Organised by the European Commission since 2006, the European Development Days (EDD) bring several international actors together each year to share ideas and experiences in ways that inspire new partnerships and innovative solutions to the world’s most pressing challenges. This year, the theme of women and equality is in the spotlight.

Among the many activities and workshops that are held, we have selected those that deal with themes that may interest members of the Foundation’s Network or with a particularly useful approach for the Euro-Mediterranean region: 

- Young Mediterranean Voices: Women, dialogue and digitally-enabled peacebuilding - Leveraging the work of young women peacebuilders - Wednesday June 6, 2018
