Mediterranean

The Mediterranean Sea is a meeting point for three continents: Africa, Asia and Europe. Over the millennia, it has been the cradle of some of the oldest civilizations in the world, and a place of meeting, alliance, dialogue.
Even though it is a small sea, there is a total of 25 Nations overlooking the Mediterranean Sea: 450 millions people live in these countries, and speak different languages. There is no common language.
Nowadays, more than ever before, we should focus upon dialogue and mutual knowledge. That is why this Office of Astronomy for Education Center Italy has chosen the Mediterranean as one of its main domains of intervention.
