Back Seminar 'Empowerment of youth organisations and youth-led civil society initiatives in the South-Mediterranean framework', March 2012, Malta

Seminar "Empowerment of youth organisations and youth-led civil society initiatives in the South-Mediterranean framework"

22-24 March 2012, Malta

This seminar was organised by the EU-CoE youth partnership in cooperation with Maltese Youth Agency (Aġenzija Żgħażagħ), League of Arab States, North-South Centre of the Council of Europe and the Euromed Youth Platform.

The majority of the 60 participants were young leaders from Southern Mediterranean countries, -mainly Tunisia, Egypt and Morocco -, as well as multipliers of European youth organisations, representatives of the organisers and other stakeholders (UNFPA, Anna Lindh Foundation).

Main aim of the seminar was to provide youth non-governmental organisations and stakeholders with the opportunity to reflect upon recent developments and their implications as regards the empowerment and participation of young people. At the same time, the seminar was seen as the first step of a renewed youth policy cooperation taking into account the window of opportunity resulting from political changes in the aftermath of Arab spring in a number of countries. 

A number of issues that have been repeatedly raised by young Arab leaders and stakeholders were the following:

  • Stakeholders should go beyond the level of analysis of Arab spring and act quickly in order to support (youth) civil society initiatives and progressive forces to establish inclusive democracies;
  • A majority of young people who contributed to the developments of Arab spring was not anymore participating in the transition to democratic societies: they did not vote in recent elections and do not feel represented by traditional parties;
  • With many civil society movements focusing on the competition over participation in power, other relevant issues such as human rights or equal opportunities risk of losing prominence.

 The proposals gathered from young people at this seminar will feed in a youth policy symposium in Tunisia (28-29 August 2012) which aims at enabling a structured dialogue between young people and (youth) policy makers.

Opening session: addresses by representatives of the organising institutions:

Session: realities of youth participation during and after the Arab Spring in Arab and European countries.
