Within the scope of the Erasmus+ KA151 project carried out by Bülbülzade Association, the “Digital Transformation: Opportunities and Challenges” youth mobility was successfully completed.A total of 30 participants from Turkey and Bosnia and Herzegovina took part in the youth mobility. Within the scope of the program carried out in partnership with Yeryüzü Youth and Sports Club Association, FACT and Anadolu Student Union, the effects of digital transformation on individuals and society were discussed. Through seminars, group work, quiz competitions and project development workshops, the opportunities offered and threats posed by digitalization were discussed in a multidimensional manner. Participants discovered ways to be conscious individuals in the digital world and developed innovative solutions.During the mobility, young people also visited the historical and cultural sites of Bosnia and Herzegovina, gaining a deeper insight into the country's past and cultural heritage.Combining technology and cultural interaction, this youth mobility made a significant contribution to the participants' awareness in the digital world and international experience by getting to know different cultures.

Within the scope of Erasmus+ KA151 Youth Mobility supported by the Turkish National Agency, the project activity “Resilient Youth: Active Citizenship in the Digital Age” project activity was held in Srebrenica, Bosnia and Herzegovina. 41 young people from Turkey and Bosnia and Herzegovina participated in a series of workshops and trainings on social resilience, active citizenship and the impacts of the digital age.Social Resilience and Active Citizenship in the Digital AgeOne of the most important topics of the event was to increase the sensitivity of young people to social issues in the digital world and to ensure that they become conscious individuals. The workshops covered topics such as social media activism, combating disinformation, digital rights and ethical responsibilities.Participants also worked in groups to explore ways to build a resilient society. It was emphasized that active citizenship in the digital age is a matter of consciousness that requires responsibility.Meeting with Martyrs' Mothers: Witnesses of the Struggle for JusticeOne of the most meaningful parts of the program was the meeting with the mothers of the martyrs who lost their relatives in the Srebrenica Massacre on 11 July 1995. The participants listened to the testimonies of these mothers who have been struggling for justice for years.The sadness in their eyes was stronger than words, as the mothers described their lives in a pain that has not changed for years. “Those of us who have a tombstone here are the luckiest,” said one. “Some of us did not even reach a bone of their children.”Understanding the Past, Building the FutureThe visit to the cemetery was another important activity for young people. Walking among the white marbles, the young people realized that history is not only information to be read in books, but sometimes it can also be felt while standing on a piece of land and breathing. The visit to the Genocide Museum gave the participants a deeper understanding of what happened.Volunteering, Cultural Ties and SolidarityAnother important part of the program was volunteering at the youth center built by IFS Emmaus. Young people participated in the landscaping and maintenance of the center.In addition, handicraft workshops were organized to connect with the cultural heritage of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Young people learned traditional wood painting techniques and discovered how art functions as a carrier of cultural heritage.Conscious Youth for a Resilient SocietyAt the end of the program, YouthPass certificates were presented to all participants, documenting the knowledge and skills they gained in the process. However, perhaps the most valuable gain was the sense of awareness and responsibility that the young people carried within themselves.This event was an important step towards preserving the memory of the past and raising new generations as conscious individuals in the struggle for justice. When the young people left Srebrenica, they were not only coming to the end of a program; they were also taking with them a consciousness that they should carry with them responsibly.

Supported by the Turkish National Agency and implemented by the Green Hope Association, “Young People Protect Nature: Green Skills” project is an Erasmus+ KA152 project.This project is carried out in cooperation with EMU Association from France, Us Akademiker Plattform from Germany and Bridge Association from North Macedonia. Within the scope of the project, two mobilizations are planned, one in Gaziantep and one in Strasbourg.Project DescriptionChanges in atmospheric composition due to natural processes and external factors, or changes caused by the continuous effects of humans on land use, deeply affect the world we live in and lead to the problem of climate change. In addition to natural processes, human activities play a more significant role in climate change. In particular, the wasteful consumption of natural resources threatens humanity and other living creatures on earth, and the burning of fossil fuels, deforestation and the release of greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4) and nitrous oxide (N2O) into the atmosphere change the course of the world in a negative way. Problems such as the decrease in habitat diversity, extreme weather events, ocean acidification, increased migration movements, disruption of the food chain, and the spread of diseases are some of the problems we are experiencing now and will increase in the future due to climate change. This problem, which is multiplying day by day, affects not only the natural environment but also the living beings that are the natural elements of this environment. Climate change and the ecological crisis, which have been a serious agenda item in recent years due to the visible increase in their effects, force countries and international organizations to take steps in this regard. The European Convention on the Environment, the Kyoto Protocol, the Copenhagen Climate Summit and the Paris Agreement are some of the steps taken on a global scale on climate change. However, in order to overcome this process, which has become a problem on a global scale, in a healthy way, a collective consciousness that covers all people living in the world is required. Mitigating climate change and its impacts is vital for preserving the diversity of life on Earth and maintaining the health and stability of ecosystems. In particular, the fact that young people, who are the target group of our project, have environmental awareness, and the development of their environmental awareness will contribute to a resilient future. Our project aims to spread environmental awareness among young people due to the above-mentioned problems.In this context, the objectives of the project are as follows:- To draw the attention of young people to global environmental issues, - Understanding environmental issues, contributing to young people's adaptation to changing environmental conditions and efforts to build resilience in their communities,- To demonstrate the importance of a clean and healthy environment for the well-being and resilience of living things on Earth, - Raising awareness of the costs of pollution and the advantages of renewable energy sources, - To draw attention to the relationship between environmental awareness and global citizenship, - Promote the democratic participation of young people in various problems and issues, especially environmental issues, - Defining the concept of environmental justice and brainstorming to develop fair solutions, - Encouraging young people to participate in tree planting campaigns, clean-up activities, green space advocacy, - To understand the importance of young people being role models for their peers and other stakeholders of society in their social environment, - To contribute to raising awareness among young people about leaving a more resilient environment for future generations.The other objectives of the project are to help young people to establish transnational social networks, to familiarize them with the values of the European Union, to familiarize them with the concept of active citizenship, as well as to lead activities that will improve the quality of youth work.
