Animed, a Committed Vision of Sustainable Development
A Tunisian platform serving international cooperation, territories, and communities
Our History
Animed was founded in 2017 by a collective of Tunisian experts and academics with the objective of transferring the paradigm of “Mediterranean identity” into the region’s cultural discourse.
Activities began with the management of the first wine route labeled “Iter Vitis,” part of the European Commission’s Cultural Routes program, through the project “Itinéraire de Magon.”
Over time, Animed expanded its scope to projects related to culture, heritage, agriculture, cultural management, and sustainable tourism, positioning itself within a framework of regional and Mediterranean cooperation.
