Panelists discussed the role of youth as vehicle for change in Europe as well as in the wider Euro-Mediterranean region. They talked about how citizens of various EU Member States and countries from the Southern rim of the Mediterranean understand citizenship education and active citizenship, what matters to youth around the Euro-Mediterranean and how they could be better motivated to engage (outside the comfort of their smartphones) on public issues that matter to them such as climate change, migration, international exchanges and other. The discussion focused also on how citizenship education could be better integrated in national (and international) curricula to enable a considerable amount of young people from the region to work towards what they consider their future.
The event resulted in Policy Recommendations and Curricula Recommendations as deliverables in the framework of the MedHub project.
