With this article we will attempt to add some elements of reflection on the connection between the youth association movement and the development of citizenship from the perspective of youth organisations and work. Although it is clear that there are important differences between the realities of the Euro-Mediterranean area, we would also like to highlight some common elements seen in the development of strategies of cooperation between youth bodies at the Euro-Mediterranean level.
Thus, since 2004, the Consell Nacional de la Joventut de Catalunya has consolidated its cooperation strategy with other youth councils in Southern Europe and with youth organisations in MEDA countries. This cooperation includes elements of meeting, exchange and training among youth leaders and educators of these organisations, as well as the promotion of networks between organisations that can create free and democratic youth councils.

This journal is the result of the will to contribute to research and study on the Mediterranean.
