The Youth X Change programme addresses the critical issue of sustainability in the lifestyles of young people of the Mediterranean, particularly in terms of consumption habits.

Through the programme of YXC (already existing in 19 languages) will be enriched with Mediterranean relevant case studies, produced in the Arabic language and circulated to the Arab Mediterranean partner countries. A series of trainings will be conducted to train educators on how to integrate the YXC kits in their teachings. Finally, a set of teacher's instructions will be developed, based on the principles of Intercultural Education, highlighting North-South and South-South cooperation.
