The EU-funded Net-Med Youth project was presented as an example of best practice to address challenges faced by youth at a session focusing on examining the economic, social and political challenges faced by youth during the Mediterranean Conference of the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE), held in Vienna earlier this month.
The session examined the economic, social and political challenges that youth face both North and South of the Mediterranean. These include the insufficient participation of youth and women in the public and political sphere and in mainstream media and youth unemployment rates. Discussing ways to improve the lives of youth, the session provided a detailed explanation of the NET-MED Youth project.
NET-MED Youth aims to improve the access and effective participation of young people in mainstreaming their priorities into legislation and national planning in the Southern Mediterranean Partner countries. Specifically, it aims to build the capacities of youth organisations in ENP South countries and to enhance networking among them in order to reduce the fragmentation of efforts and harness the collective potential of young people in achieving democratic transition towards active citizenship, political participation and social inclusion.
