Karmouz cultural walks guide book

The central question of this book is about how culture and human potentials can become a tool to empower the local community and a way for visitors to discover the character of the place through “Culture walks” itineraries. These pages are the result of this collaborative exchange between Urbego and ElMadina for Performing and Digital Arts. The booklet results from a participatory mapping workshop that took place in Alexandria in April 2016 and involved 25 participants from 5 different southern and northern Mediterranean countries (Egypt, Lebanon, France, Greece, and Italy). The participants had different professional backgrounds ranging from architects, urban planners, artists, researchers, civil society activists. It also involved inhabitants of Karmouz neighborhood, and community-based organizations.
