building capacity of the tourist and cultural sectors.


• To achieve mutual competitiveness of partners within tourism/cultural sectors, by the specialisation within the production activity, and the innovation of both the products and production process.

• To create and reorganise the employment sector, promote better and sustainable life conditions of people (in both rural and urban areas) living in the target area.

• To involve key agents in order to strengthen integration strategies of productive chains at Mediterranean level.


• The Project will allow assess and evaluate socio-economic synergies and common strategic proposals within the Mediterranean Basin;

MEDITERRAPOLIS aims to implement an integrative management model especially designed to regenerate communities inhabiting historic districts throughout the Mediterranean Sea Basin under a climate change framework. It tackles issues such as protection, conservation, management, accessibility and interpretation of tangible and intangible heritage resources. Praxis validated tools are transferred among Partners. Locally implemented Pilot Projects deliver the ‘ideal polis’, a best practice application, exceeding in this way the Project’s life span and intervention area.


Historic Districts are commonly recognized as an identity pillar and a major capital for economic regeneration. Still in many cases their value remains unrecognized: while communities suffer a severe cultural discontinuity, obvious in the attitude of younger generations, local authorities often not possess competencies to effectively deal with global challenges. Moreover increasing pressure by climate changes, global warming and desertification disable local mechanisms to deliver sustainable solutions. Required is a complex but flexible nexus to deal with problems at local-global level reconciling national and international strategies and priorities.

5. Description of the project (max 500 characters) The project aims to assess the role in the Mediterranean territories of the informal economy (IE), a mix of diverse activities of production and distribution of goods and services partly or entirely eluding national economic accounting. Traditionally concerning developing countries, the IE is found in developed ones as a form of adaptation to post-fordist market. Its greater flexibility and lower labour costs allow firms competitiveness, but its unconcern for long-term development strategies often hampers territories to match economic growth with cohesion and equity objectives 6. Main objectives – problems to be addressed (max 500 characters) Territories in both shores of the Mediterranean are characterized by high levels of IE, differentiated according to specific features of their socio-economic context. Main objectives of the research: • to compare differences and similarities of IE systems in the Mediterranean basin in relation with

features of social context, labour market and economic performance in considered areas; • to evaluate measures adopted by local authorities and firms to incentive the emersion of the IE; • to define policy recommendations for integrated measures aiming to incentive the emersion of

IE 7. Envisaged outcomes (max 500 characters) • an increase of updated knowledge on IE; • the definition of a wider perspective on IE in the Mediterranean, through the exchange of

experiences and research results with the partners; • the identification, at the level of national, regional and local authorities, of integrated measures

promoting the emersion of IE leading – in the long term - to match economic growth with cohesion, equity and sustainability and the upgrading of local economies as well as the

139

Mediterranean basin; • the establishment of a territorial network, that could allow partners to cooperate in other

research fields 8. Partners already involved (max 400 characters) The partnership would be based on well-established cooperation of the DRES with the following research centres, all located in the Northern shore of the Mediterranean: • Department of Analysis of Political, Social and Institutional Processes, University of Catania (I) • Department of Sociology, University of Naples (I) • Institut TELECOM/TELECOM, ParisTech (FR), Département de Sciences Economiques et

1. Promotion of socio-economic development and enhancement of territories 1.1 1.2 1.3


Within the context of the RePlaN, a project implemented (RFO Progresdec, INTERREG III C South), has evolved the necessity to create a common understanding in measuring and monitoring the territorial indicators. Subsequently, the networking of different territorial information systems across the Mediterranean regions necessitates common methodological tools. These tools will be generated by creating a common Regional Spatial Indicators System (RSIS). This system, in turn, will facilitate the elaboration of an innovative planning instrument that will assist the regional and national authorities. The assistance of the planning instrument will provide the authorities with the possibility to evaluate the implementation of their policies against their development plans as well as against the strategic axes of a general territorial development plan. The sustainability of both the common RSIS and the innovative planning instrument will be achieved by the networking the “Territorial Observatories”.


The project’s main aim is the relevance of territorial information acting as a usefull tool that will assess the territorial impact of policies. The guiding principles in implementing REGIO-SIS will involve:

1. Balanced competitiveness and polycentric development 2. Respecting the environment and protecting natural resources 3. Equal access to knowledge 4. Intelligent management of cultural heritage and nature

The RSIS serves to support the above principles and aims to establish a territorial diagnosis described by a series of synthetic indicators that allow us to understand not only where we stand at the present time but also compare ourselves to the rest of the regions at the national, and

143

international level. Also, RSIS will facilitate the pre-assessment process towards the future and will attempt to bring citizens closer to the process of planning.


The envisaged project’s outcomes are: a) a common Regional Spatial Indicators System (RSIS) for the regions of the partners involved; b) an innovative planning instrument for the regional and local authorities directed to promote sustainable territorial development, and c) a network of “Territorial Observatories” in project partners’ regions in order to evaluate the implementation of the territorial policies.

The project aims at the sustainable territorial planning integrating its different levels, the diagnosis and evaluation of the environmental situation, prospective reflection, the transfer of expertise and good practices, the joint development of procedures and guidelines in order to respond to the common challenges and ensure the strengthening of the basis for cohesion and competitiveness. We understand that the design of a development of a strategy has to be holistic, the planning of public services at local level and the sustainable development have to integrate elements from all scopes of development. To this end we propose the transfer of good practices in fields such as social welfare; education, training and employment, as well as the promotion of sustainable economic activities in rural areas and territorial strategies that safeguard natural spaces. The solution or solutions can relate to adding value to cultural and archaeological heritage; creation or improvement of social services infrastructure; decreasing of absenteeism from school; training of young people; incorporation of women to the labour market by means of the promotion of services for the conciliation of family and work life or by means of training of women; the effective management of waste; adding value to endogenous resources; diversification of labour market; effective local management (governance, tax balance, services for citizens, profitability of resources, etc.); intensification of commerce (business opportunities, availability of new technologies, entrepreneurial management methods, access to markets, etc.), ...


1) Building up a network of rural cities for joint work and learning where we are able to find solutions and design a local development strategy in rural cities taking into account the needs of each territory and working for the profitability of resources and testing solutions. 2). Investment addressed to avoid depopulation of Mediterranean rural towns and cities. 3) Creating synergies and complementarity with regional and national strategies.

5. Description of the project (max 500 characters) All regions represented in this project feel the need to create new economic drivers or to upgrade and modernise existing economic activities for their local/regional communities in a more sustainable way making a better use of their strengths and opportunities which are strongly connected to tourism. The demography of the regions is changing because of a lack of employment opportunities. The economic crises has sometimes led to a lost of hundreds of jobs in various business sectors. The creating of new promising jobs for these societies is essential to stop the economic decline and the exodus of mainly younger people searching for jobs. All partners feel that stimulating and boosting new sustainable type of tourism will be an important challenge for their socio/economic future. All regions in this project are having a typical outstanding nature and are sometimes located not far from smaller or bigger tourist centres from which they do not benefit properly 6. Main objectives – problems to be addressed (max 500 characters)

General objectives The general objective aim of the project is to prepare, develop and promote tourist destinations in the MED area where a careful and respectful management of the environment and nature is considered as a true asset and a unique selling point contributing to economic growth pursued in such a way as to ensure the social, cultural and environmental sustainability of tourism (Eco Tourism). The two sub objectives are:

• Simulate the development of “green” eco friendly tourism businesses development /entrepreneurship based on a) giving support on how to develop services and leisure packages that are respecting nature and environment b) the development of recommendations and tools on how to upgrade tourism accommodations and attractions which are eco friendly (e.g. energy neutral) and the stimulation of new local small scale tourism connected economic activities like food/wine production and local crafts which contribute to the goal of consciousness of the environment.

• Develop a sound and structured sales campaign by branding and promoting the involved regions in the MED area as perfect high quality regions for eco tourism. This brand will be

151

supported by the development of a Regional Quality Label ECO Tourism in the MED area for which jointly criteria will be developed based on to which extend a region has developed an integrated approach towards implementation of the highest standards of eco friendliness of services, leisure activities, leisure attractions, accommodations, food production and other supporting economic and cultural activities. This label will be widely promoted and serve as a guarantee for visitors that they are visiting an eco friendly destination developed in accordance with pre defined and well communicated standards and concepts, using accommodations and facilities which are energy neutral and promoting and supporting leisure activities which are not damaging the environment and nature.


jointly analyse the respective sectors and identify the opportunities and specific strengths of each region, using existing studies results as much as possible;

�� jointly identify new or less developed but challenging environmental friendly tourism products, tools and instruments to introduce or expand in their region and jointly develop an Eco Tourism Development Master Plan.

�� raise local/regional awareness of the opportunities and develop Local ECO Tourism Action Plans based on the jointly developed Master Plan to give active support on the implementation of identified products and tools. This will be done by the regional/local Eco Tourism Clusters to be set up in each partner region. These clusters are meant to create a continuous cross fertilisation of ideas and actions between relevant stakeholders to ensure implementations and links between theory and practice. The Clusters are composed of representatives of the public sector, entrepreneurs or organisations representing them and knowledge providers.

�� develop a few small scale demo pilots in selected partner regions which will be used to test the validity of jointly selected tools and instruments with the focus on transferability to other partner regions.

�� Jointly develop training modules and actually implement training programmes for local authorities and entrepreneurs in the sector to facilitate the implementation of tools and recommendations. The results of the previously mentioned demo pilots will be included in the modules.

�� jointly develop a brand and branding strategy (the MED Route of Eco Tourism) and a marketing and promotion plan to sell this brand but also to highlight the specific strengths and features of each individual regions. Each region makes however publicity for the others showing that they are part of the MED Route of Eco Tourism.

�� Part of the branding strategy and in order to create liability and visibility a quality label for regions will be designed (supported by a MED Eco Tourism Cluster Agency). This Agency will be set up at the end of the project and will be the remainder of the METOC project. After the closure of the project it will be responsible for the further implementation and promotion of the Quality Label. The Agency is also responsible to promote networking between awarded destinations which could persuade other destinations in the MED territory to adopt sustainable tourism development mode. In this way a MED Route of Eco Tourism Destinations will be promoted.

5. Description of the project (max 500 characters) The core idea of AEOLUS is to promote local sustainable development through the use of money earned by the alternative energies production. Particularly, this money can be used for the regeneration of the ancient part of villages in areas such as those identified by the project activities. In so doing, the villages will be revitalised not only from an aesthetic point of view but also from an economical and social prospective. The regenerated old city centre will become a “widespread hotel”, an innovative model of hospitality able to activate new economic activities linked to tourism. 6. Main objectives – problems to be addressed (max 500 characters) The general aim of the AEOLUS project is validate a new method of supporting local economy using alternative energies and new form of governance. The specific aims are: 1) To promote a development for an area compatible with the environment, and the expectations of local people (including the demand to create new jobs and new economic opportunities in a social and economic disadvantage context); 2) To create the necessary conditions to implement a local action plan for renewable energy, identifying the administrative, social and economic tools and legislative conditions to facilitate their diffusion; 3) To promote private and local public investment for the production in the area of renewable energy. 7. Envisaged outcomes (max 500 characters) AEOLUS by involving and sharing the project tasks with all local actors will orchestrate the project idea with local communities. Furthermore, through the definition of the Renewable Energies Sources (RES) potentialities in the target areas selected it will contextualise the businesses into a territorial perspective. By identifying and evaluating businesses opportunities for the promotion of innovative projects it will test the “Borghi di Eolo” – wind villages - as new local development opportunity. Analysing financial sources for the investments implementation the project will highlight new financial perspectives supporting new activities (ethical finance; micro-credits and so on so far). Finally, by settling down rules summary of process and administrative procedures the

5. Description du projet (max 500 caractères) "Corridor Méridien" (CM) est la dénomination donnée par le Ministère des Infrastructures et des Transports (MIT) au segment Suez-Gibraltar des routes commerciales intercontinentales qui traversent la Méditerranée. La matérialisation progressive de la ligne virtuelle unissant les ports méditerranéens de transhipment (existant, en cours de réalisation ou programmés sur les deux rivages du bassin), va accomplir le dessin stratégique des Autoroutes de la Mer (AdM), comme il est prévu par le Programme TEN-T et le HLG de la Commission Européenne. Le CM a été l'objet d'une étude de faisabilité du MIT (2007) et certaines aspects (concernant les impacts territoriaux des AdM) ont été approfondis par le Projet Interreg IIIb MoS.Med.I.A

6. Objectifs principaux – problèmes à traiter (max 500 caractères) Objectif du projet est la création d'un club des ports méditerranéens de transhipment et l'élaboration de stratégies partagées de rapport avec les secteurs productifs port related, aussi bien que avec les organismes régionaux, nationaux et communautaires qui orientent, supportent ou règlent le développement de ces mêmes secteurs. La communication représente pourtant un autre aspect clé du projet 7. Résultats attendus (max 500 caractères) Le CM – si raccordé aux stratégies territoriales régionales, nationales et communautaires – peut devenir un facteur formidable de développement pour les économies des régions européennes méridionales (surtout celles insérées dans l'objectif convergence) aussi bien que pour la rationalisation du transport des marchandises. A ce but il est toutefois nécessaire la collaboration – plutôt que la concurrence – entre les ports de transhipment, en matière pas seulement de douanes et tarifs, mais aussi de rapports avec le tissu économique environnant (districts agricoles et industriels, zones franches, aires urbaines commerciales, secteurs économiques avancés, comme la logistique et l'ITS). La limite principale que ces ports souffrent est en effet due à l'isolement de l'arrière pays

Flexibility and socio-economic development. The role of the informal economy in the socio-economic and territorial development of the Mediterranean Sea Basin countries.



