Welcome to the UfM page dedicated to Human Stories of the Mediterranean!

As its name indicates, our stories are centered on humans and humans only. Our inspiration comes from UfM projects and initiatives implemented on the ground: from partners collaborating daily with us to project promoters and beneficiaries, these Human Stories aim at giving a well-deserved spotlight to all the actors working tirelessly to make the Mediterranean a better place for all.

Stories are a powerful tool to convey messages and experiences in a simple manner free of technical jargon and endless acronyms. Stories are meant to be accessible and understandable to all, in addition to being entertaining!

We thus invite you to wander through them and read on. Don’t hesitate to drop us a message if you enjoy your reading, and if a story made you smile, share it on your social networks with the hashtag #MedMeSmile. Help us flood the internet with more positive and uplifting stories on our threads!
