Igniting Change: The Pillars of MDRE’s Mission

Leadership Incubator: Cultivating Young Visionaries At the heart of MDRE’s quest is the Young Civil Society Leaders Program, a hothouse nurturing the growth of 75 dynamic leaders. It’s a year-long journey where these young trailblazers sharpen their skills in advocacy and leadership, ready to step confidently into the Structured Dialogue arena and shape the conversation between the EU and Southern Neighbourhood’s civil society.

Conversations That Connect: Structured Dialogue Picture a table where every voice is heard, where CSOs from the Southern Mediterranean and EU officials hash out the issues that matter most: governance, rights, economic vitality, migration, and our planet’s future. This is the Structured Dialogue, an annual forum transforming talk into collective action.

The Framework of Support: Alliance with Framework Partners MDRE stands shoulder to shoulder with titans like the Arab Reform Initiative and the Norwegian Refugee Council. Together, they’re a united front, bolstering the Structured Dialogue, ensuring that the EU’s exchange with civil society isn’t just talk – it’s a symphony of diverse, influential voices.

Empowerment through Expertise: Support to the EU The flow of insight runs both ways. MDRE empowers the EU itself, guiding European Commission HQ and EU Delegations with customized tools and deep dives into civil society dynamics. They’re the EU’s think tank, a strategic partner translating regional understanding into global impact.
