4-6 February 2011
The Arab Education Forum – Safar fund and the Fonds Roberto Cimetta are preparing for a Symposium as part of their joint Istikshaf project exploring mobility around the Mediterranean, partially funded by the Anna Lindh Foundation. This Symposium will be held in Alexandria – Egypt in cooperation with the International Association for Creation and Training (I-act), in the context of the Dialog Program-Creative Forum for Independent Theatre Groups (Europe-Mediterranean) which will be held from the 1st to the 10th of February 2011*.
Background on the Symposium:
There is an evident lack or shortage of literature on mobility as a tool for learning, dialogue, and artistic exchange and as a new-old paradigm around the Mediterranean basin. The symposium aims to expand on and develop a renewed understanding of contemporary mobility by bringing together people able to think mobility in its widest sense. The symposium will focus the discussion on key areas such as concrete needs in relation to artistic mobility and mobility for long life learning around the Mediterranean
If you have conducted research or have an experience related to the topic of the Symposium, we encourage you to submit an abstract of the paper you wish to present at this Symposium.
We welcome papers on the many and varied forms of mobility addressing one or more of the following themes:
• Mobility for learning or mobility as a learning tool?
• Challenges to mobility.
• The culture of mobility.
• Mainstreaming/sustaining mobility as a culture and practice.
• Different models/paradigms of Mobility: mobility vs. tourism? Mobility vs. migration?
• Experiences in mobility around the Mediterranean.
• Mobility as a tool for re-inforcing local cultural development
The deadline for submissions is the 15th September 2010.
Abstracts will be accepted in Arabic, English and French, word count should be 300 words or less. A committee from the Istikshaf project partners will review all abstracts. Please e-mail abstracts and/or questions to: Mais Irqsusi mais@almoultaqa.com and/ or Angie Cotte angie.cotte@cimettafund.org
Please circulate this call to your networks.
