The main aim of the project is to promote the art and cultural symbols as national heritage Europe wide. Thesymbols found in the caves in different countries are part of the cultural heritage. The participants will examine

the common history they have, through sharing they'll learn for each other cultures, about the cave-art andimprove their intercultural competences. The main objectives of our project are to show and gain the

knowlegde and the understanding of importance of the mutual historical heritage of our countries. To observe

and to accept its value. This YE will provide to the participants possibility to learn how to protect it andpromote it among others and will raise the awearness about intercultural dialog through the art, dance and

music, as tools better to connect and understand each other and the cultiral differences.

The working methods will be discussions, lectures and interactive games.Because of prejudices and lack ofdiscussions, as well as of not having mutual understanding among all of us, well provide the participants a

non-formal environment for developing their knowledge and the information gained in this youth exchange willgive them an advantage during organising future projects. In addition, we value intercultural diversity and we

want to establish even stronger connection with all the participating countries.

The partners of this youth exchange are countries members of the European Union, as well as SEE countries(Turkey, Macedonia, Romania, Serbia, Albania and Latvia).The total number of the participating countries is6 (six) and the total duration of the activities is 9 working days, excluding the traveling days.

Objectives and priorities:


8/2/2019 Root Calls

9/35

Please explain the context, the origin and the objectives of your project and in which way it meets the objectives and the prioritiesof the Youth in Action Programme.

Despite some opposite views toward the importance of voluntarism, volunteerism has beenperceived as a requirement of modern time and human. Since this important concept arises as thevalue from humanity, we want to address this essential concept in European Youth within thepriorities defined by the Youth in Action framework. For this purpose, our major priorities areEuropean Citizenship intercultural exchange about the national heritage and participation of youngpeople in active and democratic life and conserving the national identity.

Voluntarism encourages empathy among people, resulting of understanding each other well. Inorder to develop awareness and create actions toward this priority, for our project, we haveseveral objectives:

Promoting young peoples active citizenship in general, especially by encouraging and helpthem to understand that they are the future of their states and their states future will beshaped by their attitudes and behaviors. Citizenship concept is the most vital concept tounderstand the importance of voluntarism into the society, because it requires responsibilitytoward citizens as volunteers. European citizenship takes a big role in this case to realize thatthis is a responsibility for being a part of Europe. Since we have already had lots ofexperiences in the field of youth in action programmes, we have the knowledge that we maycontribute both ourselves and to the young people around us as social and future area.

Developing solidarity and promoting tolerance among young people are our significant

objectives for this project. Because it is a fact that without tolerance and solidarity, there will beno voluntarism. With this project, named ROOT CALLS, we will have opportunity tounderstand better the other cultures and to have an intercultural learning. It is certain that therewere numberous of successful projects; however we did not observe any kind of project inwhich contains the importance of our heritage coming from our roots. On the other hand, theyoung people as dynamic part of the community shall make out the rest of communityunderstand the messages from our past. Thus, we will support them by informing regardingcaving / art-caving through an expert. While supporting the active roles of the young people,we will emphasize the climate and environmental problems in Samandag area as one of thecaretta caretta turtles living area. Thus, the young people shall be informed and be awaretowards the environment issues.

Furthermore we will promote European cooperation in the youth field, whereby Europeanyouth can realize each other with solidarity. In the European Year for Volunteering, 2011, webelieve that understand the necessities of people with fewer opportunities, and try to help them

with volunteer services will be more beneficial for their personal development. Thus, Our

project is also formed on the participation of the young people with fewer opportunities. It

fits for purpose of participation of young people who have not had any opportunity to

participate in a youth in action programme and/or have not had any international experience.