1.2 1.3 X


The project aims to assess the role in the Mediterranean territories of the informal economy (IE), a mix of diverse activities of production and distribution of goods and services partly or entirely eluding national economic accounting. Traditionally concerning developing countries, the IE is found in developed ones as a form of adaptation to post-fordist market. Its greater flexibility and lower labour costs allow firms competitiveness, but its unconcern for long-term development strategies often hampers territories to match economic growth with cohesion and equity objectives 6. Main objectives – problems to be addressed (max 500 characters) Territories in both shores of the Mediterranean are characterized by high levels of IE, differentiated according to specific features of their socio-economic context. Main objectives of the research:

1. to compare differences and similarities of IE systems in the Mediterranean basin in relation with features of social context, labour market and economic performance in considered areas;

2. to evaluate measures adopted by local authorities and firms to incentive the emersion of the IE;

3. to define policy recommendations for integrated measures aiming to incentive the emersion of IE

7. Envisaged outcomes (max 500 characters) 1. an increase of updated knowledge on IE; 2. the definition of a wider perspective on IE in the Mediterranean, through the exchange of

experiences and research results with the partners; 3. the identification, at the level of national, regional and local authorities, of integrated measures

promoting the emersion of IE leading – in the long term - to match economic growth with

169

cohesion, equity and sustainability and the upgrading of local economies as well as the Mediterranean basin;

4. the establishment of a territorial network, that could allow partners to cooperate in other research fields


The partnership would be based on well-established cooperation of the DRES with the following research centres, all located in the Northern shore of the Mediterranean: 1. Department of Analysis of Political, Social and Institutional Processes, University of Catania (I) 2. Department of Sociology, University of Naples (I) 3.

5. Description of the project (max 500 characters) Together with a general raising of water temperature, overexploitation of vulnerable species and sensitive areas through unsustainable fishing, the destruction of natural habitat, as well as growing pollution of eco-systems (marine eco-systems in particular), intensify the effects of climate change. The project deals with the need to increase the resilience of marine ecosystems to climate change. This objective is fundamental for the preservation of Mediterranean natural heritage and the economic value of products and services (fishery, transports, tourism, culture, quality of life) related to marine ecosystems. The project mainly aims at reducing this vulnerability through specific actions for the protection and preservation of Mediterranean ecosystems.

6. Main objectives – problems to be addressed (max 500 characters) Effective measures for the mitigation of climate change effects call for a joint monitoring system of marine ecosystems in the Mediterranean as a basis to elaborate risk and strategic development scenarios by means of a decision support system. The project aims at developing a joint methodology for monitoring some medium and long term key indicators which are related to:

• ecological state of marine ecosystems sensitive to climate change; • human pressure and its impact on target ecosystems; • economic value of marine ecosystems, in terms of products and services;

These indicators are fundamental to adapt and make the most of regional policies for the integrated management of Marine Protected Areas in the Mediterranean, as the protection of natural resources is a key element of policies for the mitigation of climate change effects.

7. Envisaged outcomes (max 500 characters) The bodies in charge of monitoring and planning activities in marine protected areas will be provided with:

•••• indicator system assessing the ecological condition of marine ecosystems; •••• indicator system assessing the human impact on marine ecosystems;

173

•••• Risk and strategic development scenarios; •••• Maps on excellence cases in integrated management of marine protected areas

An efficient process for a systematic collection and management of reliable information is absolutely useful for the preservation of sensitive marine habitats through strategies aiming at reducing the impact of climate change. Indicator systems and risk scenarios will become operational through the development of a joint informatics platform collecting data for monitoring marine ecosystems in the Mediterranean area, which will be available for public and private actors involved in the cooperation process.


9. Partners still searched (max 250 characters) The partnership focuses on the needs/capacities to get/offer a real added value to the project.

2.2

5. Description of the project (max 500 characters) The project will develop a cooperative net to share and transfer the technology currently available for conducting a more efficient and sustainable use of water in the agriculture ecosystems of the Mediterranean basin. An initial survey will be carried out to gain knowledge on the water management practices and methods currently applied on each region and water policy situation. This information will be used to determine the technology that could be better transferred to each location according to each user needs, constraints and water availability. Demonstration platforms will be developed in order to disseminate between the potential users the possibilities of the different water management tools such as:

• Remote sensing techniques for large-scale estimation and management of water needs. • Precise irrigation scheduling techniques based on the monitoring soil and plant water status. • Regulated deficit irrigation strategies to improve the water use efficiency. • The use of recycled water for optimising the water cycle.

6. Main objectives – problems to be addressed (max 500 characters) Fresh water is a very scarce natural resource in the Mediterranean area and its use and distribution is often reason of geo-political conflicts between regions within the same state or between states in a given country. This is mostly because fresh water resources are often shared between regions. In addition, fresh water is used by multiple economical activities. The irrigated agricultural lands are the major water consumers but, at the same time, they often provide for the lowest economical return. This means that under water scarcity, from an economic point of view, most of the water in the future might be allocated away from the agricultural ecosystems increasing the risk of desertification and rural areas abandonment. The objective is then is to transfer to fresh water users of agricultural lands tools that will promote a more efficient and environmentally sound use of water in the Mediterranean ecosystem. Indeed this will promote a more cooperative and efficient fresh water use policy that could allow for a solution for the current water conflicts.

175

7. Envisaged outcomes (max 500 characters) The main outcome of the project will be the development of multi-country cooperative technology transfer net. It will share technology among all partners allowing for a faster and more efficient way of communicating results and technologies. The project will release to the water authorities precise estimation of the water requirements for entire irrigations district. Comparisons of the irrigation requirements with the water availability will define the predicted working scenario. In case of water scarcity possible solutions will be suggested including the possibility of reducing water application by using deficit irrigation strategies and/or using recycled water. These solutions will indeed take into account the technical and economic situation of each user deriving from an initial water management survey to be implemented.

The main issue to be addressed is agricultural impacts which include pesticides, primary and secondary poisoning, controlling bird pests (crop damage), land-use practices (land management, open-space, native habitats) and use of eco-tourism to promote sustainability. The idea is that each participating country will define specific regions and/or sites critical for migrating birds in which to focus their activities. The activities can be divided into 3 categories: Programmes, Policy and Capacity Building.

6. Main objectives – problems to be addressed (max 500 characters) To protect birds at migration bottleneck sites and assess various environmental threats (unique to each site) by:

• Developing awareness programmes for educators, students and decision makers. Will include special local events and workshops.

• Influencing government policy: Publishing research documents, working with legal advisers to develop new policies and risk assessment, holding professional conferences, and creating a national, multi-disciplinary steering committee to implement/enforce/ educate about specific impacts on birds and wildlife.

• Capcity-building activities: Train employees about EU legislation dealing with these issues (Birds Directive, Birds and Habitat, Agriculture and the Environment), training workshops with all participants and outside professionals, and specific workshops dealing with bird tourism.

There will also be a Symposium during the last year at each country’s main site which will serve to highlight the overall project.

7. Envisaged outcomes (max 500 characters) - Increased local community awareness regarding bird migration in bottleneck areas and need for

Most of the agriculture waste is now burnt, especially rice straw. The huge burnings cause smoke over the whole area including greater Cairo. There are true needs for collection and transportation equipment to help farmers removing agricultural waste from their fields and plants to expand use of this waste in commercial products. Whereas Egypt recognizes that environmental problems are of cross-border nature and require international cooperation, through both bilateral and multilateral conventions and that cooperation between various environmental authorities can be of mutual benefit at the national, regional and global level. Sharkia Governorate suggests this project to solve this environmental problem.


To ensure satisfactory and safe treatment of agricultural waste, specially Rice Straw by expanding their use in the production of commercial products in order to solve the environmental problem and to maximize socio-economic profitability and support economic growth


Reduced pollution level and the health costs that go with it; More employment opportunities; Higher economic growth rate; Better living conditions for the population of areas interested; Poverty reduction; Minimized illegal migrant outflows from Egypt to some EU and the human tragedies that take place in the Mediterranean as a result of attempts at entering the EU illegally; and Enhanced credibility of the governorate.

5. Description of the project (max 500 characters) Jordan is facing sever shortage of water and dangerous pressure on it's water resources, this pressure is due to many factors such as increase in population natural growth and sudden immigration from neighboring countries due to unstable political situation. Unsustainable economical development processes in various sectors that demand fresh water resources and such shortage is also caused by natural factors such as sudden and unexpected climate change and fluctuation in precipitation from year to year. Such sever shortage set uncertain challenges on the government and people and urges them and the country to face the problem and try to find solutions that deals with the route causes of water shortage and its usage such as recycling of water and its reuse. One of the satirical solutions is to use un-convent ional water as grey water and water harvesting; the reuse of grey water in Jordan can reduce unsustainable freshwater consumption and water shortage. Grey water in Jordan is mainly the output from bath tubs, showers, sinks, floor drains, car washes and ablution, such grey water is not highly contaminated and therefore could be used for irrigation with specific treatment or reused for toilet flushing in Public Buildings. The current project concept is to reuse the grey water generated by public services and buildings in secondary usage such as irrigation of municipal gardens and public parks. The project will start with grey water generated from Mosques and Churches and other religious places such as the Baptism site located at the Jordan River. This concept idea could be promoted to other areas in the basin such as Palestine, Lebanon, Syria, Cyprus, Malta, Greece (islands) and other Med Countries. Jordan Aqua Conservation Society is the main proponent and will be the leading agency in management of the project

5. Description of the project (max 500 characters) The rational management of water requires an innovative approach, oriented to rectify the current imbalance between demand and availability and competition in the use of water resources by the different sectors. Every action in the field of water management should be aimed at saving water. It is essential, therefore, face two problems: (i) the use of non-conventional water resources in ways that do not involve risks to consumer health and the conservation of soil, (ii) the practices of conservation of water resources. The project intends to take as a premise of that method risks and saving policies can be analyzed (and thus managed) more effectively within specific contexts and historical-cultural and as tools for risk analysis – both for the study of ways of sharing policies aimed at conservation of resources – the concepts of perception, representation and social inclusion project.

6. Main objectives – problems to be addressed (max 500 characters) The proposal intends to address issues of concern for all regions of the Mediterranean basin. It has as objectives:

• identify operational solutions reliable, able to ensure adequate and constant availability of water for different sectors (agricultural, civil, industrial and receptive);

• propose the application of innovative methodologies, to significantly improve the quantity and quality of water for different uses, affordable;

• improve the efficiency of public expenditure; • reach, through inclusion of appropriate technical design, solutions, actions and behaviors

are shared with local people in the field of water management aimed at saving water, especially in environmental risk of desertification.

3. Project title Agronomic rehabilitation and land reuse of slightly polluted marine sediments



5. Description of the project (max 500 characters) The proposed project promotes an innovative approach to decontaminate slightly polluted marine dredging sediments using plants, earthworms and special agronomic amendments to adapt them to the terrestrial environment and to recycle them into environmental restoration, arable land and other other similar uses. A meso-scale experimentation has already been carried out for several years using the sediments dredged from the Port of Livorno (Italy) and from the port of Kishon (Israel). The earlier experimentation has given positive results obtaining the reduction of the slight contamination from heavy metals and petroleum hydrocarbon under the law standard in force in Italy and in the EU, and reducing the salinity of the marine sediments so as to allow their use as an arable land. A previously developed cost-benefits analysis has also demonstrated that this technology is particularly competitive with all the currently available decontamination technologies for the specific issue. Also, the technology has demonstrated to be effective also with particularly difficult to treat sediments, such as sediments with very high silt-lime ratio and high initial salinity. The present project aims at expanding the results of this experimentation and at enhancing the process for treating and reusing the dredging contaminated spoil into usable materials for agricultural and other similar purposes. The partnership could includes potential direct beneficiaries (and purchasers) of the project’s results, such as Port Authorities and Port Management companies that will reduce costs in the disposal of polluted sediments, engineering and consulting companies involved in the business of remediation of polluted soils and sediments, research centers involved in the research and development of innovative remediation technologies. The project will investigate the types of crops and/or plants that are most adequate for reconditioning dredging sediments and the economic benefits for both port authorities and the potential users of the recycled material.

