EuroMediterranean Youths: from indignation to contribution

Seminar

The wave of protestations that happened around Mediterranean ,in southern and nothern shore, around Arab Spring and "Indignados" movement, ask us to reflect about the roots of those uprisings and about youth expectations and claims.

We thought it will be interesting during a 3 days seminar to try to understand what has occured and to try thanks to the help of european youth program to bring some solutions to youth expectations around Mediterranean. But even youth programs exist we know that they can be improved so participants will also work on proposition for the futur to better tackle the need of euromediterranean youths
