In 1997 we launched the National Youth Action Plan for Habitat and Agenda 21, within the framework of the project that we carried out in partnership with United Nations Development Programme and Prime Ministry Housing Development Administration, as the result of a series of national and local meetings. Moreover, we organized the International Youth Follow Up to Habitat and Agenda 21, with the participation of 430 young people from 42 countries. We carried out the “Renewable Education Training” project in 1999 in order to raise awareness on clean and non-exhaustible energies, within the framework of the Global Environmental Facilities/Small Grants Project. Since 1997, we are executing the youth component of the Turkey Local Agenda 21 Program, in partnership with International Union of Local Authorities and United Nations Development Programme. We are continuing our activities geared towards establishment of partnerships and of local youth councils and youth centers in around 60 provinces in Turkey. Protective Families Campaign provided scholarships for 130 young people for one year by protective families who were willing to help them to sustain their education in the aftermath of the earthquake in August 1999 in Turkey. Moreover, youth centers have been established in Kocaeli, Bolu and Sakarya with the contributions of European Commission Humanitarian Aid Office within the framework of the Youth Centers in the Earthquake Region Project. We are carrying out the South East Anatolia Region Social Development Programme for Youth since May 2001, in partnership with the United Nations Development Programme, South East Project regional Development Administration, with the Contributions of the Swiss Development Agency. Youth centers have been established in the project cities in order to create social platforms for young people, to enhance their capacities and to enable them to take part in decision making processes.. The Association strives to contribute to Turkey’s European Union accession by implementing Euro-Med projects, awareness raising and information activities about the European Union and youth policies at the European Level.
