Our project will mainly cover topics from the disciplines of foreign policy, diplomacy, politics, society, economy, history, art and literature. In addition to these topics focused specifically on Türkiye, participants will also receive training on current trends in world politics, society and economy, as well as global issues such as conflict resolution, mediation and environmental diplomacy. As well to these trainings, which will be given by academics from leading universities, experts from think tanks/non-governmental organizations and senior bureaucrats, Turkish diplomats will give briefings on Türkiye's bilateral relations in a regional and global perspective.
Within the scope of the project, practices such as meeting games, orientation, program introduction, non-formal learning, group dynamics, sharing of good practices, producing, evaluating and monitoring future projects, as well as seminars with expert guests, official institution visits, cultural trips and activities will be carried out. It is aimed to carry out the studies in an interactive and dynamic way.
Participants who regularly participate in the activities within the scope of the project will be given a Youthpass+ participation certificate.
