Europe and Arab countries. Views, opinions, perspectives.
From April 26, 2010 until May 07, 2010
Casa Árabe, Anna Lindh Foundation and CIDOB organize this international seminar to stimulate the debate and knowledge of the relations between Europe and the Arab world. Specialists and scholars from various origins, relevant figures and institutions that work in this domain, will evaluate the various dynamics between Europe and the Arab world, a prospective space on how they should be reinforced.
Moreover, different studies will be presented such as European Union and Arab world. How do Arabs see Europe and what do they expect from the Europeans?, prepared by Casa Árabe and CIDOB, and Report on Euromed intercultural trends (Informe sobre tendencias interculturales en la región Euromed), published by Anna Lindh Foundation.
The seminar will take place at Casa Árabe's Auditorium, in Madrid. Thrusday 6th May; sessions will be from 15.30 to 20.00 hours, and Friday 7th May, from 9.30 to 14.30 hours. Inscriptions are to be made by telephone (957 49 83 53) or by e-mail (ieam@casaarabe-ieam.es).
In the context of the Spanish Presidency of the European Union, three institutions – Casa Árabe-IEAM, Anna Lindh Foundation and CIDOB – have joined forces to organize a platform for encouraging discussion and knowledge about relations between Europe and the Arab world.
The meeting will gather experts and academics of diverse origins, leading figures and institutions working in this field, with the intention of reviewing the main existing trends and dynamics. The idea is to evaluate the state of the complex and often asymmetric relations in different fields (economic, political, cultural and social) and to reflect on the future of ties between these two geographic blocs, interwoven by multiple historic and demographic factors.
This seminar therefore aims to be a forum in which various proposals regarding possible future cooperation and interaction can be debated. With a view to enhancing mutual knowledge and ties between European and Arab societies, both in the Euro-Mediterranean and broader Arab and European contexts, the idea is to examine the Arab world’s views of Europe, evaluate how relations have been established up to the present, what European actions have been in the Arab world, what has been done and what remains to be done.
Two studies conducted by the three sponsoring institutions will be presented during the seminar: the study “The European Union and the Arab World. What do Arabs think of and expect from Europe” written by Casa Árabe and CIDOB; and the “Anna Lindh Report on Euromed Intercultural Trends 2010”. Both serve the objectives that move the
three institutions: to strengthen and consolidate mutual knowledge and to provide instruments that can be used to set out future prospects for relations between Europe and the Arab world.
