General background information:
Following several cultural co-operation projects developed in the Euro-Mediterranean area and to give a contribution to the needs expressed by artists and operators met in this region, AMUNI is developing the programme MELOPEE aiming at supporting cultural operators through training initiatives and meetings with colleagues from their region.

The programme MELOPEE includes a whole set of activities, among which are:

Following the workshops organised in Tunis (Tu) (2005), Fère-en tardenois (Fr) (2006 and 2007) and Cairo (Eg) (2007), MELOPEE #5 offers a new opportunity for cultural operators
