| <strong>One philosophy</strong> | |||
| « Informing people in the southern Mediterranean countries about the initiatives supported by the European Union to generate prosperity in its neighbouring regions, all underpinned by the existing cultural dialogue between the two shores.» This is the mission of the EuroMed-News consortium. | |||
| <strong>One project</strong> | |||
| Bringing together international organisations ASBU, COPEAM and EBU, and public broadcasters EPTV in Algeria, France Télévisions, JRTV in Jordan, ORTAS in Syria, SNRT in Morocco and TéléLiban in Lebanon, the EuroMed-News Consortium aims to: | |||
| - inform the general public about the Euro-Mediterranean partnership; | |||
| - facilitate the coverage and broadcasting of current Euro-Mediterranean affairs by the southern broadcasters in accordance with their editorial freedom; | |||
| - stimulate dialogue and mutual awareness between people living on both sides of the Mediterranean; | |||
| - publicise the goals, methods and results of the European Neighbourhood Policy; | |||
| - promote cultural diversity and gender equality; | |||
| <strong>One team | |||
| </strong> | |||
| The EuroMed-News project is led by France Télévisions in partnership with the European Union, with COPEAM in charge of overall coordination. All editorial aspects are overseen by the ASBU and EBU, while Euro-Mediterranean news exchanges through ERN-Med are being coordinated by EPTV Algeria together with the Editor-in-Chief based in the ASBU and EBU. EuroMed-News features, current affairs programmes and documentaries will be produced by EPTV, ERTU, JRTV, ORTAS, SNRT and TéléLiban. | |||
| <em>EUROMED-NEWS is a regional project financed by the European Commission in the framework of the Call for tender “Media Activities in the ENPI Countries”</em> | |||
| <span style="color: #0000cd;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><strong> HIGHLIGHT</strong> </span></span> | |||
| <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 205);"><strong> COORDINATION MEETING AND PRESS CONFERENCE</strong></span><br /> | <strong>EUROMED NEWS : results and future</strong> | ||
| On 31st December 2010 Euromed-News project officially ended. During 24 months, six public broadcasters of the southern shore of the Mediterranean worked closely together to produce 300 news, 40 magazines and 9 documentaries focused on the actions carried out by EU in ENPI/South countries. Beyond the ambitious quantitative goals, set by the project - which have been reached, and in some cases exceeded – Euromed-News has been a crucial step for the audiovisual sector in the region: for the first time, a continuous and effective cooperation has been established among the newsrooms involved in the project, which were able to work in synergy, using shared techniques and standards and respecting the editorial freedom of each one. | |||

| As anticipated by Euromed-News consortium members on the occasion of the Press Conference in Tunis, the best practices acquired in the framework of the project will be the basis for new actions aimed at perpetuating the achieved goals. | |||
| This will be done, in particular, through activities encouraging the transfer of expertise - circulation and exchange of information as well as the treatment of gender themes on television - addressed to professionals of COPEAM, EBU and ASBU member broadcasters. | |||
| These same topics were approached during Euromed-News closing Press Conference, held in Rome on February 2011, organized by COPEAM in collaboration with the European Commission Representation in Italy and in media partnership with AGI, under the title "Euromed-News: Another Mediterranean is possible" . | |||
| On this occasion, France Televisions, ASBU, EBU, COPEAM and the executive producer presented the objectives, results and prospects of this action, whose real and symbolic scope gains a even greater dimension considering the recent events occurring in the South of our Mediterranean. | |||

| <em><strong>Euromed-News Documentaries’ workshop | |||
| <em>Amman (Jordan), </em><em>6<sup> <span>th</span></sup> July</em> <em>2010</em></p> | </strong>Tunis, June 29th – July 1st 2009</em> | ||
| <p> | |||
| On June 29th, Mr. Maaoui, Director General of ASBU, welcomed the teams from the Algerian, Jordanian, Lebanese, Moroccan and Syrian TVs in charge of the production of documentaries for the Euromed-News project. | |||
| Five teams gathering the head of project, a director and documentary-maker from each broadcaster involved, along with the Euromed-News Executive Production and a team from COPEAM, met in Tunis at the ASBU’s headquarters. Three days of study and cooperation that allowed to settle the basis for the production of a “collection” of nine documentaries aimed at portraying the human face of the Mediterranean, by treating subjects about the EU Neighbourhood Policy. | |||
| On day one, presentations about Europe, about ENP and a recall of Euromed-News’ goals allowed the participants to target their reflection and to identify the nine issues they will deal with. These topics were then submitted to the approval of the E.C., during a phone conference with Mrs Lucas who is in charge of the Programme. The participants had the occasion to describe to Mrs Lucas their idea and approach to the selected subjects and to ask the E.C. support in order to overcome the possible obstacles they could meet during the documentaries’ production. | |||
| Once she validated almost all the projects proposed, Mrs Lucas insisted in recalling the importance of both the content and aesthetic quality of these documentaries, aimed at communicating in a concrete way the idea of the “Mediterranean” and that will possibly be proposed to the audiences of both Southern and Northern Mediterranean shores. | |||
| The day after, 5 issues out of 9 were distributed between the present teams so that each one could start identifying the most effective angles of approach and the subjects directly linked with European projects that have been fulfilled or that are in progress: | |||
| -the Syrian television will produce a documentary about the symbolic and revealing places of intercultural and inter-religious dialogue; | |||
| -the Jordanian television will make a documentary about water that is a resource to be preserved; | |||
| -the Moroccan TV is in charge of the economic issue by emphasising the processes of investment and of micro-credit in the Area; | |||
| -the Lebanese television will deal with the preservation of the cultural patrimony; | |||
| -lastly, the Algerian television chose to work on the migration flows and most particularly on illegal immigration inside the Euromed zone. | |||
| The last day was devoted to the critical screening of programmes already produced by the teams outside the Euromed-News project, so to further fix the way of treating the topics and to establish the goals to be achieved both concerning contents and the quality of the planned items. | |||
| This working session was enriched by the expert eye of Mr. Hichem Ben Amar, independent Tunisian producer-director that had attended the European training Eurodoc Med in the framework of the Euromed Audiovisual II programme. He shared his experience with the teams and participated in the discussions and debates that took place in such occasion. | |||
| The workshop on documentaries ended on an useful intercultural dialogue on technical matters between professionals, and on the reciprocal sharing of the documentary-making practices. | |||
| The five documentaries should be ready to be broadcast by October 2009. From then on, the production of the 4 remaining ones will be started. | |||
| The 9 topics that have been selected are: | |||
| 1. The water : a common natural resource | |||
| 2. Alternative energies | |||
| 3. Inter-cultural and inter-religious dialogue | |||
| 4. Economy and investments in the Euromed region | |||
| 5. Immigration | |||
| 6. Safeguard and preservation of the Euro-Mediterranean cultural patrimony | |||
| 7. Women | |||