233

6. Main objectives – problems to be addressed (max 500 characters) To develop the use of an innovative technology to recover dredging sediments using plants (phyto-treatment), earthworms and agricultural amendments To promote the application and to create a market for this innovative reconditioning system in Europe and in the Mediterranean Region, using the recycled material for: 1) Enhancing landscape outside port areas, providing garden centres with arable land derived from the proposed innovative recycling processes. 2) Enhancing ports’ landscape by planting confined sites, hence providing for a protective barrier against the transfer of contaminants outside these sites. This solution may be considered as an “ex-situ on site” recovery of the dredging sediments. 3) Other agricultural applications. 4) Rehabilitation of degraded areas (mines, pits, etc.). 5) Final capping of landfills. 6) The used plants could be finally commercialized in the green market or used as source of renewable energy by incineration or pyrolysis.

7. Envisaged outcomes (max 500 characters) 1) operative setup of an agronomic decontamination process of slightly polluted dredged sediments 2) identification of further crops and plants that are suitable for reconditioning dredging sediment with specific properties; 2) economic benefits of the decontamination technology are already demonstrated in previous studies; 3) promotion of a market uptake by European and Mediterranean port authorities in Europe and in the Mediterranean region and utilisation of the recycled material by companies active in the agricultural, landscaping and environmental restoration sectors.

Sustainable water system management under resources scarcity at a basin scale: Characterizing technical aspects and developing methodologies and applications in the Mediterranean Area"



5. Description of the project (max 500 characters) The project aims to develop and apply tools integrating hydro and socio-economic critical analysis in a Decision Support System (DSS) specifically addressed to water resources systems. The project will be harmonized with context of the European Water Framework Directive (WFD). The main challenge of the Project is the definition of a coherent and generalized set of guidelines, good-practices to achieve a sustainable water systems management in Mediterranean areas under climate changes facing the water scarcity and the declining quality problems. The exchange of information and expertise between involved partners will be fundamental for a common outcome worthy to represent an example in Mediterranean area for the application of DSS according to WFD principles. A relevant aspect will be the promotion of participatory processes with stakeholders. Stakeholders will contribute to upgrade existing DSS tools with the implementation of hydro and social-economic models under a friendly interface. It is also expected that water authorities and stakeholders will contribute to DSS applications for the selected water systems.

6. Main objectives – problems to be addressed (max 500 characters) The Project will provide water authorities, research partners and stakeholders acquiring with technical confidence in modelling tools and DSSs, facilitating the development of management strategies in future negotiations. The Project will be organized in streams regarding different, but interconnected, aspects: 1. Climate analysis for droughts prevision and management; 2. On site and remote sensing monitoring for lands and water bodies characterization; 3. Developing DSSs for optimizing water system planning and management under droughts 4. Participatory approach for emergency response to water scarcity; 5. Sustainable use and quality aspects in optimizing water systems.

243

Through these actions the project aims to promote environmental sustainability and risk reduction related to water scarcities in the Mediterranean area, also considering climate change and quality aspects of water resources.

7. Envisaged outcomes (max 500 characters) The Project is intended to be a guidance implementing an efficient use of Integrated Water Resource Management (IWRM) approaches in methodological aspects for research partners and in practical terms for water authorities participating in the project. The management of complex water systems particularly needs the resolution of conflicts considering stakeholders negotiations and balancing the users’ requirement and the necessity of preserving or restoring ecosystems. The DSS tools are partially already developed by the partners under previous European projects. The will be combined with economic models and applied in public participation processes. The integrated tools will contribute to define a common framework for complex system management in accordance with WFD principles

2.2

5. Description of the project (max 500 characters) Man made structures and activities are consuming growing sections of water fronts and shallow waters, leading to habitat loss coupled with stocks and diversity decline. Using Ecological Reconciliation approach we will develop ways to turn these occupied coastal areas back into functioning parts on the natural ecosystem. We will use a dual biological- engineering approach along with field testing to modify existing structures and human interventions, re think future ones, and protect fragile marine habitats.

6. Main objectives – problems to be addressed (max 500 characters) Growing sections of beaches and shallow waters are taken by man made structures such as wave breakers, docks, harbors, etc. or over run by activities such as trawling and other means of fishing. These leads to loss of habitats, of biological diversity, and destruction of marine and costal ecosystems. By developing and implementing the use of biological active structures we aim to: 1) mitigate species loss 2) monitor/control the spread of invasive/nuisance species 3) enhance local marine diversity and stocks 4) improve fishery resources 5) improve water quality.


We will develop and deploy passive means that will modify such human interventions into fish nursery grounds and active sections of the marine ecology. We will also, examine, test and produce shore line and reef units imitating the physical and biological settings or natural reefs, that can later be used to construct man made biologically active artificial marine structures. Such units/reefs will be introduced into/replacing existing man made structures including wave breakers and docks, and blocking trawling and other damage onto areas needing protection.

The assessment of “economics impacts” in the implementation and enforcement of measures to achieve environmental objectives include social and production concerns mostly relevant for the national water policy and a transparent and shared knowledge of those effects should be reached involving the public and the stakeholders: economic activities and public participation are strictly linked issues. To support the WFD implementation processes in place at regional districts a main tool is the inter-exchange of experiences, gaps, knowledge, techniques, models and best practices among different institutional subjects involved. To promote the interregional exchanges and enforce a real involvement of stakeholders, the information exchange and sharing (information exchange platform) and best practices critical comparisons (technical meetings, workshops and study visits), seem the proper tools to facilitate expert skills updating and strenghtening/enhancing capacity building a regional level for the endorsement of Community legislation.

The basic approach in Project development will be:

- sharing a common basis of knowledge, best practices, models and organisation tools facing the main issues and critical challenges related to the implementation of economic analysis supporting a River Basin District Water Management Plan including Program of measures and Control and Monitoring activities;

- identify the main elements to account for in the economic analysis of water use and services in the main sectors of man activity and fulfilling the principles required by WFD;

254

- perform a comparative analysis of results and shortages met at territorial level in the WFD implementation relate to economic aspects;

- define best approaches as methods, models, organisation schemes and guide lines;

- promote diffusion/dissemination (also in web space) of selected issues;

- promote public participation and stakeholders involvement.


The project is targeted to develop the capacity of the water management authorities involved, both at central and district level, in the use of best tools for the application of economic principles (cost recovery analysis, cost-effectiveness and cost-benefit analysis and of the most suitable economic instruments) to achieve the environmental objectives of the EU. Sharing of best practices will facilitate the adoption of more appropriate economic instruments to implement the appropriate water pricing policies and to improve the level knowledge of the water administration in order to fulfil all obligations of the WFD. This project will finalize the process of preparation of all water management authorities for the development and implementation of River Basin Management Plans, the main tool to achieve the environmental objectives in a more effective manner. It is apparent from the above remarks, that the correct implementation of the WFD requires well functioning local environmental offices at regional and district level and particularly a well functioning coordination among these offices and between the regional and district offices and central authorities. Main activities of the Project will be: Component 1. the identification of the main economic elements in planning, decision, financing, water pricing of water service infrastructure (waste water and water supply infrastructure). Component 2. the identification of practical economic tools and approaches to be tested and transferred on the River basins. Component 3. the recommendation to develop a preliminary programs of basic measures to overcome the lack of experience and knowledge in the identification of cost effective measures and combination of measures /art.11 and Annex III of EU-WFD/ Component 4. Identification of the supplementary measures to the basic ones in order to meet the environmental objectives established Component 5. the sharing of a common information exchange platform within partnership subjects and stakeholders


The expected results of the Component are: 1. Assessment of administrative capacity/best practices of water management regional/district authorities for the implementation of economic instruments in water policy. 2. Main approaches to establish and to control the economic impact of Programs of measures (art.11 of WFD) in planning, decision making, financing and water services pricing. 3. Elaborate guideline and/or instructions on the use of economic instruments, methods and tools supporting the preparation of RBMP in selected river basin areas. The expected outputs will be 1. A comparative report on regional administrative capacities in economic analysis along the whole water cycle 2. A guidance for the selection and building up of economic elements to assess costs , impacts and benefits in water uses. 3. A data, information, models platform exchange website supporting result diffusion and capitalization 4.Selection of most effective approaches to implement economic principles supporting the

255

RBDMP implementations. 5. Operational packages to prepare/perform public participation events 6. The final output will be training seminars and Study Visits for water management staff experience improvement.

Israel can thus serve as a model for the transfer of European climate change expertise and approaches to developing communities. This project will take advantage of this, building innovative climate protection demonstration sites, through a triple-dissemination program: European cities will disseminate know-how to stronger Israeli cities, which will then adapt and further develop the tools in collaboration with lower socio-economic communities. The breadth of the network established by the partners' Local Sustainability Center (supported by EC–Life) over the last few years includes communities from the entire spectrum of Israeli society – rich, poor, Arab, Jewish, secular, religious, urban and rural, central and periphery which will then work in collaboration with other Mediterranean areas – and thus provide an ideal basis for this kind of implementation

6. Main objectives – problems to be addressed (max 500 characters) General: The overall objective is to effectively reduce GHG emissions and air pollutants of cities and towns in Israel, by introducing strategic action plans, and supporting structures to the municipalities and knowledge transfer between European, Israeli and Mediterranean basin cities. Specific

• Develop Climate Action plans and targets in Israeli and Mediterranean basin cities • Empower and improve local municipal management in line with sustainability and climate

protection principles • Build a network of Local Climate Action participants and activities • Demonstrate and duplicate good practices for energy conservation and GHG reduction • Make available new tools and strategies for promoting sustainability in different types of

Le projet vise à mettre en place des Plans Climats territoriaux dans la perspective d’un Plan climat à l’échelle méditerranéenne. Ce projet s’inscrit dans le cadre de l’Agence Villes et territoires durables dont il serait une des premières manifestations concrète. L’Agence n’étant pas créée, il serait porté pour l’instant par l’Institut de la Méditerranée. L’objectif de l’Agence est de promouvoir des démarches exemplaires et intégrées de développement territorial. Les Plans Climat en sont une parfait illustration dans la mesure où ils exigent une forte cohérence des actions entre les Etats et le niveau territorial. Le projet viserait à accompagner trois territoires au sud dans une démarche intégrée de type Plan Climat selon une méthodologie fixée par l’Ademe et qui sera adaptée en fonction du contexte local. Le PNUD qui conduit une démarche de ce type au niveau mondial et méditerranéen sera associé au projet.


Mettre en place et tester sur des projets pilotes la faisabilité de Plans Climat territoriaux comme passage obligé pour la mise en plan d’un Plan Climat à l’échelle méditerranéenne. Les problèmes à régler relèvent de la capacité à mettre en place des dispositifs de gouvernance associant permettant de faire descendre au niveau territorial les objectifs et les engagements de l’Etat au niveau international dans les négociations en cours sur le Climat.

261


Les résultats attendus au niveau de chaque territorire sont : • Bilan carbone et connaissance partagée par les acteurs du territoire des vulnérabilités mais

aussi des potentialités à court et long terme du face aux effets du changement climatique

• Appropriation des outils méthodologiques et techniques permettant d’engager des actions concrètes et efficaces

“Daher el maleh”, “im errihan”, and “khirbet el-Ra’abiyyeh” are names for three villages located in the northern part of Palestine on an area of 2 km2 . these villages were highly affected by the wall built by Israel. They are supposed to be under the Palestinian Authority, all of them are Palestinian ID holders; however, they are being separated from other Palestinian villages by the Wall; they can easily reach Israeli cities but if they do, they will be put in prison since they are not given permits to inter Israel. There are gates for the wall (for people to reach schools and to go to work). The gates open at 7-10 am and from 12-7:30 pm. For the same reasons, PA is not able to provide them with electricity services, clinics, or any other services. The water is being provided by Micorot (Israeli Company for water). People there are using diesel generators to generate electricity (6 hours per day). This project aims to provide the following Villages: “Daher el maleh”, “im errihan”, and “khirbet el-Ra’abiyyeh” with home-based off-grade Solar panels to provide better living conditions. In addition to providing them with 20 street lights (also based on solar system). Following are some information about the villages:

263


1- To provide 113 houses with green energy enough to cover all house needs 2- To provide the villages with 20 street lights. 3- To teach inhabitants how to do the rehabilitation works for the solar panels


113 houses being provided with solar panels enough to provide them with all house electricity needs 20 street lights are fixed in the roads within and between roads for villages.


