History in the Mediterranean region is rich and goes back to thousands of years. However, History can be a prison or a school depending on the approach of the observer. Also, history is first and foremost about facts and memories that are transmitted through various vectors from generation to generation.
Within the actual complex geopolitical context, our intention is to build a positive future based on shared values and mutual exchange. The role of the youth as partners in our respective countries is essential as a creative & dynamic actor in lifestyle and culture.
A platform such as KAMSYN is an example of such positive initiatives that can contribute to extend the youths regional networks through coverage of cultural events, initiatives, festivals as well as organizing unique travel events & exchanges.
