General Information

The relationships between people and nations are not only regarding the political and commercial interests, but also the cultural and artistic issues are playing a very important role in making people to accept each other and to fill the gaps between them. Our projects and programs at Mediterranean for Developing Arts are always supporting the empowerment and improvement of institutions, communities, and activists and to connect them with the cultural and artistic areas.