This is the first partnership cooperation between CED and the Triangle research and development center. The triangle center is based close to the three Arab villages mentioned and will follow up with all researches needed, calculations for solar panels, and even maintenance work for these villages since their mobility & movements is easier than the mobility for CED and the Palestinian stakeholders like municipalities and/or joint councils because of the wall. CED will be the main focal point and coordinator for the work through their relationships and their signed agreement with the Ministry of Local Government.

The Triangle Research and Development Center- Israel: The TRDC was founded in 1999 by the Al-Zahrawy Society a non-profit organization set up by scientists and physicians to find a means of bridging between the historical Islamic science and modern scientific method. It entered a stage of accelerated development in 2003 when it started to attract many more researchers and started winning research grants. The TRDC is one of 10 regional research centers, and has been successful in winning a large number of research grants from many sources. It is academically affiliated to Tel Aviv University and has joint research projects relationships with nine local and foreign universities. The TRDC has become the focal point for Arab researchers from all over the country and the world offering an “Arab home for Research,” that is open to collaboration with the whole world. Conferences, seminars and workshops organized by the TRDC draw huge attendance and laid the grounds for an extensive network of scientists and employees of high technology companies. Most of The TRDC research projects are in various life sciences, though there are important software and other projects also underway. The center’s mandate is for applied research, a mandate that it interprets in two ways – the first is public health projects, for the immediate and long term benefit of the community. The second is in nurturing research that can lead to start-up companies a focus that is intended to give the center’s constituency of stakeholders a far better footing in the developing economy of the 21st century. The TRDC plays an important part in the region. As the only research center in the region, it provides a focal point for the community. It has also established a Science Garden targeted at radically improving the quality of science education in the region, and seeks through both research and education to create new role models for the youth in the region.

5. Description of the project (max 500 characters) Over the past 10 years, the Palestinian territories have suffered from frequent power interruptions which have resulted in considerable economic and social damage to various sectors including health. During the past few months, this problem has increased with dangerous and negative effects in many regions of Palestine with the claim that the current power availability (municipal electric power bought from Israel) does not satisfy the demand for power from West-bank and GAZA strip cities. The increased electrical power demand, especially in winter time, led the local and governmental authorities to declare emergency status. The proposed project will focus on design and implementation of a solar energy system at Al-Ahli hospital and it’s partners to help meets its energy needs and serves as a capacity building exercise to encourage and assist similar projects to be implemented in other similar organizations. A successful implementation of this project will avoid and minimize the risks of power intermittencies, decrease costs and improve the efficiency of an in-house power generation. This action will further include a series of awareness-raising workshops for the community,


Main objectives are to build an integrated cost effective, sustainable and reliable clean energy systems, with very low environmental costs, and to improve the energy efficiency in buildings as well as create public awareness as to the enormous opportunities offered by the sustainable energy technologies. Specific Objectives: • To decrease the hospital’s power consumption costs by approximately 30-40 % per year and to

mitigate the risk of unpredictable increases in fuel and power prices. • To minimize the risk of damage to sensitive and costly equipment as a result of repeated power

interruptions (i.e. increased reliability). • To reduce the environmental costs, such as carbon emissions, in the power generation process

using fossil fuels. • To provide the al ahli hospital and the partners buildings with an alternative source of power. • Increasing the awareness of the local community including power distribution companies, large

Different strategies to reduce the environmental Impact of the polluted El-Manazala Lake on the Mediterranean Sea


Priority Measure


2.2 X


Lake Manzala is located on the northeastern edge of the Nile Delta, between Damietta and Port Said. It is separated from the Mediterranean Sea by a sandy beach ridge which has three open connections between the Lake and the Sea. Lake Manzala is a shallow brackish lake with an area of approximately 1000 km2. The Lake is exposed to high inputs of pollutants from industrial, domestic, and agricultural sources. Pollution originates in urban centers such as Cairo and also along the lengths of the drains. The most important sources are in eastern Cairo. Untreated and poorly treated wastewater is transported to Lake Manzala by the Bahr El Baqar drain over a distance of 170 km. The drain is heavily polluted and anoxic over its entire length. Methane and hydrogen sulfide bubble up to the surface and release climate gases. Large amounts of particulate matter, nutrients, bacteria, heavy metals, and toxic organics are transported to the Lake via the drain. Lake Manzala is connected with the Mediterranean Sea by four connections passages. Due to the interaction between Lake and the Sea, Lake spills its Polluted water to the Sea most of the time. The environmental Impact of this polluted water on the ecosystem at the sea is great. Another problem is, most of the poor people depend on the lake for providing them with cheap food. People in this area are exposed to serious health problems and maybe life threat as a result of lake pollution. Furthermore, Agricultural lands adjacent to Bahr El Baqar drain and the Lake are exposed to pollution due to seepage to the groundwater besides the continuous using of drain water in agriculture activities. By bioaccumulation, heavy metals and other hazardous contaminates will be accumulated within plant and animal tissues and indirectly to the human.

271


Providing a clue for lake and drain pollution problems will direct management to reduce the serious impact on the Mediterranean sea and the damage effect on human health and contributing for reducing the environmental effect of this pollution on fauna and flora. It will also contribute for securing healthy food (fish) for thousands of limited income families. Moreover, Contributions for solving the previous problems will provide thousands of jobs for fishermen which they were greatly affected by decreasing the fish productivity of the lake. One of the major objectives of the proposal is to construct a biological treatment station at the end of the drain in order to treat at least 100000 cubic meters per day from the polluted drain water and reuse the treated water in fish farming. Project Objectives The specific objectives of the project are: 1- Study the effect of drain water on the agricultural ecosystem along the drain. 2- Study the accumulation rate of pollutants in the soil and living organisms along the drain and lake. 3- Investigate the expected environmental effect on the Mediterranean Sea 4- Investigate the expected effect of such pollution on human health. 5- Seeking suitable solutions for reducing such pollution in both of drain and lake. In order to achieve this, the following steps should be conducted: 1- Compile available data to construct a data base for the site 2- Soil/Water Samples from agriculture land along drain, drain and from lake will be taken. 3- Distribution of different contaminates will be expressed as trend regression analyses curves. 4- Employ, modify, and/or develop numerical models (1D, 2D, and 3D) together with experimental models to describe the evolution of pollution extend through soil and water. 5- Constructing/contributing of constructing a biological treatment station at the end of the drain and before it spills its water into the lake (The main objective) in order to treat 100000 cubic meters of the polluted drain water and reuse the treated water into fish farms beside the stations.


The above objectives will be developed in close cooperation with Port Said governorate and other stake holders including land owners and local governments. The direct beneficiaries of the proposed project can be identified by the following:

• The environmental situation at the Mediterranean Sea near the Lake which will be improved

• Fishermen who lost their jobs and thinking for living the country for better life. • Constructing the biological treatment station and its fish farms will contribute for providing

many new jobs

• Improving the environmental situation at the lake will provide new jobs opportunities for thousands of people (fishermen and jobs depend on fishing and marketing) especially youth.

• Not only the limited income people who depend mainly on the lake for providing food but also all residents regardless of economic category because of the enhanced environmental awareness and emphasis on the health risk associated with water pollution.

• Seeking a clue for such a huge environmental problems will be a successful model to implement for similar problems in any Mediterranean country

• The landowner and stakeholder of the agriculture land along the polluted drain. • The country of Egypt in its standing internationally on environmental protection and

rehabilitation.

5. Description of the project (max 500 characters) Scarcity of water calls for conservation and reuse. One method of conservation is by recycling graywater (GW) for landscape and agricultural irrigation. GW represents the largest potential source of water savings in homes, accounting for as much as 50–80% of the total water use. Typically, GW includes only wash water (bath, dish, laundry). While not pure enough for direct use, it is suitable for on-site treatment and reuses such as irrigation and toilet flushing. The possible presence of pathogenic micro-organisms is one of the main obstacles to wider reuse of GW.

6. Main objectives – problems to be addressed (max 500 characters) 1. Develop a technique for monitoring treated GW Two stage filtration techniques to concentrate effluent of treated GW. Immunological, molecular and culturing techniques to monitor pathogens in the effluent. 2. Evaluate pathogen load Monitor for indicator enteric pathogens and pathogens that dominate GW systems. Evaluate pathogens dominating GW treated water and soil and detection techniques. 3. Survey microbial quality of recycled GW to assess health risks 4. Provide guidelines to reduce risks. Test ten households using recycled GW systems to irrigate vegetable gardens. Evaluate system monthly to determine levels of indictor pathogens

5. Description of the project (max 500 characters) Solar Greenhouses – Harvesting the sun twice A novel thin PV technology, nano-coated polymer films which are “transparent” to red and blue wavelengths, enables dual use of the solar spectrum. The red and blue spectrum is used to support plant cultivation, while the rest of the spectrum is used to produce electricity. Installing these dual-use films on the roof of a conventional greenhouse will enable farmers to produce electricity for the grid or for internal use, while maintaining high crop productivity. Thin films based on dye-sensitized titania harness energy from photosynthetically inactive wavelengths, while the “lost” frequencies pass through the film. Thin film photovoltaics (PV) have been demonstrated to have commercial status, with credible performance, feasible manufacturability, and evident market interest. While there is a potential efficiency concern for most applications, it offers a breakthrough opportunity for ours. The IDC Herzliya has applied for a patent on solar greenhouses exploiting these frequencies pass bands to generate electricity and support photosynthesis. An individual thin PV cell comprises one layer of photo-active material (red) sandwiched between two transparent electrodes and transparent flexible substrates - ITO coated polyethylene terephthalate. If the active layer is approximately 2 – 8µm thick, it can be transparent enough to allow certain wavelengths of light to pass through it. Light is absorbed by the dye that is chemisorbed to the surface of the titania; this produces an excited state of the dye. These dyes absorb across the entire visible region of the solar spectrum, but the absorption is different for different ranges of the spectrum, which is the basis for the proposed dual-use of the films (see figure above). Note the deep minimum in the absorption spectrum of the dyes in the 450 – 500nm, and the 700 regions. These regions are appropriate wavelengths to support photosynthesis. This low-cost technology is light weight, flexible and nearly unbreakable. It has been demonstrated that modules can be cut and punctured with very little effect on performance —critical attributes for prolonged outdoor exposure.

6. Main objectives – problems to be addressed (max 500 characters) Apply available renewable energy technologies within projects which will benefit from the complementary strengths offered by the different countries, The projects are expected to have sufficient economic potential to attract investment and produce their own momentum to encourage regional cooperation on the ground without the need for declarations of political will as their primary driving force. A multi-disciplinary regional team of 18-20 experts from Jordan, Israel, the Palestinian Authority and other countries worldwide is being formed to conduct an in-depth study of the feasibility of various aspects of regional projects in alternative energy. The group will generate discussion on the economic, technical and political feasibility of the technology examples described above and create pilot projects in the three countries.

7. Envisaged outcomes (max 500 characters) Once the pilots prove successful – the group will address decision makers and potential investors to broaden the scope of the project and implement it in various places around the region. It is expected that this technology would prove cheap, clean and sustainable, combine agricultural benefits + renewable energy production and will become available around the region for the benefit of all its residents.

Adaptation and mitigation of Climate Change and its effects on Biodiversity and local communities lively hoods in East Mediterranean Countries


Priority Measure


2.2 X


Biodiversity loss in the Mediterranean region and particularly in its eastern part cannot be halted without addressing climate change effects, and its environmental solutions cannot address climate change without addressing biodiversity and ecosystem degradation and cross border cooperation between related sub-basin countries. And therefore conserving and restoring ecosystems can have multiple economic, social and environmental benefits and is the basis for cost-effective adaptation and mitigation to climate change. Adaptation of species and habitats and mitigation of impacts must be sustainable and based on an ecosystem approach. This approach is the only way to ensure long-term success of these strategies and improvement of local communities' lively hoods. This project aims at minimising the impacts of Climate Change on Biodiversity through mitigation and adaptation of impacts on species and habitats to improve and enhance life quality of communities affected by such change due to loss of biodiversity leading to less ecological services provided traditionally. Climate Change impacts in this project will be defined through implementation of ecological and environmental baseline studies, data collection and collation of effects on biodiversity loss and local communities lively hoods in the eastern part of the Mediterranean basin. Assessment and understanding of impacts by using bio-indicators such as “Important Bird Areas” IBAs, wetlands, rangelands and forests and exploring traditional methods of ecosystem management and sustainable usage of ecological services, will deduce up-to-date measures in raising awareness, enhancing policies and governance, using cutting edge methods and skills

One of the most widely recognized catalysts for achieving successful social integration of young

293

immigrant and minority youth is their active participation in the labor market. This is achieved by lowering the various barriers that exist through empowerment, education, language acquisition, and vocational training. The experience of various Mediterranean basin countries shows that minorities and immigrant populations encounter severe difficulties in entering the labor market, or, having entered, struggle to retain long-term employment and upward mobility. Immigrants, in particular, face many barriers in gaining a foothold in the labor market. This remains true even when they speak the language and have the same level of education of natives. Young members of minority communities are confronted with new labor market requirements such as language proficiency, familiarity with job search procedures and work practices which they are not always able to satisfy. In principle, this expertise can be acquired over time and barriers can be overcome. Centers for Young Adults (CYAs) are being established around the Mediterranean Basin to facilitate social integration of youth; many of these Centers are currently pre-occupied with social, cultural and educational activities, yet are increasingly interested in helping young adults from minority and immigrant communities access sustainable job opportunities. This interest is generated by increasing awareness that early labor market access is a key determinant of successful employment and integration in the long run. To successfully engage the target population on this topic, it is essential for CYAs to gain the professional tools necessary to develop their respective professional empowerment components, and get support to mainstream cultural competence throughout their programming. Indeed, raising general awarenes of cultural differences, among employers and job-seekers alike, is key to addressing these obstacles. Minority youth often grapple with cultural obstacles and stigmas in the workplace, such as cultural differences related to the perception of work and its place in life, or the perception and understanding of roles and responsibilities in the workplace. Clearly CYAs will have to work in partnership with employers to address structural factors such as a mismatch between educational qualifications and market demand, inadequate language skills, lack of understanding of how the local job market operates, demographic-family aspects such as large or single-parent families, a tendency to isolate themselves from the host society, and high expectations in terms of career advancement. Unfortunately, many youth leaders lack access to the employer community and require assistance to develop their employer engagement and networking skills. Even though employers and youth face a common challenge, they rarely work in partnership to overcome integration obstacles.


