YMV Trip to Lapland, 2-4 December 2019
Asma, Samir, Anas, Vilma and Ariana from Libya, France, Jordan, Finland and Spain, traveled North to the land of Santa Claus to take part in the very first Euro-Mediterranean dialogue encounter of its kind in Lapland. Organised in association with the Finnish Presidency of the European Council and the flagship "Young Mediterranean Voices" debate programme, the dialogue encounter showcased pioneering intercultural dialogue methodologies developed across the Middle East, North Africa and Europe. The dialogue, hosted at the University of Lapland, also exposed the interconnected nature of issues debated in Northern Europe with those debated across the Mediterranean region from migration and climate resilience to cultural identity and social inclusion.
