Our Mission
The Mediterranean Youth Council is the natural space where young people from various countries and religious traditions come together to get to know one another, share experiences and ideas, and develop a common project.
What the Council is
A space for encounter and a common project
Continuing the spirit of the Bishops’ meetings in Bari and Florence, young people gather to build bridges across the Mediterranean through shared experiences, ideas, and dialogue.
This project reflects the organic relationship between the ecclesial communities that have appointed them, as they jointly design and carry out initiatives with the people and communities of the Mare Nostrum.
What we do
What happens in the Council
