Mediterranea • Info & Charity Event

In the summer of 2018 the idea of Mediterranea was born; born out of indignation over the thousands of deaths in the Mediterranean and the closed-port policy.

In a very short time, people and associations working together in a civil society platform organised and put to sea the first and, as yet, only civil rescue vessel flying the Italian flag.

On the night of 3rd-4th October 2018, exactly 5 years after the tragic shipwreck where more than 360 people died off the coast of Lampedusa, the Mare Jonio set sail from the port of Augusta on its first monitoring and rescue mission.

Over the years Mediterranea has grown more and more and has become an Association of Social Promotion (APS). Today it is made up of sea and land crews with thousands of active members in more than 40 territories in Italy, Europe and the United States.

With the escalation of international tensions and Italian and European migration policies, Mediterranea has been reaching out to migrants along their routes by also organising land missions both on the Occupied Territories in the West Bank, in the Ukraine war scenario and Italian borders.

Join us for a charity evening with good music, drinks and snacks, an evening where you can support a great cause!
