After the inspiring light festival in the Medina of Tunis – “Interference” – in September last year, SEE DJERBA is now the second project of the Tunisian-German collective. Site-specific artworks and light installations will feature selected sites and the special architecture of the island capital Houmt Souk. Inhabitants and tourists can deeply immerse in the so special culture of the island and experience the creativity of an international community. SEE DJERBA is a sustainable art and culture tourism project which promotes the exchange between Tunisian and German artists and thus has the potential to become an annual festival of art on the popular holiday island.

Djerba Insolite

This being able to be reached by
the cultural, social and economic promotion of the island,
the protection of its ecology, its urbanistic and architectural specificity traditional.

It proposes :
To promote and encourage all Studies and investigations.
To use all the means of information and diffusion.
To organizes periodic or occasional meetings.
In general to cause and undertake all actions being able to contribute directly or indirectly to the concretization of the objectives of Association

Why ?
Taken action, by Association for the Backup of the island of Djerba incur within the broader framework of the efforts, which tend to promote the island.  Article II of its statutes stipulates that it has the aim of working for the integrated development of the island and this by the backup of its characteristics (represented by Its inheritance) of its socio-economic organization, its landscape and generally of the multiple assets of its past.  Perhaps it would be convenient to recall, in order to raise any ambiguity, which it claims to replace no organization, which it is official or voluntary, having for mission of promoting Djerba.  It hears according to case’s, to take part in the actions under consideration by these organizations, to sensitize them with the noticed insufficiencies, to propose actions to them or to simply to present them suggestions and opinions circonstenciés on specific subjects.  We thus locate our intervention as promotion of the island of Djerba at the same time at the level of the individual or common action, of the sensitizing of the proper authorities and the consulting.

As a research Master’s Student in Heritage, I have also a professional Master’s Degree in Hospitality Management and an Applied Management License in Tourism Products. I also take a long leadership experience by working with many associations in Djerba and now i’m the assistant Secretary General of ASSIDJE. By working with international artists, i gain a new understanding of my personal heritage, culture and values. Additionally, I become more independent, self-reliant, and self-confident as I learn to navigate and live comfortably in a different culture. As a result, it’s easier for me to form partnerships and work effectively to tackle global or multinational challenges. But also, develop my professional skills and my leadership experience.
