2023 UfM Youth Event: Youth engagement for a sustainable and inclusive Mediterranean
9 November 2023, Barcelona – The Union for the Mediterranean (UfM) is hosting the 2023 UfM Youth Event: Youth Engagement for a Sustainable Mediterranean at the Palau Pedralbes in Barcelona, Spain. The event will take place within the framework of the third edition of the Mediterranean Youth Academy (MYA) and will include the presentation of the UfM Youth Agenda: Call for Action.
The event is a forum for leaders, international organisations, civil society organisations, and young people who will discuss three critical obstacles affecting the region: (i) green and digital transition challenges, (ii) youth employability, and (iii) social inclusion.
The event will revolve around four main objectives:
- Presentation of the UfM Youth Agenda: Call for Action. This call for action, integral to UfM Youth Strategy 2030, will be introduced, guiding actionable steps for youth empowerment in the Euro-Mediterranean region.
- Sharing Mediterranean Youth Academy insights. Key findings from the third edition of the event will be shared, showcasing innovative solutions proposed by young minds.
- Facilitating dialogue. The event fosters meaningful conversations between young Euro-Mediterranean individuals, decision-makers, and other international stakeholders.
- Empowering youth through civil society organisations. The role of civil society organisations in shaping empowered youth as change agents will be explored. These organisations are instrumental to nurturing proactive youth leaders.
