EUROMEDITERRANEA 2025
NONVIOLENCE & RESISTENCE
This year the central theme of Euromediterranea has been the "spirit of collaboration and dialogue" that animates some Palestinian and Israeli volunteers in addressing, through nonviolent methods, their decades-long conflict in territories such as the West Bank, characterized by serious violations of international law.