This project will have participants from six European and SEE countries, which means that thisproject will provide foster mutual understanding among young people from different cultures. Thisobjective lets the participants see the big picture; mutual understanding from different sides(different cultures, traditions, communities). The reasons of organizations seeking for volunteers,and the reasons of joining voluntary actions. In accordance with participation of the young people ,our project shall provide the supporting of individual knowledge, talent, confidence and collectiveworking abiliy of the young people during the said participation.Thus, the young people shall bemore efficient in the community and more conformist.In terms of the cultural diversity, ourparticipations will come from 6 different countries and our project contains methods that theseyoung people shall realize commun activities. These commun activities will not be only in practise,also will be at preparatory period and conclusion periods.Thus, our project is formed of thecommun activities of young people. The making out of commun activities shall support withintercultural learning activities in practice. Intercultural Learning activities ground on the differentcultures. Consequently, the experiences and knowledge of the young people regarding culturaldiversity shall be increased in positif way. During intercultural learning activities and discussions ,the continuous activated of the participants and brain storm shall be provided.

In addition, this project promotes European cooperation in the youth field by several activities.We will provide this cooperation with some discussions and non-formal learning methods, likeoutdoor activities together, presentations, games, etc... Through workshops we want to

exchange ideas, opinions, working skills and also improving them. Being an internationalproject providing the participation from different nations with different cultures, we will becomeaware of the similarities and differences between our work methodologies of youth activities.

As being a youth exchange programme, our major priority is participation of young people.Because making young people aware that developing in human rights and fulfillment of necessities

Please indicate:

how you found the other promoter(s), how you established an efficient partnership, and how the partner(s) will cooperate andbe involved in the project,

the theme(s) of the project,

the activities foreseen throughout the project for its implementation, including preparatory and evaluation activities.

the practical arrangements for the implementation of the Activity (food, lodging,transports, etc.)

Please attach an estimated daily timetable of the planned Activity.

We (the partners for this YE), have meet during a TC in Shabac, Serbia, 2011. Weve found many things incommon, we were eager and very high motivated to work together, and weve established an project idea,

which raise itself in a applyable and doable project proposal.

The theme of our YE is Cultural Diversity. We came up with the title of the project, in a very interesting

way... We had a brainstorming and the several titles we came up with, we decided to cut them and join

them into one, which will represent the whole idea about the YE. The ROOT CALLS youth exchange will

provide many opportunities for the young people involved in it, to see and feel the back ground of ourancestors and to learn from it.

The whole idea of this YE is to discover, present (first prepare), and share the richness of our nationalheritage we all have in our own countries. Since we all have caves in our countries, and in some of them we

have cave art from different periods of the devolping of the human kind, we decided to do the followingactivities:

- The preparatory activities: before coming to the host country of the YE, Turkey, each partner is

obligated to do some field research. That means that, we have to go and visit some of our caves,

take some photo of the cave art, find the legend behind all that, prepare a power pointpresentation, and bring it with us to Turkey. By doing that, the young people, involved in it, will

have the opportunity to get to know their own landscape, their soruondings, but most importantly,they will have the opportunity to learn more about the past periods of the human development,

through various ways of geting the information (reading, asking the museum curators, the caveguides, the photo and power point as media tools etc...).

- During the youth exchange: devided in 2 (two) days, the partners will have the opportunity topresent their findings and through their exploration field work the other participant will leran and

upgrade their knowledge on the theme, about 6 other countries heritage. The 6 (six) partnercountries will be devided in to two (random) groups by 3 (three) countries, in 2(two) days.

This project is written in English because of the very strong cooperation between the fifth promoters. Wewanted to translate it, but we realize that if we will make it in Turkish, some parts (because of the

translation) will loose the meaning.

All the partners involved have experiences in youth projects (YiA, EYF, local projects and other), thoughts

and rich knowledge about the subject of the exchange in the talks about final form and activities planned inthe project. The communication is now running through different canals on the internet and we are all

gaining some important experiences and knowledge.

Each promoter was and it will be involved in every step of the project. In the very beginning we did a hard

but pleasant job for making the activities, writing the program, the project, discussing about the topic,searching materials about the subject of the project and we all share with the others and put all together. In

the second step (after the project will be approved) we continue our work for making the youth team,prepare and build the team, changing information, making some reports, remarks about how the things are

going, make some changes if the youth teams want to, if there are some problems we will fix them, and soon about organizing stuff. In the nest step (during the YE) each promoter have specific task to do, to

prepare, things to come with (activities, games, intercultural night, etc), the leaders will lead the workshopsand activities (see the program), etc. In the last step of the project (after activities week) all promoters will

help for making the final report, will also make an evaluation in the national group after returning home,will split and dissimulate the results in the organization and local community, we will work for new

projects on all levels and keep a strong cooperation.

