Carthage Academic Services, Inc. is founded by a Tunisian group of academics and scholars dedicated to the enhancement of cross cultural learning and exchange.

Because of the founders’intellectual and cultural background, the organization’s preferred, though by no means restricted, audiences are students and adult learners from the Western and Arab Islamic worlds.

Also, the founders’ particular focus on these two great world cultures stems from the sad observation that they have often been historically at variance if not in open conflict.

Today, it is no exaggeration to say that mistrust and misunderstanding run so deep that the very idea of dialogue seems to have become difficult even to envisage.

This breakdown of communication, due to accumulated misapprehension from both sides, has become one of the many factors that are threatening world peace.

And as mutual suspicion and hostility deepen — exacerbated by certain imprudent policies and certain mass media— dialogue and the ongoing exchange of ideas and people appear to be the surest means to restore confidence, rebuild the channels of communication, and establish lasting relations of trust and understanding.

Finally, Carthage Academic Services believes that the fair distribution of the fruits of the global information and communication technology revolution depends to a large extent on the cultivation and enhancement of the dialogue between East and West; and all of CASE activities and aspirations tend towards the realization of this objective.
