Youth exchange "Mother Nature" in Turkey

Kasutajalt -
15.-24.04.2019 was a magical time for 56 young people from Norway, Turkey, Lithuania, UK, Estonia, Czech Republic, Croatia and Poland who were lucky enough to participate in an amazing project in Diyarbakır, Turkey. Even more amazing was the theme of the project - „Mother Nature“.
During this amazing time we had a chance to learn so much about different cultures and how each and every one of us can do something to keep our biggest wealth - nature.

Like in every project there was a lot of activities and workshops, but for us the most useful part was the hikes and trips we took around the beautiful Tigris river, because during these hikes we did something positive for the mountains: we took trash bags with us and picked up trash around the trails.


We also learned about sustainable business and eco-friendly behavior. These activities didn’t only teach us about the theme itself, but brought us out of our comfort zone and made us do little sketches, songs and even a glorious rap battle.
We had an opportunity to let our imagination fly and make our own future university, bar, gym and mall using whatever materials and systems we could think of.
The more you started to get to know the people around you, the more interesting participating in different debates and topics became, for example through conversations you found out how big the knowledge about sustainability among the participants was.


There was one aspect that was a bit disturbing from the very beginning, the plastic cups we were wasting all through the project to drink water even though the tap water was drinkable and good.

BUT… as always… the participants are the ones who are going to make or break the project and this one was truly amazing!

During 19th to 25th of January 2018 we took part on a training course in Spain, San Esteban de Gormaz. "You CREATE - Coaching, Empowering and Activating!" Involved 8 partnering countries (Bulgaria, Croatia, Estonia, Hungary, Italy, Macedonia, Romania and Spain). During the course we went trough various self-assessments to learn to know our strenghts, interests and traits which can be used to improve the visibility on the road to employement. The course was organized by a inspiring NGO named Asociación Asekas . Their welcoming and introduction to Spanish culture was really one of a kind. Also the venue was on a territory of a public school, providing us with the invaluable experience to see the school setting of a scholar, activites and traditions of local youth in the form of their presence and various picture-mosaiques and newspaper-cut outs on the walls. Recognizing the state of (un)employement situation in current Europe, “YOU CREATE” comes to meet the need of s

Every year millions of people die from wrong interventions. The reason is that most people do not have enough knowledge about what they should do in an emergency situation. Sometimes a piece of first aid knowledge can save a person's life. According to the report published by Turkish Health Ministry in 2011, the first 5 minutes is 5 times more important than the rest minutes for the wounded victim to survive him or her. With this project, we aimed to come together with young people from different parts of Europe to share the information about first aid techniques for emergencies and also learn different intervention techniques. The project was implemented in Aksaray city in Turkey. The activities of the project were between 17-25 July 2016. The activity was a training course and it lasted 7 days. 29 youth workers came from 6 countries (Turkey, Estonia, Bulgaria, Malta, Lithuania and Romania). The coordinator of the project is Behçet Hastaları ve Sağlıklı Yaşam Derneği. 29 Part

28.04-05.05 toimus Kivi turismitalus, Viljandimaal noortevahetus, mille teemaks oli soorollide vägivald. Noortevahetuses osalesid noored vanuses 15-17a ja olid nad Gruusiast, Ukrainast, Itaaliast, Hispaaniast ja Eestist. 29.04 Olime öösel Kivi turismitallu kohale jõudnud ja umbes kahe ajal magama saanud, ärkasime hommikul poole kümne ajal. Me ei tundnud veel üksteist väga, seega oli esimene päev mõeldud tutvusmiseks. Esimesed tutvumismängud olid sellised, kus pidime oma nime ütlema ja veidi koostööd tegema. Peale lõunat ehitasime etteantud vahenditega silda, kui kuulsime, et selleks on 40min, siis ei saanud keegi aru, miks nii kaua aega on vaja, aga lõpus jäi kõigil aega puudu. Õhtuks olime enam vähem kõik juba tuttavad, ning peale õhtusööki tegime juba ise asju koos. Õhtu lõpuks olime mingi seltskonnaga kellegi toas ja jagasime muljeid esimesest päevast ja oma riigi kultuurist ja traditsioinidest. See oli hämmastav, kui ruttu sõpradeks saime! Minu meelest, oli see üks lõbus