All the tasks and responsibilities are very good balanced all promoters, easy to follow for, and in a manner

that we can easily follow the work and quantify the results. We have a very good communication via Skype(voice call) but also we write e-mails weekly. Moreover, we all believe that we have the confidence and

will to create great project.

In a very practical way, regarding with the structure that all promoters agree, we have 3 stages of the

projects: first part when we put all together and write the project, the second part when the project isapproved and we start the preparation work and this part include also the 9 days of activities and the third

part when we go back home, we spread all the information as much as we can and we also make the finalreport.

Starting with the first is already done. Because of the good collaboration, good communication and our

Project's content and methodology:


8/2/2019 Root Calls

16/35

Please describe:

how the main theme reflects the interests and needs of participants,

the working methods,

how the planned activities and working methods will contribute to the process of non-formal learning and to the promotion ofsocial and personal development of young people involved in the project,

how the young people will be actively involved in each stage of the project.

First of all, the project programme has a lot of detailed information about the content. Before we move

forward, we want to provide more information about some activities which are essential within theprogramme;Structure of the Cultural Nights: We have participated in several Youth in Action projects. In everyproject, we have experienced different intercultural learning activities. In order to maximizeeffectiveness of such intercultural learning activities, we have decided to apply the strategy as follows:

o Ten minutes language learning; each country will teach the other countries ten basic words

from its language like hello, good morning, good bye and so fortho National Anthem of the country and its explanation (five minutes),

o Fifteen minutes presentation of basic demographic information about country such as

population, flag, capital city and etco Fifteen minutes music session from the country,

o Fifteen minutes for learning and dancing the folk dances of that countryThrough this one-hour activity, participants will be experienced about that country.Iceberg Method: Before starting the tour of the city, the facilitator will discuss with the participants themental process to construct a cultural image. After that, the participants will create some groups andwill prepare a big poster representing an iceberg. Like an iceberg that has a part above the surface ofthe water and a part under the water, we can also imagine that the culture in a Country has someimmediately evident aspects and other aspects those are to be searched with attention and which gounderneath the appearances.With this concept in mind, each group will start the tour of the city. During the tour the participants haveto take several photos that can catch both the evident aspects ofTurkish culture and the hidden ones.Returning in the meeting each group will print the photos and will fix them on the iceberg, so some

photos will take place above the surface of water and some others under the surface. Finally eachgroup will explain the two types of aspects of Turkish culture discovered during the tour.

Group Building: As we know well that one of the important thing is working in dividing groups andbeing-feeling the group during all the project. Therefore, in the first days of the project after the officialmeetings with each other, we will organize the games as a non-formal education to make theparticipants be a group. The participants shall be in interactive relation with the other countries andcultures at the group workshops. Thus, our project shall realize the method of learning from each other.Additionally, the young people will improve their own individual evolution by developing their teamcollaboration abilities.Reflection Times:During each reflection and evaluation time, the group will be divided into four. Each

group will be moderated by a facilitator. Group will share their ideas about the following questions: How can you describe your overall feeling until now?

How can you describe your learning? What did you learn?

How would you transfer what you learnt today to your youth activities, your life, and so on?

Is there any suggestions regarding the technical issues, food and any other things?Each moderator will let each participant share his/her ideas on each question. Afterwards, moderatorswill come together and will discuss about their meetings. If there is an urgent situation to be fixed,moderators will take an immediate action. On the other hand, the host organization shall be alwaysinterested in the participants suggestions/ complaints in order to fix them at all.Participants will be the members of the organizations which make voluntary actions in their countries.Moreover, participants want to attend the project on their will. We believe that participants will have a

certain level of sensitivity toward volunteerism. Therefore, the project topic is a part of their current andprospective lives. In that sense, we believe that the topic will get the attention and motivation of theparticipants.

