The possibilities that programmes like Youth in Action can offer in the field of international cooperation and promotion of youth active participation have been explained, like for example cultural exchanges, the European Voluntary Service (EVS), training courses etc.

Strengthening the participation of local and civil society actors, creating closer synergies within the Countries from the two sides of Mediterranean Sea and promoting the youth participation to civil and democratic life in their communities are only some of the main goals to reach, in order to develop a stronger politicy of cohesion within the Mediterranean area.
