The 4th edition of the MedUni will take place between 1-8 May, at the Centre de vacances et de loisirs pour enfants du Ministère Tunisien pour les Femmes, la Famille et les Enfants in Hammamet (Tunisia) and it will gather around 150 youth activists and workers from Europe and Mediterranean regions in at least six different activities. 

The Mediterranean University on Youth and Global Citizenship (MedUni) is one of the flagship events of the Euro-Arab and Mediterranean Youth co-operation programme of the North-South Centre (NSC) of the Council of Europe. It is also the youngest university of the Network of Universities on Youth and Global Citizenship facilitated by the NSC in partnership with other relevant stakeholders from Europe and the Southern Mediterranean. 

The 4th edition will be organised in cooperation with the National Youth Observatory of Tunisia and in partnership with the League of Arab States, the Youth Department of the Council of Europe, the EU-CoE youth partnership, the European Youth Forum, the Italian National Youth Forum, the Catalan National Youth Council and other youth organisations.

The MedUni is an open space where democratic and global citizenship competences can be developed in a demand-driven environment responding to the needs of young people. The core aim of the MedUni is to support youth organisations and activists with a view to improving their capacity to become fully-fledged actors of governance in Europe and Southern Mediterranean regions. In parallel, mobilising quadrilogue actors contributes to the political mainstreaming of youth related issues, increasing youth participation. It also promotes coordination and increased synergies between relevant partners, bolstering the regional dimension to stimulate south-south cooperation.

The 4th edition of the Mediterranean University on Youth and Global Citizenship will be organised under the joint theme: “Connecting identities”. If you are an youth-led or youth-serving organisation who might be interested in bringing a small activity to be organised in the framework of this University, please contact us  by 18th March to learn more about the possibilities for this or other editions.
