About us:

MEDITER is the product of an European funded project “Women for Change” funded in 2011, but above all is the product of cooperative efforts developed over many years of work by various partners working in the Mediterranean region to reduce the imbalances, conflicts, develop forms of solidarity and cooperation.

MEDITER strives to have a double impact: on the EU institutions and on populations (especially young women) in Mediterranean countries. MEDITER aims to build a new local leadership in the Mediterranean region and promotes the strategic role of human resources by linking cultures, knowledge and skills. It also aims at boosting cultural exchanges between the countries bordering the Mediterranean, based on their common cultural heritage. It allows synergies between local and global actors.

It reinforces the construction of a regional identity, supports a dialectical relationship between Europe and the Mediterranean.

In this context, MEDITER promotes the development of cooperation relations between the Mediterranean countries with the conviction that such relations are a priority for the development of a common horizon of civilization. That’s why Mediter solicits for membership, the local authorities, NGOs, foundations, universities, small businesses and nonprofit organizations at the local and international level.

Moreover, MEDITER values the strategic role of human resources in linking cultures, knowledge and skills. 

It aims, in addition, to stimulate socio-cultural exchange between the countries bordering the Mediterranean by relying on the common cultural heritage.

Objectives of the network:

The network aims at continuous training and production services to the local Mediterranean stakeholders in the framework of EU programs, in collaboration with existing networks actives in the area.

The association aims to:

– Improve the Euro-Mediterranean cooperation in the economic, social, political and cultural fields with special attention paid to the establishment, support and strengthening women’s leadership in the Mediterranean Basin, including at the civil society organizations level;

– Create a network of actors that may promote the sharing and transfer of
knowledge, strategic skills and innovative good practices in the Euro-Mediterranean area;

– Initiate a process of co-development between countries on both shores of the
Mediterranean, through a support to public and private stakeholders for better strategic planning considering gender approach;

– Education to the prospective approach to implement solutions and sustainable human development livable integrated policies on both sides of the Mediterranean.
