With the aim of raising awareness in the public opinion in Madrid on the current situation of development in the Middle East, the project has launched a series of initiatives whose main products have been: the holding of an international seminar and the publication of a report on the impact of revolutions on human development in the Middle East and the presence of the reality of development in the media.
The international seminar “The Arab Spring: The conflict in Syria. Actuality and Consequences” was held on June 6, 2013, at Casa Árabe in Madrid. Throughout the sessions, international personalities and experts on the subject conducted an analysis of the Syrian conflict, and addressed issues such as the internationalization of the conflict, due to the strategic situation of Syria in the Middle East and of this in the world, and the situation of refugees.
The study of the Syrian situation helped to know more about the country’s problems and to propose concrete solutions to it.
