Pride and hard work were the two key messages in the speeches made by Ribes and Cardona, each president of the Jávea Forum and the foundation's Friends Club, respectively. The pride felt over Jávea's lead role by offering its name to a project  born "by and for youth" and whose consolidated objective is to be a point of reference for the different countries that border the Mediterranean. The hard work that it has taken to launch and maintain a project whose personal and economic costs, as admitted by Cardona himself, have provoked, "contant worries and headaches".

The aim of the Association is to cooperate with the Jávea Neighbourhood Forum Foundation in all ways possible, either cooperating financially or promoting and publicizing activities, as well as advising and procurement, etc. ... , adopting the aims and objectives of the aforementioned Foundation, and which are the following: 

1.- The Study of the building and development process of the European Union, its institutions and legal systems from the perspective of the Mediterranean region. 

2.- The promotion of political, economic and cultural dialogue between the countries bordering the Mediterranean Basin and the Middle East, with mutual respect between all the countries and a radical rejection of all forms of violence.                 

3.- Special emphasis will be placed on the promotion of this dialogue between the youngest sectors of the populations of the countries of the European Union and the those of the Mediterranean Basin and the Middle East.

The objectives of the association will  be carried out at all times with respect for Human Rights and personal dignity, and devoid of any manner of discrimination.

In order to carry out the objectives listed above, conferences, seminars and panel discussions will be programmed, in addition to publications and other cultural activities relating to the aims of the association, as well as advising and procurement  tasks in favour of the Javea Neighbourhood Forum Foundation.