We believe that the best way to learn and achieve something is to do it, so we decided to make activelearning based activities as much possible as. It is a very easy and useful method of learning. Theactivities are very gripping and amusing. These are like creativity; discover new things, team spirit,different talents and so on. Activities will be charming for participants and also non-formal educationtechniques will be used. Youth learn more easily from their peers whose brains have the samecomprehension skills. The project wants to make the time as a nice experience for all youngsters. Theactivities are in such a manner to be attractive for the participants, also a way to facilitate the non-

formal education. All the activities will use the non formal education as games, energizers, learning by doing,brainstorming, role and simulation games, free group discussions, work groups, etc. For this we will useSalto materials and the working room will also be in a non-formal way (participants can stay on thefloor, chairs in a circle, informal speech between participants and with the leaders, etc)With the active learning strategies, participants will always be active both physical and mentally. By thisway, we will enable to improve and activate their brains and bodies. They will also be informed aboutthe themes of project and they will learn about the state of being active. So, it will affect their individualdevelopments positively. It will also provide to social development setting where they will learn aboutdifferent cultures. They will be friends where project will provide an opportunity to keep in touch withdifferent cultures constantly. They will take successful steps about learning among cultures and theywill improve themselves individually and socially.Participants will make discussions on volunteerism related issues together. Furthermore, project willshow us that we can overcome challenges together with voluntary action and could have better future.This will provide solidarity among us. Educational games are the other activities of non-formaleducation. The purpose of these games to strengthen mutual understanding in group, by this wayincrease group. Same as the workshops, the games are another important object of the non-formaleducation. Their purpose is to foster mutual understanding inside the group, thus strengtheningcohesion both inside the groups and between them. Through games the participants will also have thechance to learn more about themselves and each other, and also discover their points of commoninterests. Moreover, the games integrate people to each other. These games assemble our youngsters,who are from different cultures, different religions and different nations, and games will ensure that theywill learn from each other and they will destroy their prejudices on each other.

We will realize the differences and similarities between working methodologies in youth activities in acontext of multinational multicultural settings. Furthermore, we want to encourage youth to beinterested in society and problems which we come across every day. Within the whole project, we willbe making an effort to create a peaceful society. To this end, we will be asking the youngsters to sharetheir ideas and to make suggestions.By the international feature of this project, we want to encourage the clemency among nations and alsoespecially among youngsters. It is crucial to see mutual understanding among people for all of us. Bythis way, we can keep the cultures alive where we can take advantage of this fruitful situation on earth.Among all these things, the other important aim is to collaborate for better Europe.We should notice that we are EU citizens and we should think about this subject and we should askourselves that what we can do more than to enhancement other's life besides our lives. During the

activities, participants will have the chance to discuss about Human Rights. We will reveal that when itis about human, regardless of nationalities, we must focus on volunteerism which is essential to keepfundamental human rights on earth.People are different so we will not try to impose our beliefs, we will learn to understand others' beliefsand we will learn to show respect them. Another objective of this project is to learn things as much aspossible from each other and to teach them the people who are not from our society. By this means wewant to increase society consciousness about our themes. We want to provide respect to differences.From this perspective, another priority is that getting acquisitions about others' cultures. It is alsoimportant for tolerance about religion beliefs and different ethnic minorities. Moreover, it is important forbreaking prejudices among people, generating friendships among different cultures.

Besides not using the nativelanguage, the participants have also the chance to discover the others languages and why not, evenlearning few. All the activities will be held in English.We asked our group leaders to form their group as much as possible with a gender balance. We wantto give equal opportunities for male and also for female. It is the group leaders job to find theirparticipants trying to preserve the balance. With gender balance, we want to show everyone that weare not only supporting social inclusion but also realizing it too.

The learning dimension (i.e. acquisition/improvement of competences) is an essential component of any project supported bythe Youth in Action programme. The programme puts in place a process of recognition of competences gained through

participation to Youth in Action projects which is called Youthpass (please visit www.youthpass.eu), With this regard, pleasedescribe:

Please indicate if and how your project reflects the following characteristics:

the project increases young people's positive awareness of other cultures,

the project supports dialogue and intercultural encounters with other young people from different backgrounds and cultures,

the project helps to prevent and combat prejudice, racism and all attitudes leading to exclusion,

the project develops sense of tolerance and understanding of diversity.

