Youth make up the most numerous and, at the same time, most disadvantaged group in the Arab region in terms of visibility and employment. The opportunities for personal development of the young in these countries are, indeed, very limited, especially for women, particularly owing to social shortcomings in education and culture. The effects of globalisation, moreover, can be a double-edged sword, given that while providing tools to get to know other cultures, they can contribute to the increase of violence and terror. To avoid this, the young must become agents of cultural change and be able to participate critically at the heart of societies in the Arab world.

This is part of the Quaderns de la Mediterrània 11
Quaderns de la Mediterrània forms part of the series of projects of the European Institute of the Mediterranean (IEMed) that contribute to intercultural dialogue. This journal is the result of the will to contribute to research and study on the Mediterranean. Edited by the anthropologist Maria-Àngels Roque, the publication seeks to publicise the reality of the Mediterranean in current events such as migration, shifting values and the sociological, economic and political processes of the peoples that inhabit it and to be a forum of debate on the intercultural future of our societies. In each issue, Quaderns de la Mediterrània dedicates a central dossier to a key subject, as well as including articles on current events, a miscellany on cultural, anthropological and sociological aspects and a book review section.
