General Information
The Euro-Med Movement is coordinated by: a) Governing Board made up of professionals, university students and young workers, b) a number of volunteers that implement projects and activities through the setting up of ad hoc project teams. Budgetary resources depend mostly on sponsorships and direct funds by the European Commission in relation to projects themselves which include seminars, meetings, training courses and publications. The Euro-Med Movement is affiliated to international networks such as United against racism, Euro-Med platform and a list of partners throughout the region.
Mission and Objectives

The Movement’s aims and objectives are listed in a manifesto encompassing the main principles on which it is founded. It pays particular attention to issues of Freedom, Equality and Solidarity. Through its operations and statements, the Euro-Med Movement tries to foster a sense of unity and peace within society, including policy-makers and young people. It works through regional cooperation in the Mediterranean and likewise is in favour of strengthening ties between the European Union and all countries bordering this region. The EMM encourages the implementation of regional cooperation projects that are financed by the European Union and other institutions.

Main Projects / Activities

In order to achieve its goals, the Euro-Med Movement takes an active role by organising local and European-wide seminars for young people on topical issues such as social tension and conflict in the Euro-Med region. It also issues regular press-statements on current affairs, whilst holding meetings with political and diplomatic corps to voice the Movement’s concern on sensitive areas principally on matters of foreign policy. On a local level, it empowers young people to take part in exchanges hosted by European and Mediterranean partners, as well as disseminating information related to the European Union.
