We Are AMWAJ
In Arabic, the word AMWAJ literally means “waves” and here it symbolizes the waves of water and energy, the ebb and flow of history back and forth across the sea, the movement of people and goods, and the positive potential for investments and building momentum together.
AMWAJ is inspired by the tremendous potential for a water and energy community to emerge around the Mediterranean, building on strong communication skills and a growing network of journalists, researchers, civil society and policymakers.
We are committed to our mission of developing high-quality content and tools to enhance impactful communication about water and ecosystems in the Mediterranean. We envision a Mediterranean region where deep connections emerge to foster collaboration for more constructive narratives. We serve as the bridge, connecting the dots, and facilitating more effective and improved communication regarding Mediterranean ecosystems.
To realize this vision, we engage in a diverse range of activities, from hosting events and fundraising campaigns to producing insightful podcasts. Additionally, we offer a variety of communication services to our members and partners, ensuring that our community is well-equipped to drive positive change and conservation efforts in this vital region.
