In 10 years of existence the Africa e Mediterraneo association, in addition to the publication of the journal, has carried on a large series of cultural promotion activities; among the issues faced so far we can include European rights (Manifesta!), causes and conditions for immigration in the enlarged Europe (New arrivals), the research on intercultural actions in Europe (Interculture map) and common values between religions and secular thought (Common Values). Along with these projects we have realised educational materials and methodologies which have been thought as ideal tools to be used in schools.
In order to face these issues in a dynamic and accessible way we have chosen to use comics as main tool of our project. Comics allow indeed to communicate effectively quite complex and disussed topics and may easily involve students by stimulating their curiosity and creativity.

The association also promotes the "Africa e Mediterraneo award for the best unpublished comics strip by African author". It is the only panafrican award as it sees the participation of artists coming from almost all African countries.
