A collective response to a regional challenge

In the Mediterranean, according to the International Labour Organization, more than one in three young people is NEET—neither in employment, education, nor training. With unemployment rates exceeding 40% in Tunisia and approaching 30% in Spain and Italy, opportunities are scarce and often poorly suited to local realities.

In response to this situation, the MedNC Network takes concrete action by placing young people at the heart of its mission, supporting grassroots stakeholders, and fostering dialogue and synergies. New prospects for Mediterranean youth are emerging.
