In Lebanon, the association "Offre Joie" is organizing from 15 to 26 July an activity for Lebanese children. The project "Enfants de tout le Liban" (Children from all over Lebanon) will consist of a number of educative excursions to different regions in Lebanon, during which the children will get to know their country.

From 11 to 25 July, the Moroccan association " Association des jeunes méditerranéens pour le développement au Rif " will gather 50 young people during its activity entitled "Rencontre EURO BERBERO MÉDITERRANÉENNE des Jeunes".
