In order to better understand the challenges of human and cultural relations in the Euro-Mediterranean Region, the Anna Lindh Foundation monitors and analyses intercultural trends and values, providing proposals and recommendations for their rapprochement.

A tool for knowledge

The Anna Lindh Report is an instrument for scientific knowledge, combining a Survey carried out in a sample of countries of the Euro-Mediterranean Region on individual values and perceptions of the other, with a wide range of analysis by a group of renowned experts. The experts involved in the Report come from different countries and from different disciplines, providing an indepth insight into intercultural issues.

Each Anna Lindh Report includes a thematic focus on one topic relevant to the shaping of mutual perceptions across the two shores of the Mediterranean, with ‘The Role of Media’ forming the theme of the first edition of the Anna Lindh Report.

A tool for Action
First and foremost, the Report is a tool to provide the Foundation and its
Networks with an understanding of the obstacles which need to be overcome in order to improve intercultural relations, and the opportunities which can be leveraged to develop a common project based on shared values.

The Report is also a tool in the hands of policy-makers and opinion-leaders, providing data, proposals and inputs for the intercultural dialogue agenda.

In addition to the recommendations for action, the content of the Report
forms the basis of a programme of debates carried out in collaboration with academic partners and the Anna Lindh Networks, and involving media practitioners and social leaders.
