Yesterday, November 27, the Mosque of Seville Foundation had the honor and privilege of being invited to the celebration of the twentieth anniversary of the Three Cultures of the Mediterranean Foundation. This event has commemorated the 20 years of activity of this foundation in which the values and intention with which it was created have been made clear: concord, cooperation, understanding, respect and dialogue between the cultures that converge in the Mare Nostrum.

A commendable and impeccable activity in the search for understanding and harmony between the peoples of the Mediterranean bathed in the spirit of the Barcelona Agreement of 1995 that has been evident in the words of the personalities of Spain and Morocco who attended this event, among which were the President of the Junta de Andalucía and Honorary President of the Three Cultures Foundation, Juan Manuel Moreno, the Mayor of Seville, Juan Espadas and André Azoulai, Advisor to H.M. the King of Morocco and President of the Three Cultures Foundation.

From the Mezquita de Sevilla Foundation we want to congratulate the Three Cultures of the Mediterranean Foundation for these twenty years of existence , recognizing the great work of all the workers who have passed through this foundation and who currently work in it, contributing that grain of sand that has made it possible for this institution to be a worldwide benchmark as a symbol of harmony. understanding and respect between cultures. We hope to be able to continue collaborating with this great institution to be able to show the world that coexistence, respect and dialogue between cultures are possible and achievable realities.

In the words of the Three Cultures of the Mediterranean Foundation:

“The Mediterranean space has always been an area of inspiration and reflection for those who coexist in it. As the cradle of civilizations, it deserves to live on its legacy and to change the paradigm of the relationships that occur in it.

International public life demands more than ever an extraordinary effort to eradicate extremism and fundamentalism that are imposed on dialogue and coexistence. The efforts of the Three Cultures Foundation to build bridges between societies are more necessary than at any other time and it is key to coordinate them to broaden horizons and gain in efficiency. Cultural diplomacy is an excellent tool that must address this emergency and the cultural development of the other. For this reason, after 20 years of incessant work in this field, the Foundation celebrates this working day with relevant authorities, experts, institutions and think tanks to jointly study the challenges presented by this Mediterranean in which we live and the role that institutions such as this one have to play.”
