The Euro-Mediterranean Youth Action Program (Euro-Med)
The Euro-Med Youth program gives the 12 Mediterranean partner countries a
privileged position in third-country cooperation in the youth field. Its aim is
to facilitate the integration of young people into social and working life as
well as stimulating the democratic process of civil society in the Mediterranean
partner countries. Its more specific goal is also to improve mutual
understanding between young people around the Mediterranean basin, based on and
with a commitment to mutual respect, tolerance and dialogue between the various
cultures. Furthermore, it aims at increasing the importance of youth
organizations, developing active citizenship for young people (especially young
women), and promoting the exchange of information, experience and expertise
between actors in the youth field.

refer only to these countries.