• 5,000 young adults empowered through participation in local CYA employment programs.

• Two best practice manuals published: cultural competence and youth employment

• Network established between CYA's across the Mediterranean Sea Basin

• Website created in support of best practice sharing and networking.

• Enhanced collaboration between employer organizations and youth leaders.

5. Description of the project (max 500 characters) Mobility and economic migrations are strong determinants of demographic change. The MOVE project develops an integrated approach to increase knowledge of mobile and migrant human capital's potential and dynamics, and addresses ways to share and implement good practices and innovative policies fostering innovation in local labour markets in regions affected by outflows and inflows of human capital.Regional policies have increasingly become more relevant and effective in terms of innovation and need-based solutions. The project answers the need to codify and expand the knowledge base of “regional good practices” formulated as integrated policies innovating employment and socio-economic services targeting mobile and migrant human capital, in order to optimize their knowledge and competences as a crucial condition for governance, development and social cohesion. The transfer of practices as a tool for improving regional capacity is tackled be the partnership on multiple levels: exchange among the outflows regions and among inflows regions. The concepts of “circularity” and “multi mobility practices” linked to “strategic attractiveness” and “contrast to the brain drain” refer to the innovative framework in which all partners need to confront. The partnership represents the interconnectedness of more developed areas and developing regions of the Mediterranean, with a view to co-development for sustainable growth of all areas involved in inflows or outflows dynamics, thus making mobile and migrant human capital's a relevant agent of socio-economic development along the paths of mobility. The project develops from the identification and share of good practices as the base for knowledge-building and delivery in four thematic areas that are central to the regional strategies for local development in relation to mobility of human capital. They are: � Local and regional innovative approaches targeting demographic changes: strategic data and

indicators, qualifications/skills, circular mobility/migration services and performance of mobile and migrant human capital as a factor of development

295

� Regional public authorities’ capacity and policies for economic inclusion in regions of changing demographics (retention and attraction of knowledge workers, entrepreneurship, R&D, education, housing, health care provision)

� Valorisation of the gender and age variables and ways to increase their participation in the Labour market and development

� Supporting the role, capacity and knowledge transfer of local actors: business support, economic and social services to mobile and migrant human capital as agent of growth and co-development.

6. Main objectives – problems to be addressed (max 500 characters) To share and transfer good practices and knowledge-based policies/actions for an improved development based on regional governance of demographic changes, labour market trends as a result of mobile and migrant human capital's impact on regional socio-economic development. This can be aimed through actions finalized to face the problems and reaching the following results: • inter-regional approach and strategies developed to enhance capacity-building and

governance of regional and local authorities, as well as stakeholders • overall increased participation of mobile and migrant human capital in labour market for areas

of high inflows and high outflows • increased efficiency and effectiveness of regional services and policies on mobile and migrant

human capital through the added value of a transnational perspective • better understanding and shared standards of the positive outcomes of good practices and

knowledge; • increased awareness of the issue. • increased transferability of good practices and use of innovative knowledge delivery (also ITC-

such as the resource centre) tools for governance of phenomena also in other EU and neighbouring regions.

Roads are very important to assure exchange of people, goods and capitals in the Mediterranean basin. Indeed they guarantee access to airport and to seaports. So, it is necessary to keep their functionality by adjustment actions. To such end, it is crucial to know traffic flows. Actually they are assessed through expensive and unreliable ways. The project aims to obtain information about mobility from roads users explointing user centre design principles and with a web 2.0 approach. Information will be gathered through GPS data processing.


The objectives of the project are: • Improving road network planning and design; • improve traffic and traffic management so that mobility and cultural exchange between

people, goods and capitals in Mediterranean basin can be encouraged. • Creating a cooperative network focused on roads users needs.


The main envisaged outcomes of the project can be summarized as follow: • improving mobility of persons, goods and capitals; • possibility to inform roads users about traffic and roads state in real time; • efficient, safe, economic and reliable roads infrastructures.

The goods and people movement is heavily restricted by Israeli measures especially to east Jerusalem, Israel and Gaza . This according to actual facts on the ground ( de facto ) and World Bank Report “ Movement and Access on the Occupied Territories”. Official Statistic of Palestinian foreign Trade 88,7% of the Palestinian export are going to Israel and 73,5% of the Palestinian imports are coming from Israel Import form Arab courtiers amount only 2.5 % of total Import and 6.8 of total export


Palestine trade theoretically with 128 countries but actually it has one trade partner. Israel export to Palestine of more one third of total import a worth of strategic goods such as petroleum derivatives and electric current where Israel has neither comparative advantage nor competitive advantage. The Palestinian foreign trade anyhow is not governed by the mechanism of market Rather than it is governed by the mechanism of forced dependency . The Palestinian products have good opportunities of access to Arab markets and foreign markets particularly the Gulf, Mediterranean and some other foreign market given the historical ties with these market and Arab taxes and custom exemption of Palestinian products.

2 The participation of actors coming from the eligible territories of Egypt and Tunisia to projects related to Priority 3 is not envisaged.

303


Diversification of imports and increase the export across borders to reduce dependency on one trade partner and enhance the Palestinian freedom of choice with regard to trade and trading partners Increase number of workers given the high rate of unemployment poverty among the Palestinian and consequently enhance the peace and the peace process.

Priority Measure

3.2


This project involves a series of strategic measures at various levels that would be complimentary in their impact – infrastructure, commercial, cultural, awareness – and that would somewhat ease the situation for the inhabitants of the Bethlehem Governorate and help its citizens overcome some obstacles they face in the running of their day-to-day life. They will have the support to conduct their businesses in a manner that would allow them to flourish and develop, notwithstanding the current geo-political reality and the parceling of the Territories into Bantustans.


- To identify the problems that arise from the situation of mobility and the passage of goods and capitals, and raise awareness about the current situation and seek solid and sustainable solutions that would benefit the local population.

- To launch support mechanisms that facilitate the flow of people to and from the Governorate as a channel for cultural, social and economic improvement.

- To capitalize on the only access route (Wadi Al-Nar road) to the Governorate by enhancing its physical condition and developing services that assist the circulation of goods and capitals to and from the Governorate.

- To develop community-based ecotourism in the rural areas of the Governorate in a manner that is respectful of the needs of local communities, their culture and the environment.

- To implement a program of awareness targeting various segments of the local population from decision makers to the general public, particularly youth and women, and that would

311

support all the activities developed in this project and draw attention. - To benefit from the services provided at the new industrial zone and develop methods of

cooperation with towns and villages surrounding the area. - To develop a system of transportation for the passage of goods within and beyond the

Governorate.


The overall challenge that this project addresses is facilitating the mobility of persons, goods and capitals to and from the Bethlehem Governorate. If this is achieved, it would improve the daily life of Palestinians, notably the inhabitants of the Bethlehem Governorate, and their livelihoods; it would contribute to boost a much-depressed economy; it would restore a much-needed level of dignity and confidence, both severely eroded to the set-backs of the past years.


For this section, we need to identify the type of partnership we are looking for and potential partners. Since the Mayor will be attending the Partners Forum in Amman on the 30th of this month, he will be advised on the most suitable partner/s for implementing this project.

JOB-MED aims to contribute to the enhancement of the inter-Mediterranean cooperation in the training, career guidance and mobility area by reinforcing the collaboration among the university system, the training system and the enterprises in order to adapt the knowledge, competences and skills to the specific requirements of the global market. In accordance with the Euro-Mediterranean Free Exchange Area goals, the project supports the economic growth in the area by investing in the human capital. In order to achieve a long-term economic growth and an increased synergies between Southern and Northern Mediterranean countries, JOB-MED assumes that a knowledge-based competitiveness is a major asset for the area and that both supply and demand sides must be adequately balanced in the training and education area. On the supply side, the education system has to be adapted to the competitiveness matrix by increasing the relevance of the practical knowledge and so-called life skills; on the demand side, specific attention has to be given to the requirements of the labour market. The importance of developing human capital as Mediterranean’s main asset is the hardcore of the project and thus focus the efforts of the participating countries around two principal goals: economic growth and better quality jobs. The project activities are:

• Research activities: context analysis, SWOT analysis (a better understanding of specific needs is a precondition for identifying effective measures)

• Drafting of an Inter-Mediterranean Training and Mobility Integrated Offer • Pilot project – mobility and training

Soucieux de réduire les causes de tensions existant dans l‘ethno religieux système méditerranéen, il y a nécessité d'accroître la confiance, la solidarité, et le partage des savoirs, Il nous paraît pertinent de mettre en place un Forum de discussion dans le cadre de la semaine culturelle de la Méditerranée à Marseille en coopération avec 5 pays. • Echanger sur la problématique : la condition humaine en Méditerranée face au intérêt géopolitique. • Pistes de réflexions et de travail, limiter les disparités sociales pour construire une paix durable. 6. Objectifs principaux – problèmes à traiter (max 500 caractères)

- De renforcer les liens et la cohésion sociale - Apport d’informations et circulation des idées sur les pratiques en matière socio politique. - Mettre en lumière sous forme d’expositions les richesses culturelles apportées par les migrants qui ont construit Marseille et d’inventer des « moments de vie » pour que l’on continue à se découvrir, à mieux se connaître et à devenir sans doute plus solidaires.


� Rapprochement des gouvernances locales aux réalités du terrain. � Permettre aux professionnels et bénévoles du social de repartir sur le terrain avec une base de

données, des informations et des pistes de travail, � Permettre à des jeunes d’aller à la rencontre d’autres jeunes afin d’échanger et de s’enrichir du

vécu de l’autre et pourquoi pas de bâtir ensemble un projet d’entraide. � Permettre à des jeunes de partir accompagné d’artiste à la rencontre d’autres artistes et de

s’investir dans des projets culturels et de revenir à Marseille avec une création � Faire de Marseille et de toute les autres villes ou auront lieu les événements pour une semaine les

Priority Measure



To promote a Mediterranean independent think-thank on the role of finance and financial institutions for socio-economic development 6. Main objectives – problems to be addressed (max 500 characters)

Improve our understanding of the role of finance and financial institution in economic development, with an emphasis on the problem of extending credit, and more generally of banking, in an environment characterized by small opaque businesses and imperfect information. Among the issues to be addressed, it is worth mentioning those concerning the access to credit of SME’s, the implications for individuals, banks and firms, of recent regulations like the Basel II capital requirements, the Directive 2004/39/ CE on Financial Instruments Markets and those forthcoming as result of the current financial crisis. These objectives will be pursued via both formal training (e.g. promoting university and post-graduate initiatives like conferences, Masters degrees and so on) and joint research programme. 7. Envisaged outcomes (max 500 characters)

Improved professional skills on finance and banking across regions with different cultural and financial traditions. Further training and specialisation of young Mediterranean Sea Basin undergraduates on operational methods and quantitative techniques in modern finance and banking aiming at increasing their opportunities of job placement within banks, firms, and public organisations in charge of development programmes. 8.

