Fund (FSN) which allowed the introduction of dynamic solutions to the problems linked to the lack of collective infrastructure in some areas. 547. These programmes have, besides, contributed effectively to the diversification of the regional economy, particularly through the development of new more modern cultural practices (irrigated and mechanized agriculture), the stimulation of private investment, the development of independent labour, the realization of collective equipment, etc. III- Protection of the Identity and Openness to the Universal 548. In the context of globalization, the distinctions between the national and international, the local and the global have become blurred. The explosion of the means of communication and information has deeply stirred national identities. For this reason, the culture that Tunisia covets to promote, the renewed construction of modernism is a culture which has its roots in its authentic civilizational heritage and particularly in the legacy of the enlightened Ijtihad and of the arabo-islamic rationalism, while being open on mankind in general and on the same level in the current world in order to fructify the recent scientific discoveries and the great potential of technology. 549. The culture of difference is unquestionably one of the principal purposes of the Tunisian educational system. According to Article 3 of the law n° 2002-80 of 23rd July 2002 relative to education and schooling « education has the aim of raising the pupils to be loyal to Tunisia and honest towards it, as well as to love the fatherland and be proud to belong to it. It re-affirms in them the consciousness of national identity and the feeling of belonging to a civilization at the national, Maghrebi, Arabic, Islamic, African and Mediterranean dimensions, whilst strengthening the openness to universal civilization ». 550. The orientation of the culture of difference is to develop a humanism based on critical and tolerant rationality. It has the objective of training the citizens who are proud of their citizenship and of developing in them capacities for analysis and judgement. It also aims at the openness toward the universal and at the same time toward the achievements of universal awareness. As humanity is one, and its fundamental values converge, any right to difference can only acquire authenticity through the aspiration to universality. It is for this reason that the diversity of cultures and the multiplicity of human expressions which are factors of mutual emulation and enrichment should not be transformed into obstacles which would preclude the development of a culture of values for progress, peace and human solidarity. The peculiarities should always be at the service of the concretization of universal human values. ARTICLE 23 The Right to Peace, Security and Solidarity 551.
