Redesm.org : a website for a shared Mediterranean

Directed by Alessandro Ferrari and hosted at the University of Insubria, the project “Religioni, Diritti ed Economie nello Spazio Mediterraneo” (REDESM), aims to foster engagement and exchange between researchers interested in understanding the current role of religions and their public management in the Mediterranean area.

Their new website proposes many resources in Italian, English and French, such as the videos of the latest “Webinar Series’ focused on the cases of Morocco, Lebanon, Egypt, Algeria and the “new Gulf”. (Webinar held in partnership with PriMED, a project launched by the Italian government to prevent religious radicalisation).

REDESM Project is one of the 14 Research groups members of PLURIEL.
