Since 2015, Med Youth has brought together between 80 and 100 young people from across the Mediterranean for seven major international gatherings, held in a different city each year. These multi-day events provide a space for engaged young people from diverse backgrounds and realities to meet, share experiences, challenge perspectives, and deepen their thinking. They build lasting connections, develop collaborations, and spark joint initiatives. More than just an exchange, these meetings foster a supportive Mediterranean community driven by the ambition to take action and transform the realities of their home regions.

Throughout the year, network members interact in multilingual online spaces (webinars, workshops, working groups) dedicated to the major issues affecting the region, their realities, and their actions. These dialogue spaces allow everyone to share their field experience, better understand the realities lived in other countries, and bring out and circulate ideas, practices, and solutions. A concrete way to learn from one another, structure knowledge, and strengthen skills useful for action!

Network members transform their discussions and analyses into collective action. Together, they make a Mediterranean youth voice heard by the general public, the non-profit sector, and decision-makers. This ambition takes the form of thematic campaigns designed and led by members around issues they define themselves. The first campaign, "Mob In Med: make your voice heard on the obstacles to youth mobility in the Mediterranean!," advocates for fairer, more accessible, and more inclusive mobility in the region. For a year and a half, young Mediterranean people shared their experiences, developed recommendations, created awareness tools, and built a collective advocacy campaign. Together, they presented their findings and proposals to highlight the inequalities in movement affecting Mediterranean youth and called for concrete changes in practices and public policies. Together, the youth are taking action!
