We make local and international projects in the youth field. We organize different exchange programs workshops and congresses to connect local youth and young people in Europe. This year, we will bring together young people from Germany, from France and from Turkey with our Erasmus+ project that named "from Anatolia to Europe, from Europe to Anatolia". In this way, we aim to Engaging, Connecting and Empowering young people by force of this project. Also, We plan to bring together 120 volunteers from our country and Europe every year through volunteering projects within the European Solidarity Corps.
Apart from these, Young Diplomat Academy, Sports Academy, Culture and Art Academy, Media Communication School are among the branded projects of our foundation. We want to realize these projects that are in the fields of Culture, Art, Diplomacy and Sports together with young people in Europe to serve the policies of the European Union in these areas.
For this, we want to reproduce and develop these projects in a wider vision by taking advantage of European Union Funds inclusive of our internationalization strategy.
Also, We aim to strengthen our communication with EU institutions by sending young people from Turkey to the different activities of the European Parliament's.For example, we have made our application for European Youth Event 2021, we intended to send young people to this event.
