UfM Med Youth Lab 2025: Call for Applications
The UfM Med Youth Lab 2025 is a skills-building programme focused on project development for Euro-Mediterranean youth aged 18–29. This dynamic initiative combines online training sessions throughout the summer of 2025 with an engaging three-day in-person workshop and final pitch event in Tirana, Albania during 29 September – 2 October 2025. Participants will collaborate closely with experts, mentors, and peers to create innovative projects addressing key issues that impact the Mediterranean region. Specifically, they will work under three thematic clusters related to youth engagement: climate adaptation, education to work, and peacebuilding. The programme empowers participants by equipping them with essential project management tools, leadership skills, and collaborative strategies to drive positive change in their communities and beyond.
Up to three of the project proposals drafted during this year’s edition will get the chance to join an online mentorship program delivered by UEMF Euromed Innovation Center.
The UfM Med Youth Lab 2025 is organised by the Union for the Mediterranean (UfM), with the support of the German Development Cooperation, in partnership with the Anna Lindh Foundation (ALF), the European Institute of the Mediterranean (IEMed), and the Euro-Mediterranean University of Fes (UEMF), with the institutional support of the Albanian Ministry of State for Youth and Children and the National Youth Agency of Albania.
