The international youth mobility program themed “Youth Social Participation in Post-Normal Times,” organized within the scope of the Erasmus+ KA151 project carried out by the Bülbülzade Association and supported by the Turkish National Agency, has begun in Gaziantep.
The five-day program, taking place from November 10–14, 2025, brings together a total of 45 young participants from Turkey, Germany, Belgium, Bosnia and Herzegovina, France, the Netherlands, Italy, Lithuania, Hungary, Jordan, and Syria.
Hosted by the Bülbülzade Association and the Bülbülzade Foundation, the event includes partner organizations such as the US Academiker Platform (USAP) from Germany, New Horizon from Belgium, Bildung Nijmegen from the Netherlands, IFS Emmaus from Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Tavo Europa from Lithuania.
Throughout the event, young participants will explore ways to enhance their active involvement in social life. The program aims to strengthen young people’s abilities in social participation, engagement in democratic processes, and generating solutions to societal challenges.
Moreover, participants will collaborate with peers from different countries to develop creative solutions to the challenges faced in post-normal times and become role models who make a positive impact within their own communities.
During the program, participants will visit the Gaziantep Solid Waste Facility and the city’s historical and cultural sites. Additionally, a tree planting activity will be held at the Bülbülzade Foundation’s Liberation Forest.
This five-day mobility activity aims to raise environmental awareness among young people and encourage them to become environmentally conscious individuals.
