Short Mediterranean Stories: Action of culture, gastronomy and art

The programme "Short Mediterranean Stories" has as a purpose the creation of acommon action of civilization for the Mediterranean's people. In addition, it aims at promoting the individuality of each culture. The above will be achieved through the emergence of places that have remarkable cultural and gastronomic resources, an interesting natural and social environment as well as open-minded inhabitants.
The programme has as a goal the cooperation of the Mediterranean's regions in which are implemented local LEADER programmes by Local Action Groups (LAGs). Afterwards, local and foreign artists, scientists and chefs will collaborate so as to create a foundation or a celebration in every place that will take part in the programme.
Finally, a report of the foundation will be made, plus printed and electronic material will be produced, so that the foundation can be added to the catalogue of the "Short Mediterranean Stories". The foundation can be an already existent local institution which will be "adopted" and improved or can be a new institution which will be created from the beginning.
The places in which the foundation will take place, will form a network of the areas of the "Short Mediterranean Stories". The network will have the ability to manage itself andoperate even after the end of the project's programme.
The main point of the idea is the creation of an attractive action so as to arise the interest and the participation of young people from different parts of the Mediterranean.
