JOUSSOUR: A sparkling conclusion

The Joussour project came officially to an end last December 2013. The 28 months of cooperation in the TV co-production field were crowned through some successful promotional events.

The 12 docu-mags series devoted to the environmental challenges in the Mediterranean basin has been already aired, since its achievement, on several channels, from Spain to Italy, from Tunisia to Slovenia, including the Gulf area, thanks to the ASBU members from Bahrain and Yemen, as far as nothing less than Australia!

Conceived for TV screens and for the web, the series was realized by young directors from different Mediterranean countries, and promoted in numerous international occasions: in September, at Prix Italia, where the docu-mag Blasted Flies in the Jordan Valley – produced by the Jordanian television JRTV with the executive production of RAI – was awarded with the special prize Prize “Expo 2015 Feeding the Planet, Energy for Life”; in Valencia, in the framework of the 2013 European Cooperation Days, namely, in a film festival dedicated to the topics of cooperation and neighbourhood; in Rome, on November 28, in the closing press conference organised at Rai premises and during which the results and the coproduction trailer were presented to the invited journalists and personalities.
In January 2014, Joussour was also presented at an international level in the occasion of the capitalisation event organised once again in Valencia by the ENPI CT MED Programme and related to the best practices and challenges each project could bring with a view to fostering cross-fertilisation, synergies and impact between other initiatives supported by the EU.
