PROJECT:
The Journey Today
“In the shoes of refugees” – Creating opportunities for young Europeans to learn about forced migration through offline simulation of refugee journeys and routes.Overall, the project aims at increasing awareness around the ever-increasing multiculturality of Europe, as well as bring attention to the challenges this multiculturality pauses for the region, as well as setting a stage for ways we dialogue on the solutions or general understanding of how we navigate this new context. We want to create awareness, as well as tolerance to our cultural diversity. The project’s span covers a great number of immediate and indirect target groups when the issue of migration is concerned and in other words, the project is meant for a great number of migrants and refugees who are supposed to protect and enliven their intangible cultural heritage as well as inhabitants of the host countries who are to be influenced by their interaction with the newcomers.

SUMMARY: The NesilFEST (Generation Festival) was developed as an output of the local project called AYNA which our organization implemented last year in cooperation with Turkish Ministry of Family and Social Policy.

We have planned a learning-oriented course for our volunteers in preparation-execution-dissemination of NesilFEST. In an age that inter-generational interaction is declining, we want to carry out the NesilFEST, which is the product of a successfully completed project called Active Lifestyle-Oriented Inter-generational Interaction Model Project, four times a year.

Technology and Information Retrieval Oriented Volunteering for Generation: Young volunteers will explain to the elders how the internet, computers and cell phones work. Being able to use communication technologies in times of need/crisis will increase the quality of life of the elder population.
Experience Sharing oriented Volunteering for Generation: In this module, memories, knowledge, experiences and photos of artists and craftsmen are shared. Manufacturing oriented Volunteering for Generation: Cooking, knitting and ceramics workshops in NesilKAFE, which will be an example of social entrepreneurship.
