The testimony of the almost everyday contacts between our countries can be found in the travelers’ and pilgrims’ reports, „avvisi“ from apostolic visitations e.g. or through mutual or even multi influences of music, paintings, art and crafts, language or customs in general. It is exactly the „metissage“ or that wonderful interchange and interinfluence between people that creates the particular Mediterranean world which can be considered as one entire planet called „Mare Nostrum“. During it's long history, Croatia, no doubt, actively participated in the creation of Euro-Mediterranean cultural identity. Dubrovnik / Ragusa, urbs par excellence, is the city - example of several centuries long custody of immaterial and material heritage and not only of the Croats but rather of all Mediterranean countries. A great French historian, Fernand Braudel stressed the cities of Venice, Genoa and Ragusa/Dubrovnik as main factors of development of the Mediterranean basin in the 16th century. Today, Mediterranean, a cradle of our civilization, in spite of wars and migrations, is still a special entity. In order to recuperate our relationships, so vivid in the past and no longer existing, Centre for Mediterranean Studies started a project Mediterranean Memory which aims to gather together all the Mediterranean cities where Ragusa had had its maritime consulates. Just to mention briefly, Ragusa had more than 50 maritime consulates in the 16th century along the Mediterranean basin and on the Atlantic. The conference will take place from October, 15th to 17th, 2010 and targeted participants are archival researchers and historians as well as Mayors of the invited cities. The historians and researchers will tell us how much of our past relationships remained recorded, while the Mayors will explain future development strategies of their cities so that we can maybe establish our new nets of cooperation.          P R O G R A M M E      2 0 1 0   THE MEDITERRANEAN MEMORY PROJECT The Second Meeting of the Cities – Dubrovnik's Consulates Dubrovnik, October 15th – 17th, 2010 The Conference venue place: Hotel Rixos Libertas Dubrovnik    Organizer: Centre for Mediterranean Studies of University of Zagreb   Coorganizers: Croatian Commission for UNESCO, Croatia National Hellenic Commission for UNESCO, Greece Centro UNESCO Valencia, Spain Intercultural Euro Mediterranean Center for UNESCO, Greece      Thursday, October 14th, 2010  Arrival of participants, Hotel Rixos Libertas Dubrovnik 20,00                          Welcome Dinner   Friday, October 15th, 2010  – 1st Day   09,00 –09,30             Opening Ceremony - Welcome speech Nives Malenica, Coordinator for Union for the Mediterranean, Minister Plenipotentiary, Office of the State Secretary for European, Integration Ministry for Foreign Affairs and European Integration, Croatia Ivana Burđelez, Director, Centre for Mediterranean Studies, University of Zagreb, Croatia Titika Stasinopoulou, President, Intercultural Euro-Mediterranean Center for Unesco, Greece José Manuel Gironés, President, Centro UNESCO Valencia, Spain Şehnaz Yilmaz, Vice President,  Intercultural Euro-Mediterranean Center for Unesco, Turkey Tatjana Šimac Bonačić, Deputy Mayor of Dubrovnik, Croatia Nikola Dobroslavić, County Prefect, Dubrovnik-Neretva County, Croatia   09,30 – 10,30                        Plenary session: Chair Person: Ivana Burđelez  Martine Boiteux (France): French Historians and the Mediterranean (film of Fernande Braudel) José Manuel Gironés (Centro UNESCO Valencia, Universidad de Valencia, Spain): Inventing the Mediterranean Iohaness Scarabelli (Archimandrita della Divina Misericordia, Italy): The Navy of the Order of Malta   10,30 – 11,00                        Coffee break 11,00 – 13,00                        Plenary session: Chair Person: Mladen Andrlić  Enric Olivé i Serret (Rovira i Virgili University, Tarragona, Spain): The EPUF  Joseph Mifsud (President EMUNI University, Slovenia): Giving Momentum to Cultural Cooperation in the Mediterranean Gojko Bežovan (University of Zagreb, Croatia): UNICA Network in Urban Studies - Inspiring Impulse for Partnership of Cities and Universities Antonio Oliver (Corporate Diplomacy Network, Spain): New Diplomacy and Euro-Mediterranean projection in a multipolar world Suat Oksuz (Dean of Gediz University, Turkey): Gediz University Relationships in the Mediterranean  Philippe Dumas (Université du Sud, Toulon-Var, France): Territorial Intelligence and the Union for Mediterranée Tunç Soyer (Mayor of Seferihisar, Turkey): City Counts   13,00 – 15,00                        Lunch   15,00 – 17,30                        Plenary session: Chair Person: Darko Bekić  Giseppe Perta (Università Dante Alighieri – Reggio Calabria, Italy): The network of the Mediterranean ports in the Early Middle Ages through the pilgrims’ sources Silvia Assenza (Università di Catania, Italy): Letteratura e sguardo Mediterraneo.
