Individual volunteering

The project addresses limited opportunities for young people in Gaziantep to gain international experience, practise foreign languages and participate in volunteering activities. It also responds to the need for stronger interaction between university students, local communities, refugees and young people from different cultural backgrounds. Other identified needs include reducing prejudice and hate speech, improving social inclusion, increasing environmental awareness and strengthening young people’s digital, social and entrepreneurial skills. The objectives are to promote solidarity and intercultural dialogue, increase participation in volunteering and sports, improve participants’ personal and professional competences, and strengthen the university’s capacity for international cooperation.
