Conceiving intercultural dialogue as a real exchange among women and men living on both shores of the Mediterranean has been the clue of our success. The limits of mobility have been the main obstacle for involving more people in our activities and achieving a larger impact. Many years ago, Anna Lindh herself raised this question stating that, “The most important issue we have to deal with is freedom of movement.” “I have never had such a long-lasting, effective opportunity in my life. This exchange shaped my career path. My entire organisation changed. It helped me to identify the needs and get better equipped to address them. It was a life-time experience.” Rami Shamseddine, 31 years.

Palestinians have little chances in advocating their political agenda due to their limited freedom of movement and the one sided media coverage on the region. By educating tourists Palestinians try to make their story heard. Therefore, in the Oslo Peace Process with Israel, tourism was meant to play a leading role – as an instrument for peace – and regional tourism was expected to valorize regional exchange and sharing. However, Israel tries to stop any tourism development in Palestine for economic and political reasons. This research focuses of the everyday reality of the still ongoing tourism industry on the West Bank of Palestine. For this thesis I conducted a fieldwork, research period of three months on the West Bank. Through participant observations and qualitative interviews I have tried to grasp this social reality looking at both the tourists and the Palestinian hosts. In this paper I argue that tourism in Palestine is to be understood as a form of everyday resistance.

Cette opération est organisée en partenariat avec l’association Ni Putes Ni Soumises. Eric Besson et Sihem Habchi, présidente de l’association, ont signé une convention dans ce sens, comportant une subvention de 80 000 euros. Cette opération a pour but de promouvoir la laïcité et l’égalité entre les hommes et les femmes auprès de l’ensemble du public, et en particulier des personnes issues de l’immigration, dans les quartiers les plus sensibles. Elle a pour objectif de lutter contre les violences faites aux femmes et aux pratiques qui visent à les exclure de notre espace social, qu’il s’agisse de l’interdiction de participer aux mêmes séances d’éducation physique que les garçons, de l’enfermement au domicile, du port du voile intégral, de la polygamie, ou des pratiques intolérables de mutilation et d’excision.

ON THE POSSIBLE ABANDONMENT OF THE ANTI-SEMITIC STRATEGY BY THE FRENCH NATIONAL RALLY UNDER MARINE LE PEN Sergiu MIȘCOIU* * Faculty of European Studies, Babeș-Bolyai University, Cluj-Napoca, Romania Abstract: This article analyses the implications of the change in the National Front’s top leadership over the traditional anti-Semitic stances of the party. By studying the main reforms implemented by Marine Le Pen, this article shows that the dropping of anti-Semitism is at the same time not only a tactical move but not necessarily a genuine substantive change in the party’s ideology. Rather, like the party’s name change into the National Rally, it is a discursive adaptation on one hand to a general evolution of the French society (anti-Semitism being less entrenched in the public consciousness) and on the other hand to the particular conditions of the 2010s dominated by an increasing concern about the social, cultural and security-related consequences of the non-European and especially Muslim immigration to France.

Animal game The mid-term evaluation allows volunteers to assess their experience so far and to Online reflect on the activities, role and support of the Host Organisation and on their own courses contribution. The mid-term evaluation is essential for risk prevention and crisis Upcycling management and it thus facilitates conflict resolution — if necessary! In addition, workshop volunteers share positive experiences and increase their motivation. The evaluation provided the opportunity to learn from everybody’s ‘ESC story’ and enables the volunteers to plan developments and/or further improvements in their service and to think about what they will do in the longer term, once their period of service is over. The evaluation should also raised awareness of the personal learning process, linking it to the key competences of the Youthpass. Overall, the mid-term evaluation should offer a relaxed and informal atmosphere so the volunteers feel comfortable sharing experiences and saying whatever is important for them. Although the volunteers had very serious reflection sessions during the day, in the evening they had a lot of bonding time. An informal communication with each other is also very important - it helps with sharing various event, activity ideas, tips and experiences.
