Mediterranean Youth Development Empowerment Action Lab (MYDEAL)

The Mediterranean Youth Development Empowerment Action Lab (MYDEAL) was created to address developmental challenges faced by youth in the MENA region, including economic disparities, limited educational access, and social instability. This initiative focuses on empowering youth workers (trainers, mentors, leaders) aged 20–35 by equipping them with tools to foster civic, economic, and social engagement among young people. MYDEAL employs a multidisciplinary, scalable approach combining European best practices with local sensitivities to promote inclusive growth. The pilot edition in 2024 aims to engage 20 youth workers, laying the groundwork for a long-term initiative that supports sustainable youth participation and development across the Mediterranean.