3. Project title Art and Rural environment 4. Priority and Measure (Please put an X in the appropriate box) Priority Measure


5. Description of the project (max 500 characters) The idea of the project is to bring the world of art and culture of the Mediterranean closer to the rural world by transforming the image of small rural villages into “countries of art”, while at the same time creating opportunities for artists who live and work in cities to move to small rural areas in order to better acquire new artistic and expressive skills. 6. Main objectives – problems to be addressed (max 500 characters) The objective is to bring art to the rural world by creating opportunities for development and social and cultural growth by bringing art academies closer to peripheral areas. Art will be available to a wider audience through an “Art circuit”. Improvement of the environment will help artists to better express artistic creativity. More opportunities, especially jobs for young people, will come from positive actions aimed at developing the attractiveness of cities and involved rural areas for what concerns both tourism and the attraction of new residents and external investments. 7. Envisaged outcomes (max 500 characters) The main expected result is that the world of Art and the most peripheral and rural areas will get closer to each other and they will foster mutual knowledge and understanding. More opportunities will come from this: more options and jobs for young artists and for people who live in rural areas; increased tourism; creation of “Art Circuit” which will increase the attractiveness and the level of external investments in rural areas. This will also help to stop the ongoing depopulation and create a new knowledge of local Art for the new generation. 8.

We live in a world of ever-increasing interdependence between different nationalities, but we are witnessing a growing enmity, mistrust between cultures, religions and social groups in what is known to all as the fallacy of the “Clash of Civilizations”. A lack of knowledge about the “Other” and their traditions, cultural values and social norms can be an effective catalyst for antagonism and conflict between individuals and groups. We are sensing this when it comes to immigrants at the European levels. At the same time, the same is true on a global level, when groups’ only exposure to each other is the media. At both global and local levels, the widening divides between Western and Middle Eastern cultures need urgent attention to bridge the divide and create a space of dialogue and re-building of lost trust. It is only by breaking down the barriers of ignorance that it is possible to be open to other cultures and take an interest in others. It is solely through dialogue, the coming together of different peoples, exchanges that it is possible to combat prejudices and lack of openness to diversity. On this basis, an authentic space of the meeting between diverse cultures that goes beyond the mere rhetoric of interculturality will be pursued. The current project aims to bring together young and dynamic artists from diverse horizons from Europe and the Mediterranean, (Italy, Jordan, Palestine and possibly Portugal) together with the aim of accompanying young people, teachers, educators from different socio-cultural backgrounds at the local level with training in different aspects of artistic expressions, visual art, sculpting, and communicative dialogue. At the same time, to conduct global exchange visits between different cultural groups in order to share this space of creativity. With the supervision of the artists, it will engage young people and teachers in

341

opportunities to create an artistic piece of work that embodies creativity which unites cultures together, releases youth energies, creates cultural understanding, in a free space that build bridges of respect not scepticism of the other. The exchange will harness practical artistic experiences and manifestation of young people creative energies and facilitate conducive environment for group interaction, cooperation mutual understanding and tolerance. It will promote a forum of dialogue among and through young people about issues related to Mediterranean and European state of relations. This is to be organised in schools by these young people, in order that we are able to support and understand the process between cultures. It is through dialogue, the coming together of different people, encounters and mutual understanding that it is possible to combat prejudices and lack of openness to diversity. It is only by breaking down barriers that it is possible to open one’s mind and take an interest in others, by giving young artists, young people and teachers the opportunity to have their say and be creative social peace-makers. These artists and young people are thus able to share their lives and express their point of view in an immediate and authentic way via art, media, films, music, sculpture, exhibitions, educational learning and TRAINING in art and intercultural DIVERSITY. The artistic work done by the young people under the direct supervision of the artists will be displayed in exhibitions and web sites to increase the VISIBILITY of artists and dialogue of cultures at the grass roots levels.


Overall objective: A. To invigorate dialogue between young artists, youth groups and educators from both

shores of the Mediterranean and Europe, by involving civil society at the grassroots levels and giving people the opportunity to express themselves directly via artistic works and creative exchanges.

B. The promotion of cultural life and heritage in the Arab world and Europe and creation of awareness both locally and globally.

C. Promote the creativity of Palestinian, Jordanian, Italian artists through exchange between young emerging artists and their accompaniment and mentoring of the creativity of young people on the theme of intercultural dialogue.

D. To combat prejudices, stereotypes and dispel the fallacy of the clash of civilization and fear of the other either locally or between both basins of the Mediterranean, via art, media, literature, exhibitions of artistic work done by the participants .

E. To allow young people and educators to express their thoughts on intercultural dialogue and increase intercultural awareness and cultural diversity globally through exchanges and present different point of views in order to stimulate discussions and draw attention to certain clichés that fuel prejudices..

F. To promote creative and effective opportunities for intercultural dialogue through artistic and cultural events, education, workshops and activities, (A conference) for gaining inspirations/ highlighting intercultural dialogue.

G. To bridge cultural divides on both shores of the Mediterranean and Europe by promoting intercultural dialogue among young groups, artists, civic society through expressive art of productive collaboration across the divides, which are viewed as threats to the international dialogue and balance. Through concrete initiatives and events such as: 1. The production dissemination of relevant material and resources 2. Small and large scale local and international events: training, exchange, exhibitions,

book, documentary films depicting cultural differences and commonalities 3. Ongoing exchanges 4. Artistic workshops, using art as intercultural dialogue method.

Problems to be addressed 1. Clichés, prejudices and fears of the other are issues that seem to cast out the very idea of

dialogue of cultures between the Mediterranean and Europe. If dialogue remains difficult and mindsets remain fixed, this will create a lack of openness and space for diverse

342

cultures and people to meet and interact. 2. The fallacy of the Clash of civilizations 3. Building bridges of dialogue instead of scepticism between the two shores of the Med. And

Europe 4. Going beyond stereotypes to discover our shared values and humanity and achieve

openness instead of rigid mentalities 5. Lack of exposure to different cultures, heritage, values, norms, tradition in the

Mediterranean and Europe with a focus on Gender equality and empowerment


1. Intercultural exchange between young people and creation of piece of art that depicts global understanding. This will illustrate the vision of artists, educators and teachers on dialogue of culture and mutual understanding of one another.

2. Exhibitions where artwork to be displayed throughout schools, units, centres and various social outlets.

3. Arts and culture festival combining performance/visual based artistic pieces ( music, dance, theatre and media)

4. Raise awareness at local and European levels of importance of enhancing dialogue and global understanding.

5. Capacity building of young people, teachers, educators in different aspects of artistic activities, to enhance the dialogue and knowledge of civilisations.

6. Produce a short documentary film that represents European and Arab cultures ability to work together. It will consist of interviews relating to the process and outcome of the programme, bringing together a combination of reflections and perspectives from the participants. This will be communicated via the internet for International and global use. It will also be distributed to local schools, centres and units a means of teaching material.

De l’image au paysage




La Corse devient de moins en moins méditerranéenne... partant de ce constat, il me plairait de confronter ces changements avec des pays qui eux ont fait l’expérience brutale, tragique, évidente d’une mutation à tous les niveaux, aussi bien humaine qu’inscrite dans leur paysage. Alors en partant d’une île Chypre pour que la comparaison soit plus évidente, et d’un pays le Liban dont les similitudes géographiques sont souvent citées, se permettre une étude de ce qui transforme insidieusement la vie des gens au quotidien. Ce qui n’est plus et ce qui est nouveau. Ce ne sera pas forcément un constat mais plutôt une manière de mettre en exergue ces changements et, par là même anticiper sur leur devenir.

6. Main objectives – problems to be addressed (max 500 characters) Il s’agira de bien repérer dans les modes de vie , les langues utilisées prioritairement, les tendances aux voyages et aux déplacements, les paysages tels qu’ils se sont modelés,scindés, effacés, ou recrées, l’impact qu’ils ont sur les habitants. Paysages, coutumes, apparences et réalités qui se contredisent parfois, assurément un travail passionnant qu préfigure ce qui va encore changer. Avec ces trois pays particulièrement inscrits dans leur histoire, et sur leur socle méditerranéen distinguer ce qui reste commun, ce qui aussi évolue plus ou moins bien ou moins vite chez les uns et les autres. Je ne vois pas de problèmes particuliers, puisque il s’agit d’une manière artistique d’aborder ce constat, qui bien entendu s’adaptera à la sensibilité de chaque réalisateur.

7. Envisaged outcomes (max 500 characters) Je pense que ça se finalisera par la réalisation de trois documentaires de 52mn chacun, qu’auront pris soin de réaliser en commun les réalisateurs des pays concernés. Chacun se rendant dans chaque pays pour évaluer, repérer et filmer ce qu’il aura trouvé de probant et d’utile à cette constatation de l’évolution forcée et pas toujours comprise ou acceptée de ces changements ou au contraire des aspects quelques fois positifs qu’il pourraient être constatés.

347

Mon point de vue fort au départ de la « dé-méditerranéisation de la Corse se modulera certainement au contact des autres réalités. Enfin un enjeu particulièrement excitant au regard de ces trois pays emblématiques d’une Histoire puissante en événements. L’intérêt c’est de réunir et de faire participer complètement ces réalisateurs à ce projet, outre la manière de filmer qui sera originale puisque outre le regard sur leur pays ils auront à partager leur regard sur les autres pays, mais aussi il pourront entraîner avec eux une participation plus grande à la réalisation de leur film, puisque le montage pourra aussi se faire dans les pays qui ne seront pas forcément ceux des réalisateurs permettant ainsi un véritable échange de compétence et de pratique diverses.

5. Description of the project (max 500 characters) Youngsters from different Mediterranean towns will get to know each other, their own and one another cities through an structured program of research, audiovisual documentation and production and cultural exchange. The program enable the participants to document their own cities and to get to know about the everyday lives of people in other countries. The participants are guided and supported through the following steps: Think about what your favorite places and sounds are and then make art to share your city experiences with others. See if the following steps gives you any ideas, try to: (1) Think about your city (2) Explore different aspects of urban life (3) Be creative. The project is based on a successful UNESCO project to which MAKASH contributed translations in Arabic and Hebrew. Detailed descriptions of the activities are available at the basic and simple rules and the step by step procedures pages available in the UNESCO portal. The present Mediterranean version of the project will be embedded in new resources that have now become readily available: (1) Substantial digital libraries offering resources about the Mediterranean cities that can be used and incorporated in the work of the young creators (2) Facilities for cheap video filming and format conversion that enable it to be uploaded and viewed in the Web (3) Social networking facilities (Web 2.0) that support close acquaintance, mutual support and dialogue between participants from different regions and cultures. The implementation of such tools will be an integral part of the project. 6. Main objectives – problems to be addressed (max 500 characters) • Develop and provide a readily available methodology that may be applied to support of urban

renewal development. The proposed structured reflexion on the urban environment may be employed as an initial step in opening interventions aimed at obtaining young citizens.

• Develop digital skills among young creators enabling them to reflect how urban spaces and city environments can be transformed into creative outlets with new forms of expression using digital sound and images.

359

• Support young creators in exploring the role of digital practices in addressing the dynamics of culturally diverse communities and people living together and dialoguing in modern urban environments. Coping with the task of documenting their immediate environment and expressing it in a way that may be received by young creators in other cities has an extraordinary potential for learning, identity crystallization and self understanding.

• Extension of the time perspective by figuring out possible futures for the Mediterranean cities. How could our visions be conveyed into making cities a more environmentally and socio-culturally sustainable environment?

7. Envisaged outcomes (max 500 characters) • Development of joint measures for training technicians of different cultural sectors through the

promotion and the dissemination of the use of new technologies leading to substantial spread of ICT capabilities and skills among young creators from the participating regions;

• Development of knowledge of Mediterranean cultures through the use of new technologies, including the digitisation and distribution of cultural and scientific material

• Support for creativity in the multimedia design and urban studies through the establishment of trans-Mediterranean networks of institutions able to support the program as partners.

• Promoting dialogue through initiatives of intercultural exchange among young emerging creators, and their cross-fertilization.


Presently only the proposing institution. Possibly partners are the institutions that participated in the original Unesco programme may be interested in joining the present proposal (see: International workshop and Arab States participants.). Possibly UNESCO. 9. Partners still searched (max 250 characters)

On pourrait aussi concevoir le mot « archive » d’une façon très elargie, en incluant non seulement les archives historiques et audiovisuels institutionnalisés, mais tout ce qui est réceptacle de mémoire vivante pour les nouvelles générations. De l’autre coté on voit que de plus en plus les archives se dynamisent, veulent atteindre un public plus large, et de plus en plus d’artistes, dans les différentes disciplines, se rapportent aux matériaux issus des archives pour leurs créations. 6. Objectifs principaux – problèmes à traiter (max 500 caractères) Les objectifs principaux : • établir un réseau parmi les archives, institutionnels ou privés, et les artistes dans les régions

de l’aire euro-méditerranéenne qui ont déjà développé et réalisé des projets artistiques à partir des matériaux d’archive. Créer une liaison pour se connaitre et confronter les expériences.

