The 6th edition of the MEM Summer Summit

The sixth edition of the MEM Summer Summit, organised by Università della Svizzera italiana, took place in Lugano between the 17th and 26th of August 2023. The Summit was composed of two parts: a nine-day Seminar and a one-day Forum. The 2023 edition saw 41 young change-makers, from 25 different countries, participating in the event, who were enthusiastic to have the chance to meet each other and to learn from the experience and knowledge of the speakers and experts. Furthermore, this year we had the opportunity to discuss and work on the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) Strategy of the Federal Department of Foreign Affairs (FDFA). The MENA Ambassadors and the MENA Division played a crucial role in guiding and sharing their experience with the young participants, giving them precious insights in the world of diplomacy. The Forum of the MEM Summer Summit 2023 opened with a series of keynote speeches delivered by institutional representatives and political leaders who highlighted the strategic and cultural importance of the Middle East Mediterranean region, characterised by its great diversity and cultural richness. Emphasis was placed on the vital role of collaborative projects and initiatives between the different stakeholders in the region to foster mutual understanding. Closing the MEM Forum 2023, the young change-makers presented thought-provoking future scenarios of the MEM regions elaborated during a MEM workshop in Morocco and further developed during the MEM Seminar 2023. These future scenarios are answers to the present challenges and bring forward visions, aspirations, and development pathways, in the hope to inspire new narratives of what tomorrow might hold.
