The second youth workshop focused on The Role of Youth in a renewed social and cultural interaction in the Greater Mediterranean Area. This workshop was organized by the Fondazione Mediterraneo together with the Euro-Mediterranean Youth Platform and with the Italian Minister of Foreign Affairs.

After the great success of last year event, the Fondazione Mediterraneo has considered very important and essential to organize again this event which focuses on young people coming from Euro-Mediterranean, East Europe, and Arab countries. The workshop took place at the Vesuvio Hall of the Fondazione Mediterraneo in Via Depretis 130, Naples.

The young participants were asked to discuss on topics such as the intercultural dialogue in the Euro-Mediterranean and Arab world, the role of youth in this dialogue and the opportunities deriving form it.

The President of Fondazione Mediterraneo Michele Capasso inaugurated the meeting. The Plenipotentiary Ministry Cosimo Risi, the Director of the Euro-Med Youth Platform Giovanni Buttigieg, the President of the Study Center and European Initiatives Ce.S.I.E. ONLUS Vito La Fata and the Vice-President of the Regione Campania Antonio Valiante attended the meeting to discuss with the young participants.

The participants were asked to write a final document gathering together all the good initiatives concerning the intercultural dialogue and proposed by themselves. As it has always done, the Fondazione Mediterraneo acts like the main instrument to develop dialogue and confront between the Mare Nostrum populations so to truly build a peaceful future and shared prosperity.