This project will provide opportunities for the participants of the exchange to learn about other cultures and to

present their own culture. Our understanding is that young people from different countries do not have a lot ofknowledge about other European countries, especially about prevailing relationship norms and values, whichare deeply rooted and often invisible part of different cultures. In most of the cases their attitudes towards

different cultures are created by big influences of movies and television making them burdened with lots of prejudices. That is why we feel that it is very important to introduce participants with different cultural

backgrounds, but the point that will be the connection part of the whole project, will be the theme and itsbackground, which we all have and cherish. In this project we will gather youngsters from different European

countries and provide them with a pleasant atmosphere for dialog and interaction. In this way they can share

their experiences and feelings about their own and other cultures. The program of the project is designed inorder to increase the participants knowledge about these more invisible characteristics of other cultures, to

discuss differences, to find common grounds and also to promote tolerance and positive attitude towards

differences.

But also, in the longer run, through join activities like simulation games, role plays and discussions theparticipants will also get firsthand experience of diversities, such as, food diversity, various national dances, thedifferences among different languages spoken in our countries etc. We hope the participants will become more

aware of the cultural differences and learn to be tolerant, understanding and not to constitute attitudes with lackof information, especially towards the cultural heritage, which belong to all of us, no matter where are we

coming from. Our belief is that the root of all prejudices and racism is lack of information. Through the call of

our roots the participants of this project will share information about their culture among each other.

Thats why, we believe that our idea is a very strong one, and very important, throughout the world.

The genuine recognition of, and respect for, diversity and the dynamics of cultural traditions, ethnic andcultural identities religious, beliefs, artistic, literary and socio-economic ideas and concepts and that theharmonious interaction of persons and groups with varied identities is essential for achieving social

cohesion. The fact that social cohesion requires framework of individuals within the societies will be ourmain notion, this fact will help the participants to understand well the necessity of volunteerism in ourlife and its benefits for both individuals and societys future. In addition, understanding the reality of thenecessity of volunteerism is not only in several organizations, countries; this issue is globally significantand every society should focus on this importance, especially developed countries as European.With the statements above, we are reading our projects aims, and now we will give the ways that makeproof these aims. The project will be realized among six countries, six different cultures, histories,identities and approaches. Each participant will reflect his/her environment on the themes and at thesame time s/he will show his/her background. Hence, this project will give them another opportunityto meet with different people from various backgrounds. This project wants to involve countries forhaving a more culturally diverse setting. Besides working in the youth field, we also want ourparticipants to find out few things about others culture and traditions. Each country will have to presenttheir traditions and culture and also cook something from their cuisine.

Everybody might have prejudice for the different cultures whereas with the intercultural dialogues, wecan prevent ethnic, religious, linguistic and cultural discrimination which enables us to move forwardtogether to deal with our different identities constructively and democratically on the dynamics basis ofshared universal values. Cultural diversity characterized Europes rich heritage and that awareness ofvolunteerism was the guarantee of an open society led to framework convention for the volunteering toorganizations. With the project, participants will see that there is no difference between people whoneed help and the people who helps them. This message will send to each participant. Our identities, isnot what makes us unique. Identity is a complex and contextually sensitive combinationof elements.Asour projects activities, the using methodology require the participants work all together. Since theproject contains participants from 6 countries, it makes the project more intercultural and highlight themulticulturalism. This different culture, backgrounds, lifestyles and religious shall present such a bigcultural diversity. In accordance with the diversity, the prejudices coming from misunderstanding andetc. shall be disappeared The commune works shall provide the increasement of the young peoples

positive awareness regarding other cultures.On the other hand, the presentation of the outdoor and natural activities as per to other countries andcultures understanding shall provide important contribution to the intercultural dimension. By the way,we believe that we contribute to the struggle to the racism in terms of Europe.

