CROSSDEV - The Hidden Mediterranean platform

Hidden Mediterranean is the brainchild of five destinations with great tourism potential – the Jabal Moussa Biospehere Reserve in Lebanon, Aqaba and Umm Qais in Jordan, the Palestinian Heritage Trail in Palestine, and the Via Selinuntina in Italy – which have teamed up and are working together to promote cultural, experiential, sustainable and responsible tourism in off-the-beaten-path areas, which are rich in traditions and authenticity.

Let's not waste energy! Join SOLE ACT GREEN Campaign!

The SOLE project promotes environmental sustainability through a widespread awareness campaign targeting behavioral change to reduce energy waste. Developed by the Italian partner ARRR, the Capacity Building pack facilitates the launch of the "Act Green" campaign across partner territories and provides guidance for implementation in workplaces and daily life. The package includes detailed campaign guidelines, 10 Act Green posters in multiple languages, an introduction poster, YouTube videos with subtitles, 10 squared images for Instagram, and social media dissemination guidelines. These resources aim to engage a broad audience and maximize the campaign's impact.

Mapping and assessment of relevant local, regional and national policies in waste

This document encompasses the results of a mapping of policies and strategies on solid waste management across the 6 project partner countries of the ENI CBC Med funded project Med4Waste. These countries are Greece, Italy, Jordan, Lebanon, Spain and Tunisia. The work focused on reviewing recent national and municipal waste and circular economy policies and strategies, while also providing the context of each country. Links to the regional frameworks influencing directly and indirectly the national policy settings (EU, UfM, UNEP/MAP, etc.) have also been made.

MedSNAIL factsheets of quality products belonging to the Mediterranean culture, history and traditions.

As an alternative to the MedSNAIL Geodatabase, factsheets have been published with information on Ark of Taste products identified through MedSNAIL. This is a more visual and easy-to-share tool that describes the nature, production process and history of these products. The Ark of Taste is a Slow Food initiative created to highlight the existence of quality products belonging to cultures, history and traditions around the world, which are at risk of disappearing within a few generations.

MedSNAIL Narrative Labels to raise awareness of products linked to local history, tradition and culture.

Narrative labelling is a tool inspired by the strategic instruments developed by Slow Food and ultimately aims to promote a more homogeneous identification between products from a specific area, thus fostering a sense of shared identity and a more direct association between the area and its local products. Each of the MedSNAIL pilot areas has identified local products adapted to and consistent with their natural environment and developed labels that highlight descriptive characteristics associated with their territorial context, historical trajectory and connections with the intangible practices and traditions of local communities.

MedSNAIL Alliance of Chefs Directory for local products promotion.

The MedSNAIL Chefs Alliance, inspired by a Slow Food initiative, is made up of a group of chefs committed to integrating local products into local food production. These establishments have been identified and collected through a specific directory that makes it possible to identify Mediterranean gastronomic establishments committed to local products. This network will serve as a precedent for possible collaborations and/or synergies between members of the sector, as well as new commercial links between producers and chefs.

MedSNAIL Strategy for Mediterranean agri-food sector

This is an integrated analysis of the MedSNAIL pilot areas (six pilot areas in Jordan, Lebanon, Malta, Palestine, Tunisia and Spain), which has enabled work to identify and prioritise common challenges and joint opportunities in the Mediterranean agri-food sector. It is a key document that lays the foundations for contextualising local scenarios and establishing useful comparisons that allow work to be coordinated through strategic solutions.

MedSNAIL Alliance for fair, sustainable, resilient and competitive Mediterranean agri-food system

The MedSNAIL Alliance is a model agreement that includes milestones and specific lines of work that actively contribute to the transition of the Mediterranean agri-food sector towards a fairer, more sustainable and competitive model. The alliance is understood as an open and scalable tool to ratify the commitment of those entities interested in strengthening and adding value to Mediterranean food chains.

MedSNAIL Agrobiodiversity studies to preserve local food memory

Agrobiodiversity studies constitute a strategic study of each of the six MedSNAIL pilot areas, their food varieties and related industries, as well as the environmental and cultural factors that condition the agri-food development of local MSMEs. They are understood as an agile and basic tool for preserving the food memory of the territory, but also for defining lines of action to reverse situations that endanger traditional varieties and related industries.
