About

The final and last stage of the MED 25 Le Bel Espoir odyssey, this stage will summarize the 7 previous chapters to collect the most decisive dynamics for building peace. By agreeing on the benefits of a culture of Encounter and mutual knowledge rather than on logics of confrontation and defense of particular interests, the actors and partners of this odyssey will carry the beautiful hope of peace in the Mediterranean.

"I carry in my heart the hope that I can contribute in some way to peace in this world. This, I know, has always been our dearest desire. We both share the conviction that humanity must find a solution to control the weapons that now threaten the very existence of life on earth." Albert Schweitzer, Letter to President Eisenhower.
