A Tribute to Wisdom and Harmony

The choice of the name Ashteret is not insignificant. It is inspired by Astarte, the great Phoenician goddess of fertility, wisdom, and war, revered in the ancient world for her role in transmitting knowledge and the quest for harmony.

In the spirit of this deity associated with light, knowledge, and the protection of peoples, Ashteret aims to be a space for reflection, dialogue, and intellectual renewal.

• Like Astarte, who connected several cultures (Phoenician, Egyptian, Mesopotamian), our forum seeks to build bridges between the Arab and Western worlds, between modernity and cultural heritage.
• She was a figure of balance and mediation, both warrior and peacemaker. Similarly, Ashteret aims to be a space for the confrontation of ideas, but always in a quest for harmony and mutual understanding.
• Astarte was also a deity of knowledge and emancipation, mirroring our project, which fights against obscurantism, dogmas, and extremism.

By integrating this symbolic heritage, Ashteret is not limited to a simple intellectual forum: it is a true laboratory of ideas, a space where critical thinking, tolerance, and knowledge are the pillars of a more enlightened and just society.