European dimension:

Please indicate if and how your project reflects the following characteristics; tick box(es) and then describe:

the project fosters young peoples sense of European citizenship and helps them to understand their role as part of thepresent and future of Europe;

the project reflects a common concern for European society, such as racism, xenophobia and anti-semitism, drug abuse;

the projects theme is linked to EU topics, such as EU enlargement, the roles and activities of the European institutions, theEU's action in matters affecting young people;

the project debates the founding principles of the EU, i.e. principles of liberty, democracy, respect for human rights andfundamental freedoms, and the rule of law.

The exchanges topic is build in the role that young people have in society as active citizens, how

they can contribute more in society where they live, how they can bring development initiating social

action to bring social change in the society, by learning more about the partner countries different

cultures, languages, food, dances, songs etc. Also, through workshops that we have planned during

the exchange, a special stress will be given to the Cultural Diversity in our countries and what young

people understand by it. We will have in activity young people coming from SEE countries and

member countries of the European Union. The Cultural Diversity in Europe is challenging theme, and

so, by knowing that we believe with our Youth Exchange, we can move the mutual understanding a

bit more towards us, and by it we can achieve more in the process of learning and upgrading

ourselves.

At the same time the project promotes European values with its activities, namely the respect for and

understanding other cultures. This will be expressed and practised during lectures and discussions

during the topics of the project. Each day we will have different topic to discuss about, and by that,

different opinions can be heard. Comparing our habits and opinions of others on that matter will

follow, which will help participants to understand other nations and break stereotypes about them.

Promoting the cultural diversity, the mutual understanding, the tolerance and equality at all levels of

society and respecting our own, yet sometimes mutually unintelligible, values, the developing

acceptance and understanding of the wealth of the common European culture and traditions, as well

as importance of heritage protection are the issues of the European dimension, we will try to reflect

during our project.

First of all, the European dimension of the project is given by the 30 young participants from 6 UE andSEE countries and than by the theme of the project. All the activities will be presented in a context ofEuropean level and than by country, so the youngsters will have a European dimension of the subjectsand this also gives to the project a European dimension.To stand up for their future, the participants will have to have the needed knowledge about the past.We will look through growth of European idea and development of fundamental human rights which willhelp young people to understand that the way to equality and freedom is very hard and that the

voluntarism is mainly the key tool for raising the life standard. It will also be needed in future Europe,which is facing numerous problems with aging of population, integration of immigrants, global warmingand natural disasters, growing social differences and other urgent problems. Understanding thatthrough voluntarism we face those problems and not turn away from them will help youth to moreactively join the life and processes in society. Everyone feels the problems of society, but young peoplerarely decide for action the project will give them a message that the action is not only needed butobligatory for anyone who cares for his and common European future!By our activities planned we will promote the basic principles and values of European union aimtowards equality, liberty and respecting the human rights. The youngsters will be the carrier of thischanges and it is up to European projects like this one to arm them with knowledge and courage tocarry them out. Showing those good examples of different voluntary projects will also be a part of theproject and will make youth understand that people are already changing the world through voluntarywork and that it is frequently vitally important for different groups within society.We will raise the awareness that everybody is responsible for the world we live in and that we cannothide behind collective guilt will help the youth to stand up for common values of European citizenship.The project will also show and underline the European citizenship itself as a value.The project will also promote different European possibilities for youngsters to develop a project are forpersonal development, the free circulation in the UE, other European cultures, traditions, Europeanvalues, national identity in a European context, the responsibilities and rights as an European citizen,etc.

On the other hand, the participants will be processed to think about more our roots ; so our past. Evenbefore starting the project, the participants shall be obliged to present a presentation related to theircountry and their root/cave as preparatory presentation. Thus, young people will necessarily beadapted to European context. Besides, our project will have a structure that the knowledge and

In a longterm perspective, please describe how you plan to achieve a multiplying effect and sustainable impact. Please also explain howyou plan to follow up this Youth Exchange (e.g. new projects within the framework of the Youth in Action Programme,continuous contact with the promoter(s), etc.)?

