It is situated at a multicultural crossroads, which is a source of creativity. There is to be found here, around the Mediterranean Sea, a real Mediterranean identity, which is both historical and multicultural. This famous sea, the cradle of glorious civilizations and great change, is a vector of exchange and economic activity. For many decades the Mediterranean basin has known an economic, social and environmental situation, which is worsening rapidly (a gap in economic growth, demographic imbalance, even unemployment among the highly educated, exclusion to an extent that there is an outburst of both political and religious extremism and growing pollution of the Mediterranean Sea). Globalization, which is now being realized by directing the profits emerging from the opening up of frontiers towards the countries which are the most competitive, risks making matters worse and causing even more disruption.
