Today we launched the Education Management Information System (EMIS)- together with UNESCO & the 🇮🇶 Ministry of Education. It will bring better data & help provide better services to thousands of schools. The EU supports EMIS with € 10M so the youth can fulfill its aspirations.

[Youssef Raggi @YoussefRaggi]

The Foreign Ministers of the member states of the Union for the Mediterranean approved the selection of the Lebanese city of Sidon and the Spanish city of Córdoba as “Mediterranean Capitals of Culture and Dialogue for 2027,” as part of a joint initiative between the Union and the Anna Lindh Euro-Mediterranean Foundation for Intercultural Dialogue.

The selection of Sidon is a good omen for Lebanon, especially as it coincides with the anticipated historic visit of His Holiness Pope Leo XIV. This step reaffirms Lebanon’s message as a country of dialogue, encounter, and openness.

Sidon, with its ancient history and vibrant spirit, underscores that Lebanon remains a space where East and West come together around the values of culture and peace.

[The Nobel Prize @NobelPrize]

This year’s chemistry laureate Omar Yaghi was born in Amman, Jordan, in 1965 to parents who were refugees from Palestine. When we spoke to him he shared his story:

“I grew up in a very humble home, we were a dozen of us in one room, sharing it with the cattle that we used to raise. I was born in a family of refugees, and my parents could barely read or write. My father finished sixth grade and my mother couldn’t read or write. It’s quite a journey. Science allows you to do it. Science is the greatest equalising force in the world.

Smart people, talented people, skilled people exist everywhere. That’s why we really should focus on unleashing their potential through providing them with opportunity.”

Today Yaghi shared the 2025 Nobel Prize in Chemistry with Susumu Kitagawa and Richard Robson for their work developing metal–organic frameworks.
