The 2011 edition of MeYouMe took place in Cosenza bringing together 200 youths from 18 different Countries. On this occasion, the MANY Network was launched – “Mediterranean Autonomous Network for Youth”.
The Fondazione Mediterraneo has supported this initiative through its programme of activities at the Mediterranean  youth centre.
It was a good example of synergy between the Italian Network of the Anna Lindh Foundation and its “Youth Network Minister of Labour”, who contributed to the success of the initiative.
President Capasso participated in the work reiterating the values and activities carried out by the Anna Lindh Foundation and the Italian Network (Rete Italiana). The Ministry of Labour promoted this initiative through an advertising campaign on major TV channels.

MeYouMe is all about meeting – an adventure on a return voyage – between  an I and a YOU, between ME and YOU! 
It is where the green of the earth meets the blue of the sea.
The sea is the Mediterranean: a crossroads for people, travel, economic exchange and cultural interaction. The earth is made of peoples, faces and the stories narrating the history of this sea, a sea they traverse and inhabit.
