Women for Collective Identities – Peace, Security and Identitary Cuisine
The Identitary Cuisine Project is the first innovative Euro-Med project of
this kind. Four Italian partners invited Italian (from Sicily), Egyptian,
Israeli, Palestinian, and Jordanian women beneficiaries to enhance their
respective collective identity in an interactive friendly dialogue and
constructive exchange, re-discovering local cuisine, personal narrative,
and emotions emerging in the project activities developing further
awareness and cohesion.
The M.Th.I. is the winner of the public call “Women-Peace-Security […] to allow the Italian participation in peace and humanitarian initiatives at international level” of the Directorate General for Political and Security Affairs (DGAP) of the MAECI, with the project ” Women for Collective Identities / Peace, Security and Identitary Cuisine ”.
