Seminar 'Euro-Arab youth policy co-operation in the broader Euro-Mediterranean context'

1-3 June 2010, Sharm El Sheikh (Egypt)

The seminar aimed at mutual exchange of knowledge and update of information about youth policy developments and development of the competences of Arab and European youth policy experts by exploring and learning together the "essentials" of youth policy and how they are and could be practiced in European and "Mediterranean" countries. It is expected to have a clear multiplying effect by helping to build a group of experts based on a shared understanding of youth policy and youth research.

This builds on the needs previously identified in the EU-CoE youth partnership for building up knowledge and experience in youth policy, and also on the conclusion of the Arab Human Development Report which, among others, places emphasis on the development of policies that are inclusive of young people.

The seminar brought together civil servants, leaders in non-governmental youth organisations, and youth researchers.
