DEMOCRATIC DREAMS

In 2010, within the framework of Youth Action 1.3 Youth Democracy Projects for Europe, With the project called Democratic Dreams, we aimed to actively participate in representative democracy mechanisms with young people from different countries of Europe. We wanted young people living in rural areas to take a more active role in democratic life and fulfill their active citizenship duties.

We held workshops on strengthening mutual understanding and European cooperation among young people from different countries, social cohesion and increasing the participation of disadvantaged young people in rural areas in decision-making processes.

Young people visited Afyonkarahisar Municipality, Municipal City Council, Afyonkarahisar Provincial General Assembly, Tradesmen and Craftsmen Credit and Surety Cooperative Presidents, who are the local partners and supporters of the project, during their stay in Afyon.

To our project; 30 young people from joined from Latvia, Lithuania, Romania and Turkey and all activities were held in Afyonkarahisar.
