The UfM Secretariat and the Lyc\u00e9e Fran\u00e7ais Barcelona have developed a UfM Model simulation programme called \u201cDIA\/Med – Les Dialogues pour la M\u00e9diterran\u00e9e de Barcelone\u201d<\/em>. More than 50 students from 12 nationalities at the Lyc\u00e9e Fran\u00e7ais participated today in this extracurricular activity in which students simulated a youth forum and presented their own regional cooperation projects from a youth perspective. They also played different roles including country representatives, non-governmental actors and journalists. The objectives of this pilot project, which aims to expand to other Mediterranean academic institutions, are to enhance the students\u2019 decision-making capabilities and raise awareness on the UfM\u2019s mission and regional cooperation initiatives.<\/p>\n

Over the previous weeks, UfM experts delivered five sessions in order to brief the students on current Mediterranean regional affairs, the UfM\u2019s priority areas and the projects labelled by the UfM Member States. They also learned the modus operandi of the UfM and how the institution works to enhance regional cooperation and integration through women\u2019s socio-economic empowerment, youth employability, inclusive growth and sustainable development. Some of the UfM projects presented by the experts included the Desalination Facility for the Gaza Strip<\/a> and the UfM initiatives promoting action against climate change<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The students put into practice the knowledge they had acquired about the UfM in today\u2019s final role-play session, where they also applied their skills in public diplomacy, debate and public speaking.<\/p>\n

This initiative offers a good opportunity for young students to understand the importance of regional cooperation, learn more about the Union for the Mediterranean and engage in key issues of concern to their generation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

\u2022The 1st edition of the UfM Youth Model stimulation programme was launched under the title \u201cDIA\/Med – Les Dialogues pour la M\u00e9diterran\u00e9e de Barcelone\u201d. More than 50 young participants from 12 nationalities presented their own projects and initiatives to enhance regional integration in the Mediterranean.
\n\u2022UfM experts had briefed the students on Euro-Mediterranean relations and regional cooperation initiatives through several thematic workshops since January 2017 and interacted with them during the final simumation day organised at the premises of the UfM Secretariat.
\n\u2022This UfM Youth Model stimulation programme aims to benefit a larger number of institutions across the Merditerranean region from next year with the aim to engage young people to discuss key issues of concern to their generation and exchange on promising opportunities for the region. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":42813,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[92,83],"tags":[],"priority-area":[205],"class_list":["post-41685","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-actualites","category-affaires-civiles-sociales","priority-area-social-civil-affairs-fr"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ufmsecretariat.org\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/41685","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ufmsecretariat.org\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ufmsecretariat.org\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ufmsecretariat.org\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ufmsecretariat.org\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=41685"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/ufmsecretariat.org\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/41685\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":42159,"href":"https:\/\/ufmsecretariat.org\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/41685\/revisions\/42159"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ufmsecretariat.org\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/42813"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ufmsecretariat.org\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=41685"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ufmsecretariat.org\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=41685"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ufmsecretariat.org\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=41685"},{"taxonomy":"priority-area","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ufmsecretariat.org\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/priority-area?post=41685"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
