This discussion takes place at the City Hall of Brussels.

Young Mediterranean Leaders (YML) is first and foremost an exclusive network and a platform for
reflection and action that brings together young Mediterranean leaders,
from the political, economic, cultural and academic spheres. They all
share the desire to build an integrated and solidary region, through
concrete initiatives they can develop together. Their
goal is to bridge the two shores of the Mediterranean, on the basis of

decision-makers. The creation of YML in 2008 was based on the
observations that it is urgent to build the Mediterranean outside of
speeches and that this development should be spearheaded by the new
generation of leaders. Their mission is to enable the future
decision-makers to meet so they can know each other, build ties and
favour a euro-mediterranean rapprochement.
With this event the YML intends to extend its network to Belgium and its influence to the European institutions. This discussion will take place with Belgian personalities such as
