The assumed subject for this edition is: Youth, social inclusion and development in the Mediterranean area.
The Meeting will focus on the connection between development and inclusion, that is sustainable development on a social and environmental level.
This relation will be analysed on an intra-national level, connecting development to democracy and equality (the topics of democratic participation, social equality, promotion of inclusive work, access to education, etc.), as well as an international level, focusing on symmetric cooperation, that is, co-development. Participants are called to consider their role and responsibility as young people in the creation of development in their own countries as well as in relation to others, and to ask themselves what they can actually do, what kind of mutual support they can give each other.
MeYouMe provisional programme includes 3 residential workshop days and 1 public convention day.
Please, for the updated version of the program refer to the ITALIAN version.
We will update all other language version in the next hours
