VisMed is a non-profit association with a vision for the Mediterranean for a cultural, economic, social, and political environment that functions for the wellbeing of all citizens. The region faces its own challenges that, though not exclusive to it, reflect its distant past and recent historical developments. Waves of turbulence over recent decades have left their mark on many people, some with stories to tell and others with scars to heal.

VisMed has learnt from experience that the cultural milieu of the region is an exciting avenue for peace and better economic and social development, provided that all players pull their weight and raise their awareness of the need for the rule of law and respect for social justice and social equity. It is committed to being part of the effort for a better future for the Mediterranean and its people.