� Trouver, discuter ensemble les moyens pour valoriser les archives à travers la création artistique contemporaine afin de rejoindre un public plus vaste et surtout : nouvelles générations, milieux défavorisés

3. Project title

Reconstruction of archaeological landscapes in mediterranean coastal environment by means of non-invasive technologies.




The archaeological prospection and excavation of an ancient settlement is a slow, careful and consequently costly operation. In this research project, we propose a methodology based on a sequence of steps, starting from a refined analysis of satellite, remote and small scale aerial photographs, in order to define the prospection on land and at sea, via progressively selective and advanced non invasive, geophysical techniques.

6. Main objectives – problems to be addressed (max 500 characters) The main aim of the project will concern the development and the application of an integrated methodology for 3D rendering of the buried archaeological features in complex environment such as coastal planes: Integrated methodology (geophysical and remote sensing) for visualization of the subsoil to support the planning activity of the archaeological excavation; Development of geophysical technologies for archaeological prospection in coastal environment; Development of software for data processing of magnetic, electromagnetic and electrical measurements;

5. Description of the project The relation between the Mediterranean and music is a complex and controversial subject: while the record industry and the media promote the idea of a homogeneous musical genre within the entire Mediterranean basin, scholars in ethnomusicology have discovered and made it clear that there is a substantial variety of musical expressions from cultures flourishing around the mare nostrum. The project aims at combining these two attitudes and follow the thread of the voice in its different musical varieties: on the one hand it wants to develop a rigorous research in terms of ethnomusicology; on the other it will encourage mobility and comparison between musicians belonging to different musical traditions. It will also explore how music in the Mediterranean is learned and transmitted orally. 6. Main objectives – problems to be addressed

The project aims at enhancing the mutual understanding and respect between the cultures of the Mediterranean. As a symbolic language, music is one of the main areas in which different cultural identities occur: thanks to music everybody can discover elements of affinity and/or of mutual differentiation. With its expressive immediacy music may also function as a means to overcome cultural barriers, and thus provide means for a mutual cooperation. Working with the tools of scientific knowledge offered by ethnomusicology and thus comparing different kinds of music in a context of mutual respect, it will be recognized that every culture has values and features to be discovered, and possibly adopted. Since music is a performing art, it creates the conditions through which individuals come to know each other. A special relationship develops in a concert between those who play and the audience. It is therefore possible to think of a small contribution in bringing together men and women, each with its own identity, within a frame of mutual respect.

377

7. Envisaged outcomes There will be different initiatives, with surveys, studies on the field, gathering of databases and analytical data: all this will be made available on Internet, through the creation of a dedicated website, making possible the widest possible access - to the people involved and beyond. Expected educational activities in schools at all levels, organization of seminars and internships open to all, beside the development of multimedia materials for wider audiences. Within the project there will be held meetings between musicians from different cultures NO formula in concert (too much abused by the market of world music), but within more traditional scenarios. The project will also make possible to produce and distribute books and records (either for an audience of amateurs and for specialists). 8.

Improvement of “human capital” is to be considered among the best instruments of success in public administrations. An appropriate use of training lever can represent a strong strategic value. From this point of view the Municipal Administration of Palermo has created a training system, composed by internal trainers, that directly manage all training process steps. The Municipal Administration of Palermo would share this experience with other local administrations in order to contribute to the improvement of governance process at local territorial level.


Main objectives of this proposal are using training lever as a proper instrument for “directional control” through the centralization of training function both in planning terms and in budget terms of cost and the promotion of the activity of trainers as internal communicators able to convey ideas and to take into account suggestions of the staff and to feel his moods.


Main outcomes envisaged of this proposal are training and employment of a team of internal trainers enabled to understand public administrations dynamics and to provide a quality coaching; realization of a centralized system of planning and management of the training process, which uses internal trainers with the function of acknowledging the workers’ demands for learning activities.

The final objective is to give a chance to the involved actors (public and private bodies) to share the methodologies, procedures, tools, know-how, and innovative solutions implemented within their local governance experiences. Many cases of local governance involving both private and public bodies have been developed and represent an important source of information that should be analysed and discussed among Partners in order to set up new innovative solutions. A successful example is represented by the Strategic Plan for Cagliari and its “vast area”, that in 2008 received acknowledgements by the Forum of Public Administrations. 6. Main objectives – problems to be addressed (max 500 characters) The main objective is the sharing of relevant experiences in the governance of cities coherently with the principles defined by the Leipzig Charter on Sustainable European Cities. Actually cities are considered pillars of the local development and significant junction points for technical, transport, and communication networks. They are centres of cultural, managerial and scientific interaction. The Project also aims at conjugating the economic efficiency with the safeguard of local territory, the respect of common welfare and the active involvement of public and private bodies in the experimentation and implementation of new models and solutions for the governance of cities. 7. Envisaged outcomes (max 500 characters) Within the Project a census of governance models adopted by the Partners will be taken (e.g. strategic plans, etc.) and success stories will be highlighted. The results of the analysis will be included in a dedicated database and will be disseminated through specific activities aiming at the transfer of competences among Partners (e.g. workshops, transnational mobility of municipalities’ employees).

Description of the project (max 500 characters) Le projet « Esprits d’Europe: structuration de l’espace rural et tourisme religieux et spirituel » répond à la nécessite de les mutations de la demande touristique en le basin de la méditerranée en raison de l’augmentation vertigineuse des prix du pétrole et des contraintes de plus en plus pressantes du changement climatique. Ces fêtes populaires et religieuses devenant des attractions touristiques majeures des espaces ruraux ont un impact sur le besoin d’infrastructures et d’équipements qui concernent toutes les filières économiques locales. L’impact est aussi sur la société civile. Ainsi se créent des clusters locaux, pôles d’attractions d’activités qui vont au-delà du tourisme par la création de filières autour d’une ressource locale compétitive sur les marchés internationaux et qui permettent aux populations de ne pas émigrer des zones rurales vers les zones urbaines. Le projet se structure en deux partie : 1. Analyse de l’impact des fêtes populaires et religieuses sur l’espace rural euro

méditerranéen 2. Mise en place d’expériences pilotes conduisant à la compréhension de processus

applicables dans l’espace euro méditerranéen sur la création de produits et services innovants dans le cadre du tourisme religieux et spirituel en milieu rural

6. Main objectives – problems to be addressed (max 500 characters) La nécessité de la promotion d’un développement polycentrique et intégré de l’espace MED pour répondre à la logique de concentration des activités et des richesses par rapport aux hinterlands. Créer nouvelles formes de tourisme en milieu rural pourraient servir à mieux en structurer l’espace et y renforcer les ressources culturelles. Renforcement de l’identité et valorisation des ressources culturelles pour une meilleure intégration de l’espace rural. Les régions méditerranéennes disposent d’une forte identité culturelle et spirituelle configurée par des valeurs communes, mais souvent en fonction de pratiques différentes. Les fêtes populaires et religieuses sont autant des éléments de l’identité culturelle que des facteurs de moteur économique local. Ces rencontres en milieu rural favorisent le dialogue entre les cultures et les religions, renforcent les liens entre les personnes et réduisent les stéréotypes et les attitudes de xénophobie et de racisme

5. Description of the project (max 500 characters) The project will focus on the complex theoretical and practical issues related to post-conflict cross-border cooperation, the multiple security activities of governments and its agencies, the local people and their specific border culture, and the role of market forces, non-governmental organizations, cross-border environmental practices as well as different aspects of economic interdependence and social reconciliation. We will identify the various people and organizations involved in cross-border cooperation initiatives along the Israel-Jordan border and create a network of the various cross-border activists and relevant local and national governmental officials, allowing them to share their experiences, challenges and successes. The network will be based on a database of the interests of the various activists and their contact details as well as on meetings between groups of interest and relevant institutional representatives. 6. Main objectives – problems to be addressed (max 500 characters) The findings of the project will serve as the basis for a new conceptual "map" of this border region, indicating the local needs as well as non-local involvement in cross-border cooperative initiatives. The data collected will be the basis for a realistic analysis of the border region, of the factors which inhibit local cross-border interdependence in basic issues of regional development and environmental needs and of the volume of actual rather than merely proposed cross-border cooperative activity. 7. Envisaged outcomes (max 500 characters) This project aims to enhance regional security through facilitating Israeli-Jordanian cross-border cooperation. It will do this by linking culture and politics, creating a channel through which cross-border activists can better solve the problems which inhibit their activities. The network will increase the voice and power of the various activists and generate increased cooperation opportunities between them.

PROMOTION OF THE MEDITERRANEAN DOMESTICATED BIODIVERSITY

Date of submission: 19.06.2009 Last update: 19.06.2009 Priority: 1. socio-economic development Keywords: agriculture Description: The loss of domesticated biodiversity within the Mediterranean zone is one of the major forces causing landscape degradation as well as the extinction of traditional knowledge of life diversity. In situ genetic erosion of landraces is the main issues pointed out by FAO given that about 75% of plant genetic diversity has already been lost. The Mediterranean region is the primary centre of agro-biodiversity for 364 species. At present the spread of the industrial and green revolution and the globalisation of the food system and marketing generate a negative impact on the Mediterranean rural landscapes. The basic idea of this proposal is that the conservation of relevant locally adapted genetic resources should be finalized at “their use” following a process of characterization, protection, farm and market introduction. Activities of basic, applied research and networking among extensions and local communities are prerequisites to increase diversity in the farmer fields and promote adapted germplasm and local cultures. Examples of activities that can be hypothesized by the project: Phenotyping; Genotyping; Cultivar Registration/protection; Socio-economic studies of the driving forces within each context; Biodiversity analyses; Extension activities; Food and market promotion of local products. Main objectives: The general objective is to promote a common (multi-partner)platform for a sustainable use of “actually relevant” genetic resources, driven by both business and farmer’s rights protection. It will follow the increase of the cultivated biodiversity in rural landscapes of the Mediterranean zone. To achieve this general goal it is important to promote “locally appropriate biological innovations” (e.g.: relevant germplasm of real or potential economic interest)delivery . Envisaged outcomes: Tackle the trend of genetic erosion and bio-piracy of domesticated genetic resources, sustain landscape protection at Mediterranean scale, promote local economies based on rural welfare.

This quote .. expanded, contains in itself the basic idea of our project, that is to say arising the history of trade from the reality of Mediterranean ports, and therefore of culture, local traditions that differentiate them, the elements that they share, identifying the best part of the cultural heritage and bringing all the innovative technologies which can be engaged in individual reality. we wish to emphasize the diversity but also the unity related to the environment, history and evolution of the seas and land ports. The ports, often born as a simple shelter for the inlets of small boats, have transformed over time in places critical to a fervent growth of nations. Main objectives: To recover the value of local traditions we intend to achieve with our project, a network involving the various ports and which could be the promoter of development based on two axes, a first related to the application of modern technology to the historical, archaeological and architectural heritage of the sea cities, a second to the rediscovery of their traditional products. These products come both from the eno-gastronomic industry and from the local handcraft and their circulation on the market must take place in full respect of a sustainable tourism, based on the improvement of the existing natural and cultural assets. Envisaged outcomes: For a shared spread of the typical products of each port the project will promote the creation of a single brand, as a meeting point for small manufacturing firms involved in the recovery of ancient traditions, developing therefore far-reaching synergies.

