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.
