Mediterranean Youth Camp ATLANTIS
Since its first edition in 2005, Atlantis has gathered hundreds of young adults from across the Mediterranean region. It now stands as a referential meeting point and a platform for intercultural exchange among youth, who are seen as the real agents of behavioural change both for the present and the future of our communities. Aiming to be an apportunity for cross cultural exchange and dialogue, as well as for the sharing of experiences beyond borders, the overall objective of the Camp is to use intercultural dialogue as a tool to build young volunteers' capacities as agents for positive change within multicultural societies, counteracting stereotypes and discrimination.
