Euro-Med Youth Programme:
The programme is open for individuals, groups of young people, youth workers and local authorities in countries signatories to the Barcelona Declaration.
The aims of the Programme are the integration of young people in social and professional life, and ensuring the democratic process in civil society. This can be achieved by stimulating active citizenship within local communities, encouraging participation of youth and their organisations, and developing the employability of young people.
