Volunteers from the European Solidarity Corps—Maria M., Gunay M., Revan M., Fatiha Z., Nahraven M., Gabrielle C., and Angelina P.—visited the Youth Mobility Coordination Unit of the Turkish National Agency under the leadership of our coordinators, Emil S. and Hamza Y.
 
They were received by Coordinator Alim Sarıaslan, along with Expert Gökhan Türkbey Kuloğlu and Assistant Expert İlker Küçükdemirci.
 
This visit was conducted in conjunction with participants arriving as part of the youth mobility project currently being implemented by our association in Ankara.
 
As the Erasmus Mobility Coordinator of S&G, I found this visit incredibly insightful for both our association and our volunteers. It was a wonderful opportunity for our ESC volunteers to exchange ideas and strengthen bonds with other international peers.
 
Furthermore, we had the privilege of introducing the institutional structure and vision of the Turkish National Agency to the international participants who arrived in Ankara as part of the Digitopia project. From a coordinator’s perspective, it was a valuable chance to address our questions regarding our ongoing and future projects directly with the experts. We left the meeting with highly beneficial information and renewed motivation, and I am confident that such high-level engagements will significantly enhance the quality of our future initiatives.

Yesterday, I had the opportunity to visit TRNA in Ankara together with my System&Generation team, and it was truly a valuable experience. 
The event was both engaging and insightful, offering a dynamic environment where ideas and perspectives could be freely exchanged.
 
One of the most enriching aspects was the chance to listen to participants from various European Countries.
 
As someone already working in this sector of AI and Digital Marketing, I found the discussions around the DIGITOPIA Project particularly relevant and stimulating. 
It was fascinating to explore different approaches, challenges, and solutions.
 
Overall, the experience was not only informative but also inspiring. It provided a great opportunity to connect with others and reflect on how these ideas could be applied within my own professional context.

Yesterday, we visited the Turkish National Agency for the Digitopia project. During the visit, we had the opportunity to meet participants from different countries, including Turkey, Finland, Sweden, Tunisia and etc. Some of the participants were visiting Turkey for the first time, and we spoke with them about their experiences, gathering feedback on what they liked and what could be improved. We also exchanged contact information to collaborate on future projects and had meaningful conversations. Afterwards, we were kindly hosted by the National Agency. Overall, it was a very valuable and enjoyable experience.
