"<< Objectives >>Climate change is one of the biggest problems the world is looking for a solution to with great concern. Climate change, namely global warming, is about one degree according to research. Scientists have determined that this will reach 1.5 degrees by 2030.The 0.5 degrees increase from global warming over the past 30 years reveals the irreversible harms caused by our growing world. As young people, we are aware of the negative development of the world and we will roll up our sleeves today in order to leave a liveable and sustainable world for the future. Our project consists of understanding this worldwide crisis with the world’s youth, finding solutions and carrying out these means.The project which will last 7 days with 25 young people aged 18 to 29, attending from 4 different countries, will support young people with the opportunity to observe different societies and cultural carasteristics while progressing towards achieving our goals, to take the greatest step towards becoming a citizen of the world.With climate crisis simulations, psychodramas, workshops, cultural activities, from institutional and nature travel, we aim to explain all aspects of the climate crisis and to serve as a wake-up call in personal life.<< Implementation >>In our activities in this project, we have planned to focus on the effects of climate change and to strengthen young people's feelings of empathy.Our activities are as follows:- Examine international environmental conventions that have impacted our world- Prepare a project-specific environmental agreement with our participants- Create a climate crisis simulation and experience the dangers that await the world in the future- Facilitation of workshops to highlight the importance of water- Calculate our carbon footprint to measure the damage our daily routines do to our planet- Make a special object for the culture of the participating countries with the recycling workshop- Planting young trees with the participants- Realization of a Psychodrama activity with an expert trainer to renew the link between nature and humans- Visit a recycling center in Strasbourg- Take a tour of the recycling facility- Visit a renewable energy factory to highlight the importance of renewable energy- Meet an Alsatian farmer practicing an activity in line with environmental elements- Cultural excursion activities- Entertainment activities- Meet an ecologist European Parlementer<< Results >>- The young people who will participate in the project will have the opportunity to learn about the most important agreements and protocols concluded so far.In addition, ""Youth Eco Accord"" will be created in order to apply it in the project process and in their post-project life.- Young people who will better understand the links between man and the environment through psychodramas will have learned the psychological dimensions of the climate crisis.- With the workshops that will be held within the framework of the project, the methods of recycling objects that they do not use will be taught to young people. Thus, if they continue this practice in their life after the project, their consumption index will decrease.-They will be able to observe the cultures of different societies with cultural trips to make.- They will observe the work on the climate crisis through private and public visits to be carried out in accordance with the theme of the project.With the simulation of the climate crisis, the young people of the world will be able to see this great crisis in all its aspects and positive changes will occur in their daily routines."

"<< Objectives >>Equal Rights, Equal Opportunities project is a Youth Exchange (KA-152) project, which is planned to continue for 8 months in total, including planning, preparation, implementation and follow-up activities, under the coordination of Presidency for Turks Abroad and Related Communities. It is accepted that individuals, groups and societies have legal rights and freedoms at the global democratic level. These rights and freedoms, like fundamental rights, human rights, civil rights, and active status rights, are regulated in-laws that directly concern individuals and link life with the society in which they live. Ensuring fundamental rights are the basic elements of a liberal democratic order.The loyalty of individuals and groups to their societies and states is directly related to the way the relevant legal rights are enforced and to the active participation of individuals/groups. According to the ""12 Principles of Good Democratic Governance"" document created by the Council of Europe Center of Expertise for Local Government Reform, all individuals, including disadvantaged and less privileged segments, should be heard and considered in the decision-making processes. As mentioned in the relevant document, concepts such as participation, representation and fair rights in elections are seen as phenomena that should also exist for minority groups in European communities. Minority groups are unable to be active in the society due to various reasons such as social exclusion, being different, xenophobia, discrimination, and language barriers. It is believed that the social inclusion of minority groups can only be achieved if they have equal and fair rights and opportunities with people from other segments of society.The target group of this project is the young people between the ages of 18-30 living in Europe, who are among the minority groups. The problem that the project deals with is social exclusion and insufficient social participation compared to the general society, due to the fact that minority youth are not aware of their human rights, their rights in the society they live in and minority rights. For this reason, a structured training program with non-formal training techniques will be carried out on the basis of human rights and justice for the project target audience.In accordance with the Framework Convention on the Protection of National Minorities signed between the member states of the Council of Europe on 1 February 1995, it was assessed that a pluralistic and genuine democratic society requires the respect of the ethnic, cultural, linguistic and religious identity of the national minority to which each person is a member, as well as the creation of favorable conditions that allow them to express, reserve and develop these identities. In this context, it is seen as an important issue for minority youth to know their rights, to engage in rights-based advocacy studies and for social integration.The goals of the Equal Rights, Equal Opportunities project are:●To increase the knowledge and awareness of young people from minority groups on human rights and justice issues,●Ensuring that minority young people gain social identity by knowing their rights, ●Ensuring the social inclusion of minority youth,●Increase the ability of minority youth to deal with xenophobia and discrimination, both personally and as a group.●Developing advocacy skills in the trainings that minority youth will receive through non-formal education techniques,●To increase the level of knowledge and skills in basic documents such as the European Union Declaration of Fundamental Rights, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the Framework Convention on the Protection of National Minorities,●Ensuring that participants are informed about Erasmus+ and EU Youth Programmes.<< Implementation >>Within the scope of the project, a 5-day youth exchange will be carried out in February 2023. The activity includes the Human Rights Education Program for young people selected from minority groups. In total, 54 people from 6 countries are expected to participate in the exchange activity. The target audience of the project is minority young people between the ages of 18 and 29 who are among the project partners countries.<< Results >>As a result of our project, it is envisaged that the knowledge of minority youth in human rights and justice issues will increase. In this context, we expect that minority youth will have more social inclusion and that their ability to cope with xenophobia both as a group and individually will increase. Young people's learning of non-formal education techniques and developing their advocacy skills are also among the biggest impacts of the project."

<< Background >>Youth Entrepreneurship and Empowerment Project (YEEP) is a project to be implemented for young people between the ages of 18-29 living in Europe and belong to a minority group. It is a project that aims to increase the participation of minority youth in employment by improving their digital competencies and entrepreneurship skills in today's world where information and communication technologies are developing.Social exclusion and integration problems faced by minority groups living in Europe are among the difficulties young people encounter in their social lives.
