International Conference: "EU Neighbourhood policy and Migrations: The role of the "Youth in Action" and "Euromed Youth III" programmes"

The EU main concern has been the active role of their members in the recovering of the Mediterranean Area as a space for peace and cooperation. Today Canary Islands is one of the place where illegal migration is more acute and for this reason the venue will offer a good starting point for debating on this thorny issue.
