The renowned artist Frederic Amat was the author and responsible for the original painting that served as a poster for Mediterranean Day.
Mediterranean Day
The Mediterranean Day was established in 2020 by the 42 countries of the Union for the Mediterranean – the only international body in Barcelona, which brings together the 27 countries of the European Union and 15 coastal countries of the Mediterranean – to celebrate the common heritage and to bet on the dialogue between the cultures and the peoples of the region.
Celebrated every November 28, the date has a strong symbolic component given that on that day in 1995 all EU member countries and their neighbors in the South and East of the Mediterranean met for the first time and began the so-called Barcelona Process, a joint initiative to work for a Mediterranean of peace, shared prosperity and dialogue between peoples. The UfM secretariat is currently making sure to continue with the work started then.
