The first UfM webinar gathered different youth representatives to highlight the Euro-Mediterranean Youth voluntary response during the Coronavirus crisis
14 May 2020. How are youth volunteers responding to COVID-19? How are local or regional organisations in the Euro-Mediterranean region mobilizing youth to respond to the pandemic? To answer these questions and many more, the UfM gathered different youth voluntary organisers including international, regional and local organisations and NGOs from the ufM Member States.
The webinar called “the Euro-Mediterranean Youth voluntary response to the COVID-19 crisis” saw the opening of the UfM Secretary General, Nasser Kamel who stressed the fact that youth are “the most affected, as they are the most active in the society in terms of productivity, mobility and interaction so this crisis was disruptive in terms of their lifestyle and prospects for their future”. On the other hand, the Secretary General expressed how he was “extremely impressed” by the way the youth in our region “have responded to this pandemic, in terms of digital activity and coming up with new solutions to make the economic life possible during the confinement.”
