The First Phase, that of the collection of flag proposals arrived from all those who participated in the public initiative of the Progetto Mediterranean “A flag for the Mediterranean”, ended tonight. The team that worked on the anonymous reception and cataloging of the many proposals received sweated seven shirts for the huge influx of applications. We had to buy a lot of Giga on the fly for our e-mail inbox, which was literally skipped for the crowding of emails sent to our address info@progettomediterranea.com.
Result: over 1000 flags arrived in time for the deadline of June 15th. Fantastic…

Now let’s give the commission time to select them. We will soon have the 4 finalists that we will have to vote for.

But already this first part of our initiative has hit the mark. We have moved our thoughts on the Mediterranean, our continent, the seventh continent. Our Common Home, often ignored or misunderstood, has received thoughts, reflections. Many people who have thought of shapes, meanings, colors.
So the goal is already largely achieved.

And now, very soon, we will vote for “The Flag”, the symbol of peace and inclusion, of coexistence of differences in a single identity, capable of making the Georgian and Portuguese brothers, Romanians with Jordanians, Montenegrins and Macedonians feel connected. , the Italians and the Greeks. Sons and fathers of the same sea, of the same common world.

Great emotion in Progetto Mediterranea, a group of life researchers, in love with their continent. Ordinary people, neither tycoons, nor stars, nor champions, but never resigned to being ordinary people. Able therefore to develop meaningful ideas and projects, capable of involving thousands of people and helping to reflect, learn, choose.
A great social project, as well as nautical, scientific and cultural. A project by Citizens of the Mediterranean.
See you soon then. Thank you all.
