The
president of the Agir Ensemble association moderated on June 19, 2025 in
Tirana, Albania, a strategic debate on diversity management in intercultural
cities in the Euro-Mediterranean area in the MEDForum on the occasion of the
celebration of Tirana as European Capital of Culture. This session discussed
the various challenges related to the management of cultural diversity in the
Mediterranean region from a common Euro-Mediterranean vision based on cohesion,
dialogue and the valorisation of cultural heritage for a future that goes
beyond crises and integration difficulties. It also proposed the adoption of
innovative cultural policies to address the crisis of confidence within
culturally diverse societies, considering culture as a wealth (sustainable transport
heritage) and value creator (cultural industries), in addition to considering
it as a tool for reconciliation between plural identities. This session is
based on the Tangier Declaration on Cultural Diplomacy in the Mediterranean as
a starting point for the discussion, which aims to attract various civil
actors, experts and academics to interact and reflect together on the future of
the Mediterranean and the mechanisms capable of consolidating the values of
participatory dialogue and cultural diversity management by proposing renewed
and innovative cultural policies through a multilateral approach in which
participants exchange knowledge and good practices to build a common vision on
the role of cultural diplomacy in the formulation of international policies for
the management of cultural diversity in intercultural cities.
