The Mediterranean Youth in Action (MYA) program strives to promote active citizenship in the Mediterranean region among young people, bridge the gap between generations, and encourage political participation. The program aims to engage committed young people through various activities and empower them as agents of positive change and responsible leaders.
With a genuine Euro-Mediterranean approach, MYA has three main goals:
empowering young people to shape public policy and engage with decision-makers and civil society
implementing transformative initiatives through participatory approaches
enhancing youth leadership in decision-making and coordination with peers in the Euro-Mediterranean space
Specifically, the MYA research assistant will support the Research Officer in carrying out the activities related to the Voicing Youth Knowledge project (VYK), which aims at energising young researchers on both shores of the Mediterranean to address Euro-Med issues.
The objective is to establish an evidence-based research programme to strengthen young researchers’ capacity to tackle Euro-Mediterranean issues with innovative solutions, enhance their critical thinking, debate, and problemsolving skills, and ensure proper dissemination and exploitation of results and overall outreach with Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) and broader audiences.
