Study Visit "Migration - Big Picture" in Turkey

Kasutajalt -
This study visit was directed on the overall topic of migration in all of the countries represented in this project. The main focus was to learn about the case studies done in Turkey (since this was the project country) and also share all of our own experiences and situations in our countries. In this project, 9 countries were represented. After getting to know each other, all the participants shared the situations in their countries related to migrants and refugees. This was extremely informing for us, because it was great to get more knowledge on the topic. 

We also had a chance to explore the beautiful city of Diyarbakir, which is the unofficial Kurdish capital. We experienced the rich culture through food, music and dances. One of the main parts of this project was to hear about the local activities that help migrants and refugees in that area. We had a visit from Professor Hasan Icen, who helped us learn a lot about the refugee situation in Diyarbakir, but also in Turkey in general. 


The meeting was really eye-opening, since here in Estonia we do not even realize the actual amount of refugees going through Turkey. The second part of this study visit was to visit the local NGOs helping the refugee and migrant community with different issues. The first visit was to Kamer Vakfi - NGO helping women (fighting for women’s rights and giving a helping hand in case of violence). The main vision of Kamer foundation is to create a participating society free from all forms of discrimination, violence and structural hierarchy, that would develop freely, composed of independent individuals, based on sharing and solidarity. 

Our second visit was to Lotus - a children defence NGO. This organisation provides mostly non-formal techniques to provide the children an outlet. They use ways like art, theatre and music to make the kids come out of their shell and feel free to express their fears and dreams to others. The different projects conducted by this organisation give them opportunities to meet and get to know children with other backgrounds and make friends through their similarities. 

Overall this study visit gave all of us a really good look into the refugee situation in different countries. For the Estonian participants, who have had experiences with training courses before, this was definitely one of the most informative ones. We had a great time in Diyarbakir in this project and cannot wait for a similar project to happen again.

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

Noortevahetus "Face to Face" Eestis

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
