This is an important project, promoted along with the LUISS Guido Carli University in Rome, for poverty-stricken students in the Mediterranean area. It guarantees a first-level university education through the first-cycle (3-year) and second-cycle (2-year) university-degree courses offered by the LUISS University. Once these students have completed their course studies, the objective is to have them return to their countries of origin and offer the skills they acquired towards the economic and social development of their relevant countries.
The project consists in teaching a class of 20 secondary-school students from Mediterranean countries (especially from Jordan, a country where poverty-stricken students from every country within the Mediterranean basin converge), guaranteeing their admission into the LUISS first-cycle courses, taught entirely in English. Subsequently, the same number of students will have the possibility of also partaking in the second-cycle specialization courses at the LUISS and, once they have completed their course studies, they will have acquired the basic skills needed to continue their university studies in their countries of origin and become managers of the future, with the premise that the culture and knowledge of the principles of finance and business will form the basis for relaunching the area of the Mediterranean.
The great challenge that the Mediterranean Project faces is that of strengthening Euro-Mediterranean political and economic cooperation through a common learning path that focuses on dialogue and collaboration at the highest levels of education and research. It also aims at promoting encounters between economic entities, institutions, and representatives of universities, within the framework of creating a class of leaders that is aware of the opportunities that arise from a greater interaction among the economic, social, cultural, and political realities of Europe, the Mediterranean, and Eurasia.
