As Bülbülzade Association, we have successfully completed our project titled “Digital Opportunities and the Future.” Hosted by Bosnia and Herzegovina and supported by IFS-EMMAUS, the project brought together students from various cities of Türkiye and Bosnian youth to build a shared digital future.
The Erasmus+ KA151 Youth Workers Mobility project, carried out by Bülbülzade Association under the title “Digital Opportunities and the Future,” hosted in Bosnia and Herzegovina and supported by IFS-EMMAUS, has been successfully concluded. This comprehensive program, held in Bosnia and Herzegovina between January 17–23, brought together Anatolian Federation secondary school students from different cities of Türkiye and Bosnian youth. With a large team of 40 participants, we carried out social, cultural, and educational activities over six days.
STRENGTHENING THE SENSE OF SOLIDARITY AND SHARING
In line with our aim to go beyond theory, participants took part in volunteer-based workshops as well as historical and cultural visits. To better understand Bosnia’s historical and cultural heritage, we visited the cities of Tuzla and Sarajevo and kept travel notes. We also visited the Srebrenica Genocide Memorial Cemetery and the Srebrenica War Museum, where we had the opportunity to witness the deep traces of history firsthand. To reinforce the spirit of solidarity, we visited elderly residents in a nursing home.
DOCUMENTARY FILMING WAS CONDUCTED
Our volunteer activities featured sincere and life-centered moments. We visited an elderly woman who had lost her relatives in the Srebrenica Massacre and was living alone in her village. We conducted a heartfelt interview with her and tried to add a bit of color to her daily life. After helping her carry firewood, we received her heartfelt thanks and continued on our way.
To help participants get to know each other better and strengthen group cohesion, we organized various games, group activities, and workshops. Alongside these activities, we enhanced our digital awareness through training seminars titled “Opportunities of the Digital Age and the Future,” which was the main theme of our project. At the end of this process, we produced short videos and documentaries from which we all learned valuable lessons.
A CRITICAL STEP BETWEEN TWO COUNTRIES
We believe that this gathering went far beyond a simple visit program and represents a critical step toward strengthening youth cooperation between Bosnia and Herzegovina and Türkiye. As Bülbülzade Association, we have decided to continue such initiatives with participants and partner institutions in order to increase international solidarity among young people and strengthen their sense of social responsibility.
