JAOU Tunis 2017

The fourth edition of Jaou seeks to explore the migration phenomenon in the Mediterranean. Chanted by Homer in his Odyssey, the cradle of great civilizations and a medium of cross-fertilization between the peoples of both shores (Phoenicians, Carthaginians, Greeks, Romans and Arabs), the Mediterranean, which means in Latin “between land”, has become the precipice in which are shattered the dreams of disheartened young people. Every year, thousands of persons perish there, while trying to cross the sea to reach the European shores via the island Lampedusa.
