Euro-Mediterranean Campuses are international multi-disciplinary workshops serving a region, involving approximately fifteen students and young professionals from around Europe and Mediterranean countries.

The campuses grew out of, three basic ideas:

- Apprenticeship : practical teaching and training that is focussed on the region and its land.
Practical professional experience is essential in the area of heritage restoration and development. One of the Campus objectives is to provide students with their first experience in the field, for a duration of one month.

- Solidarity : a practical workshop
The campuses are also an opportunity to contribute brainpower on a voluntary basis to educational workshops that meet the need of a local community.
Intercultural adventure: promoting European citizenship, cultural plurality and collaboration between individuals.

Campuses are intended for:

- young Europeans pursuing studies in various heritage-linked disciplines – in the widest sense, including sociology, law, etc. – who have completed a minimum of two year’s training in their chosen field.

- young people from the local community who are pursuing professional training in areas linked to local heritage and who are looking for job opportunities.

The Campuses are held during students’ summer holidays
