Regardless of their legal status, people are always rights holders, also when they are on the move, and are entitled to protection. The rights of these individuals are not left behind once they cross a border. 

In this regard, Mediterranean National Societies carry out different actions to ensure safety, dignity and well-being of the people on the move.

The Centre for the Cooperation in the Mediterranean following the resolutions of the Mediterranean Conference, supports National Societies through strengthening their capacities in the field of migration. Indeed, the CCM in promotes spaces for collaboration and exchanges to reinforce technical skills among volunteers and staff from the National Societies of the Mediterranean involved in migration programmes.

The Centre for the Cooperation in the Mediterranean is also actively engaging with relevant actors in the RCRC movement to ensure coordination, collaboration and complementarity at both international and regional levels.

Informative document regarding the new EU Pact on Migration and Asylum

 

On 10 April 2024, after lengthy negotiations, the European Parliament and EU governments adopted the EU Pact on Migration and Asylum. 
In their auxiliary role to public authorities, RCRC National Societies play a crucial part in guarantee humane conditions for asylum seekers and migrants, always prioritizing human dignity and human rights.

Understanding and analyzing the new Pact is crucial for implementing it in a humane manner. For this reason, we are pleased to share an informative document that highlights the main points of this new EU legal framework, along with the concerns it raises.

Collaboration and Exchange Spaces

 

 

 

As a key area of work in the Mediterranean basin, in 2025 we organized the Mediterranean Workshop on Migration and Displacement, which brought together 13 Mediterranean National Societies to analyze migration flows and the existing narrative around them, delve into the European Pact on Migration and Asylum and its impact on our action, and share experiences to learn from one another.

 

Online Sessions

 

In response to the situation generated by Covid-19 initiatives and online spaces for information, training, reflection and exchange were opened, allowing for greater outreach.​

The main webinars and workshops organised by the Centre focused on addressing the Movement's approach to migration and displacement. Non-cognitive participatory online sessions were also developed with the aim of experiencing, on a personal level, some of the vulnerable realities and situations faced by migrants, refugees and displaced persons, in order to foster empathy and a culture of non-violence and peace.
