Mediterranean Convergences

Relevements Poetiques, Foundation Moustafa Ali, Institute Cervantes of Damascus,
Junior Chamber International (JCI) Damascus

Syria deserves all attentions from the world because it is the cradle of our civilizations; because it is one of the most beautiful countries in the world; because it reigns peace there. The tourists are received there like kings. And we have to learn culture exactly from this country. This is why we try to develop also the cultural exchanges between Syria and its brothers of the Mediterranean.

For the next year 2008 we chose to prepare a cultural event for Damascus because this city will be with the honor, and it is a way for us of showing how much Damascus needs the love of the whole world. The projects which combine Heritage and Culture are our priority.