The expected impact will be the participants tolerance towards other cultures and protecting the in commonheritage that belongs to every one of us. The knowledge about it will be increased as a result of communication

and joint activities with people from different nations.

Participants will be better informed about how actively to promote the mutual cultural understanding and thecultural diversity of the others. Also, to share experience with the help of discussions and seminars on these

topics. Also we will try to show them how to break stereotypes and barriers through intercultural dialogue, as

well as how to access concept of intercultural learning and culture (in general) and to deliver and spread theinformation about the Youth in Action program and its benefits for the young people.

Participants of the project will develop personal and group work skills through various tasks and presentations.The direct impact will be visible to them when they get back to their everyday life. Indirect beneficiaries will be

communities when these young people live because they will be promoter of common values and initiators ofcommunity action. The results of the Exchange will be put in the websites of each organisation and in this way

young people from our local community will have opportunity to learn more.In reference to one of the youth exchanges long-term objectives, new projects within the framework of the

Youth in Action Program will be developed, because new ideas will be born during the project it self. Duringthe exchange we will have he opportunity to work on the future projects ideas, and there is written in the

schedule, that during the last 2 days we will work more on it, so the cooperation and the good spirit among us,as partners, will continue.

Also the cooperation with the projects partners will be continued especially with the aim of working togetheron future initiatives.

The impact of the project will be on different levels. On the first level and a very strong impact will be onthe 20 youngsters participants, directly involved in the project. The impact will be made by theactivities and their involving in all the steps of the project. They will gain and improve some personalskills, will live for few days in a different habitat, a multi cultural one, will make some new experience,

will work together, they will face up with different situations, will have different tasks to do,responsibility, etc. All this will have a positive impact to the participants on long term. The activitiesundertaken to have this impact is active involving of the youngsters in all steps of the project, thesupport of the leaders, the activities proposed in the program and the evaluation process to see theresults.

The second level of impact will be on the youngsters involved indirect in the project and to localcommunity. To the local community we plan to have an impact on short term and long term. The shortterm will be during the project we may separate as 2 impacts. When we will have activities in thecommunity , Turkish participants shall be certainly involved these activities. Even as a hostorganization Turkish team has lots of experiences, as we mentioned before, we will promote the youngpeople with fewer opportunities. It means that this project shall be first for some of Turkish youngparticipants. In terms of community as short term, local people will try to understand what is going onand try to involve and come in our group since the place where participants will stay ; is a small town in

the South of Turkiye. Even Samandag is a touristical place, local people will face with different culturesand countries. The long term will be follow up projects at local level. Because local people will askregarding YIA,,YE programmes and think about young peoples activities, success in the community.And also involving the community in other projects, to me more active and involved in such actions.

The activities undertaken to achieve this impact in the local community and youngsters is directinvolvement of the community/youngsters, face to face meeting with the participants, outdooractivities in the community during the program, the presentation of the result from the end of theprogram, by promoting the project in the community, etc.

projects on extension of volunteerism toward protecting and promoting cultural heritages and values.Through this exchange we want to strengthen the connection between countries and their citizens.Nowadays young people tend more to forget about the treasures that our cultures contain and let othervalues to take their places. The best way to achieve new information is by participating and involvingdirectly in these types of activities.

please describe and motivate.

YES, we will involve youngsters with less opportunity in this project since it is a priority for us and wealways use and promote in our projects people with fewer opportunities. Directly involved will be atleast 6 participants, one from each country. This is a task that each organization has to do it, to have atleast one participant with less opportunity. Because we think that one of the aim of the YE is spreadingas much as possible. We know that each young person has not same opportunity, lifestyle or are not in

same financial situation. It is sure that everybody is equal; however we as a new generation, we haveto provide the equality even between nonequal young persons by supporting them involve the projects.Thus, we will break the prejudices between each person by giving a chance to the young people withfewer opportunities.As a consequence, We will encourage having more and in the selective criteria formaking the teams, the youngsters with fewer opportunities will have priority.

On the other hand, we will involve some local young people with fewer opportunities indirectly duringour activities, cave and museum visits.
