Al-Andalus Chair. Spain, Morocco, Al-Andalus: Cultures and Modernity'.

Telling the Mediterranean in the plural. This is the ideal objective to fight against the contradictory messages that besiege us through the media every day. The same event can be told in different versions, which confirm differences and continue to revalidate stereotypes. In a multicultural world such as the Mediterranean area, it is necessary to look for an alternative media language that manages to overcome the negative image that is transmitted of the other. This is a fact that hinders coexistence between the peoples of the south and north of the Mediterranean.