LA RECUPERATION DE LA GASTRONOMIE DE LA MER

Date of submission: 24.06.2009 Last update: 25.06.2009 Priority: 1. socio-economic development Keywords: fishing Description: L’idée du projet provient de l’observation d’un déséquilibre dans les choix du marché relatifs aux ressources en poissons: beaucoup de gâchis en ce qui concerne le secteur sont dus à la méconnaissance et donc à la non-valorisation de produits de la pêche de qualité (sur le plan diététique et organoleptique) et d’où on note, dans la gastronomie à base de poisson, que toutes les espèces pêchées et puis rejetées ne sont pas utilisées. La cause de ce phénomène est à imputer en grande partie à la perte du goût antique et des traditions culinaires locales. L’effet est un prélèvement injustifié des ressources environnementales marines. Main objectives: o Sauvegarder et transmettre le patrimoine alimentaire de la pêche locale o Combattre l’homologation du gout en intervenant et en harmonisant les exigences du producteur et du consommateur o Améliorer la connaissance du “poisson oublié” auprès des consommateurs en prévoyant également l’implication de la population d’âge scolaire o Augmenter la connaissance du “poisson oublié” parmi les opérateurs des cantines et les personnes préposées à la restauration o Favoriser l’introduction des espèces de poissons “négligées” dans la diète des grandes structures: cantine scolaire/hospitalière/hôtelière o Réduire dans l’ensemble le parcours de la filière du poisson et les coûts (et par conséquent, rendre la pêche plus viable). Envisaged outcomes: Phase 1 .ANALYSES. - Analyse de marché sur le coût de la pêche locale et étude quantitative et qualitative sur les espèces de poissons mineures qui ne sont pas adéquatement valorisées mais présentes dans l’habitat marin (recensement, analyses des espèces) - Identification des produits de la pêche utilisés dans les restaurants, hôtels, cantines scolaires, hospitalières, d’entreprises, grande distribution. Phase 2 ECHANGE INFORMATIONS. - Comparaison des données qui sont ressorties de l’analyse entre les régions impliquées dans le projet - Implication des agences de promotion touristique et des écoles pour la diffusion de la culture gastronomique de la pêche locale. Séminaires et manifestations de diffusion à différents niveaux (y compris la citoyenneté) Phase 3 .FORMATION. - Séminaires et cours s’adressant aux opérateurs du commerce de la pêche et de la restauration sur la récupération des espèces de poissons sous-évaluées et/ou oubliées. Phase 4 .STIPULATION d’ACCORDS. - Idéation et partage de Protocoles de gestion entre les parties impliquées dans la filière (personnes préposées à la pêche, à la distribution et commercialisation, à la restauration et aux cantines) et les organismes locaux (y compris les organismes de promotion touristique). Partners searched: On prévoit l’implication de l’Université et d’Instituts de recherche, des pêcheurs, du monde de la gastronomie, des opérateurs touristiques, hôteliers et des restaurants, de la grande distribution, des écoles, des cantines d’entreprise et sanitaires, de l’associationisme environnementaliste pour amorcer un mécanisme vertueux de connaissance et de valorisation du patrimoine alimentaire de la pêche locale.

Date of submission: 10.06.2009 Last update: 12.06.2009 Priority: 2. environmental sustainability Keywords: agriculture, energy, local development, research and technological development Description: The need for renewable energy sources is a challenge that maximized in regions where the natural resources for energy are limited as the case of Jordan. Locally, the arid environment is prevailing and the available land for growing food crops is limited. On the other hand, fossil oil is not available in Jordan, hence efforts are paid to find alternatives and cost efficient for the imported oils. At our research center (NCARE) we are interesting in defining new energy crops. We/I am seeking for cooperation with EU partner(s) to exchange, knowledge, genetic materials and available options energy crops. Any option is welcome including the use of any crops or biomass. On other hand, sewage water is available in many stations that could be used for the production of energy oil at the same time we avoid the conflict between food and fuel, as the produced materials are out of the cultivation areas for food crops. Besides, both saline water and soils could be involved in the production chain as those resources are not fully used and limited for certain robust crops. Defining energy crops that could withstand saline conditions will be promising option for the production of renewable energy sources under such conditions. Learn from EU and other nations experience with the cooperation with partner(s) will ease the befits sharing including the best understand for each condition and available options for benefit exchange. Main objectives: To develop a renewable energy sources. To control conflict between food and fuel needs Envisaged outcomes: A renewable energy sources are available in Jordan.

MOSAICO_MONITORING SUSTAINABILITY TROUGH INDICATORS COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS FOR

COASTAL AREA

Date of submission: 26.06.2009 Last update: 30.06.2009 Priority: 2. environmental sustainability Keywords: environmental policies, governance, ICT, territorial development, tourism Description: The project proposal concerns an experimental system aimed at supporting integrative approach in environmental policy making of coastal area trough specific management tools. The project proposes a model which is useful for different realities with regard to resources, dimensions, nature and degree of organization in order to enhance cooperation among countries of different shores of Mediterranean basin. The entire project idea starts from the consciousness that costal areas are complex environmental contexts with similar criticalities (coastal erosion; pollution in urban and industrial area; need of sustainable fishery techniques; promotion of eco-turism)and that sustainable planning should necessarily involve a plurality of local actors. It looks at European Union strategic orientation and normative prescriptions which stresses on the need of a co-ordinate approach among different countries in order to increase the value of these resources(COM(2000)547; COM(97)744). Consistently with this view the project aims to implement a tool capable of guiding policy makers in a simple but rigorous way in the process of integrated management of the coastal zones. At this aim the project look at develop a common indicators sets which allow to measure and monitor local environmental conditions and assess and define better policies, trough comparison and benchmarking activities. The different typologies of collected data will aim not only at describing and analysing environmental phenomena, but also at measuring those variables and aspects that should be known in order to guarantee a sustainable and integrated management of the zone, dealing also with the other pillars of sustainable development (social and economical variables). Once a comprehensive and in-depth set of indicators will be prepared, the project will be carried out by an application of these indicators into the coastal zones involved, in order to identify the different environmental and critical aspects. Since common indicators framework will allow comparison among different local contexts, project partners can debate on common problem and cooperate in finding better solutions within the framework of the underlying inclusive methodology Main objectives: MOSAICO project aims at promoting cooperation and knowledge for environmental sustainability of Mediterranean basin coastal areas. Trough common methdology and information technology tool the project would to produce a unique dataset, based on environmental indicators and reporting environmental state and conditions of each territory involved. Thanks to the common knowledge and the better relations developed the project want to address better environmental solutions and promoted integrated policy bitween coastal countries involved Envisaged outcomes: Overcoming the difficulties of integrating the planning approaches of the multitude of initiatives in each of the areas can be effectively facilitated by creating a common database, which results from the systematic analysis of the single cases, so the main project output will be a bilingual computer programme able to: • visualize necessary data for environmental analysis of the coastal zone and suggestions which possible subjects could supply those data • elaborate automatically entered data and build connected indicators • identify area’s characteristics • build the map of local actors and stakeholder (public bodies, trade associations, tourist associations, etc.)which could be involved in eliminating the causes • support the arrangement of a value analysis to assist the decision-making process • indicate possible improvements to be carried out by the actors Once the most critical aspects will be identified by applying the significant criteria, a prioritization of actions for local sustainability will be carried out. Indicators and indexes might be related with featuring problems of coastal area environmental policy (coastal land erosion; natural area protection; ecoturism promotion) and will be firstly commonly defined by local actors and then included in the software owned by all partners. The software will allow a step-by-step approach to the collection, analysis and evaluation of data in coastal zones, guiding in such a way the local policy maker along the process of assessment, prioritisation and planning of effective actions in order to improve and spur a more sustainable local

development. Improvements in local planning and programmes will be discussed and proposed within the coastal zones involved in the project, relying on different policy instruments such as: legislation, economic instruments, voluntary agreements, environmental certifications and labels, technological innovation, research and training initiatives. For each coastal zone involved in the project, the planning of actions for local sustainability will encompass at the most appropriate and effective mix of these instruments. The project will be based on participative approach. Trough European Awareness Scenario Workshop (EASW), a specific method for inclusive decision making, the project will grant an active participation of all actors of each territory involved in the partnership and during each single project step.

SUSTAINABLE USE OF WATER IN THE IRRIGATED LANDS OF THE MEDITERRANEAN BASIN (SUSTIRMED)

Date of submission: 29.06.2009 Last update: 30.06.2009 Priority: 2. environmental sustainability Keywords: agriculture, risk management, water management Description: The project will develop a cooperative net to share and transfer the technology currently available for conducting a more efficient and sustainable use of water in the agriculture ecosystems of the Mediterranean basin. An initial survey will be carried out to gain knowledge on the water management practices and methods currently applied on each region and water policy situation. This information will be used to determine the technology that could be better transferred to each location according to each user needs, constraints and water availability. Demonstration platforms will be developed in order to disseminate between the potential users the possibilities of the different water management tools such as: 1) Remote sensing techniques for large-scale estimation and management of water needs. 2) Precise irrigation scheduling techniques based on the monitoring soil and plant water status. 3) Regulated deficit irrigation strategies to improve the water use efficiency. 4) The use of recycled water for optimising the water cycle. Main objectives: Fresh water is a very scarce natural resource in the Mediterranean area and its use and distribution is often reason of geo-political conflicts between regions within the same state or between states in a given country. This is mostly because fresh water resources are often shared between regions. In addition, fresh water is used by multiple economical activities. The irrigated agricultural lands are the major water consumers but, at the same time, they often provide for the lowest economical return. This means that under water scarcity, from an economic point of view, most of the water in the future might be allocated away from the agricultural ecosystems increasing the risk of desertification and rural areas abandonment. The objective is then is to transfer to fresh water users of agricultural lands tools that will promote a more efficient and environmentally sound use of water in the Mediterranean ecosystem. Indeed this will promote a more cooperative and efficient fresh water use policy that could allow for a solution for the current water conflicts. Envisaged outcomes: The main outcome of the project will be the development of multi-country cooperative technology transfer net. It will share technology among all partners allowing for a faster and more efficient way of communicating results and technologies. The project will release to the water authorities precise estimation of the water requirements for entire irrigations district. Comparisons of the irrigation requirements with the water availability will define the predicted working scenario. In case of water scarcity possible solutions will be suggested including the possibility of reducing water application by using deficit irrigation strategies and/or using recycled water. These solutions will indeed take into account the technical and economic situation of each user deriving from an initial water management survey to be implemented. Partners searched: We are looking for local authorities, agricultural cooperative, universities and local development agencies from: Tunisia, Lebanon, Egypt and Syria.

LA JOIE EN TERRE": DU CARNAVAL ET D'AUTRES FETES SUR LES RIVAGES DE LA MÉDITERRANÉE

Date of submission: 18.06.2009 Last update: 18.06.2009 Priority: 4. cultural dialogue and local governance Keywords: cultural heritage Description: Ce projet concernant la "culture de la fête" dans la Méditerranée, sera soumis sur le Programme “IEVP Basin Méditerranéen”, adressé aux régions et territoires Européens, Africains et Asiatiques qui donnent sur la Mer Méditerranée. Les caractéristiques marquantes de la fête, avec le renversement des rôles sociaux, la célébration des cycles de la vie et de la mort spécifiques de la nature, l'annulation de la dimension individuelle dans celle communautaire, font de la Méditerranée un espace idéal de la "culture de la fête". Avec sa structure sociale fortement fondée sur les liens familiers et de voisinage, son climat, ses racines culturelles, les relations tissées entre les pays méditerranéens forment, au-delà des spécificités locales, grâce à la proximité géographique, aux périodes d’histoire commune, aux échanges, un ensemble culturel indéniable dans lequel la "culture de la fête" est un élément qualifiant qui le projet vise à protéger et mettre en valeur. De même manière, cet espace de dialogue et de communication se présente comme une frontière entre univers culturels et religieux différents: si d'une part, les flux migratoires, les relations économiques et culturelles s'intensifient, de l'autre la perspective politique est toujours plus menacée par des affrontements et des conflits qui trouvent dans ces territoires un nœud névralgique. Le projet vise à encourager le dialogue en valorisant les fêtes avec leurs différences et leurs racines communes dans les deux côtés de la Méditerranée, avec le but final de promouvoir la compréhension et l'interaction culturel, civil et religieux réciproques. Chef de file du projet (et proposant) est la Ville de Viareggio, ville côtière de la Toscane qui de cent ans organise l'un de plus importants Carnavals Européens. Main objectives: Objective générale: Favoriser le dialogue, l’interaction et l’enrichissement interculturel, à travers la valorisation des fêtes de la Méditerranée, en améliorant les relations de voisinage et contribuant à la cohésion, à la paix et à la prospérité de l’espace de Coopération. Objectives spécifiques: 1.Créer un réseau entre les acteurs qui promeuvent les fêtes au niveau territorial et les centres de recherche, à travers une connaissance réciproque des expériences, pratiques et besoins. Vérifier et approfondir les opportunités et les domaines de coopération. 2.Approfondir les caractéristiques historiques et culturelles de la fête dans la Méditerranée. L’on veut à ce propos étudier les différences, les points communes, les influences, en se référant aux différentes nationalités et confessions religieuses (hébraïsme, christianisme, islamisme). 3.Organiser la participation réciproque d’opérateurs, artistes, groups folkloriques, de jeunes (étudiants des écoles secondaires) et étudiants universitaires pour connaître et vivre concrètement les respectives fêtes. 4.Donner des opportunités de connaissance et coopération transfrontalière dans les domaines suivant (à vérifier avec le partenariat): -La formation et qualification professionnelle, par exemple, dans le travail et l’utilisation du papier mâché -L’innovation technologique dans l’organisation des événements -La valeur économique et touristique des fêtes et les opportunités de coopération économique parmi les entreprises 5.Diffuser les résultas obtenus et promouvoir des événements et produits adressés au grand public et finalisés à favoriser la connaissance, les échanges, le dialogue interculturel et la cohésion dans l’espace. Envisaged outcomes: Phase 1. Meetings et conférence de démarrage, avec présentations et échanges (Mois 1-3) Phase 2. Recherche avec chercheurs de différentes disciplines: anthropologie, histoire des religions et des cultures, philosophie, linguistique et littérature (Mois 1-15) Phase 3.
