Hello everyone!!

I know that all of you are planning to go to participate in great SU's held
all over Europe, but have you thought of what to do afterwards?  Here is the
solution!!

For those of you who don't know about it, AEGEE Valletta is organizing
a fantastic event with the theme - Peace in the Mediterranean Region -
Can We Find a Solution?  This conference forming part of the Peace
Academy project (AEGEE YearPlan Spring 1998) shall be aimed at
achieving a better understanding of the origins of Mediterranean
civilisation in order to be in a better position to analyse problems
encountered within various Mediterranean countries and work on finding
potential solutions.

The main objective is to establish a platform for discussing and
analysing the impacts of conflicts over societies in terms of culture,
history and politics.  The main point is to create an atmosphere where
people with different backgrounds coming from European and Mediterranean
countries will have the chance to tell and learn about other cultures and
other identities similar problems and similar past.  This exchange will
provide a fruitful ground for making an analysis of where they stand and
what led them to that specific point.

The Maltese Islands

On most maps, our island is just a speck in the middle of the blue sea
of the Mediterranean – on some others it is not even that!  Yet, at one
point or another in its history, Malta has experienced the presence and
influence of all the cultures  which now surround the Medtierranean
sea.  This has given our country a cultural identity rich in diversity.
A possible bridge between two worlds  which for centuries have
struggled to understand each other, Malta has managed like few others
to bring together Mediterranean and European cultures.  A conference on
Peace in the Mediterranean cannot be held but here!
