Throughout March, EU Jeel Connectors across Algeria, Morocco, Libya, Egypt, and Tunisia organised a wide range of events under EU MedBridge and EU Jeel Connect, bringing EU programmes closer to youth across the region.

The month opened with reflective and empowering discussions: an online session on redefining success and avoiding hustle culture (March 1), followed by “Women’s Impact: Building the Future” in Algiers (March 7) and an EU Jeel Iftar & Quiz Night in Rabat (March 7) blending EU-values games with a shared Ramadan meal. An online innovation workshop (March 8) then helped young people turn everyday challenges into structured, EU-supported projects.

International Women’s Day was widely marked across the region: “She Leads the Way” in Kenitra (March 8) featured a panel with Erasmus+ Morocco’s Director, while Tripoli hosted “She Research” (March 10) exploring women’s access to education and research, and Albayda’s “Women in Balance” (March 10) focused on mental health and well-being. Rania Afifi followed up with a dedicated Erasmus+ session for health professionals in Rabat (March 11).

The final stretch focused on sustainability and skills-building: an “Empower Green Ramadan Iftar” in Zamalek (March 14) tackled climate action and zero-waste living, an Oujda workshop (March 16) introduced students to AI tools for scientific writing, and Tunis closed the month with an Iftar Info Session (March 17) connecting young people with EU-funded initiatives like Fe3il.a, Maghroum’IN, Greenov’i, Erasmus+, and Creative Tunisia.

Across every event, Erasmus+ and other EU-funded opportunities were consistently highlighted — connecting young people to pathways for mobility, training, and professional growth.
