Resumo: The project proposed will take place in the city, an under-industrialized town with a population of 1 milion 140 thousand 85 people. It is surrounded by seas, mountains, and forests. Its economy mainly depends on agriculture and tourism. Despite the fact that the city has a quite high rate of educated people, poverty and unemployment continue to be the major problems of the inhabitants of the city. Related to those, the numbers of dysfunctional families, single parents, and of children and young people who are substance-depended, who are run-away from home, and who are involved in violence and crime are increasing everyday. The city suffers from the lack of investments but is in quite well shape in terms of transportation, communication, accommodation and entertainment. As far as public transport is concerned, there is a good network especially by busses and trains.

It takes only 2-3 hours by bus from the city to Izmir and Bursa, two of the biggest cities of Turkey. Living in this place is considered to be very cheap and easy. Especially in the summer time, Ayvalýk and Edremit, two provinces, are full of tourists because of their beautiful beaches and mountains.

Most of our current members have already got serious experience in YOUTH/EVS either as a coordinator or as mentors. So far, we organized and implemented 7 EVS long term projects, 6 short term EVS projects as the host organization and many projects as the sending organization. Thus, we already know how EVS volunteers make very significant contributions to the personal developments of children and youngsters.

The volunteer will have different options as working places.

Thanks to our partnership with local authorities and institutions, volunteer can work on three different areas.

First, s/he can work in the institutions for elderly people
S/he can help those people in their daily activities. The elderly people can have a walk or run in it especially during Spring and Summer. They can also get fresh air, have chats with each other, and host their gests. Most important of all, they can do some creative out-door activities here (for instance, gardening). And volunteer’s tasks will be creating outdoor activities for their spare time and help to the caretakers.

Perfil: The volunteers should be willing to work outside and to do some manual work such as wall-building, carpentry and painting. They are expected to have the ability of team work and adaptation to intercultural environment. Some knowledge of Turkish language and culture might be helpful but is not compulsory. The project is open to all youngsters including those who have little or no resources. Those who have some disabled youngster or elderly persons in their family or close relatives would be a reason of preference. To ensure an open and transparent recruitment process as well as the overall accessibility of EVS to all young people, we will announce this project and our free placements in a number of cyber places including in EVS Works, which is known to have a wide audience. The volunteers will be selected according to the balance of gender and origin of citizenship. We will select at least 20 % of the volunteers out of those young people who have little or no resources. Concerning the sending organization, our main criteria will be that the sending organization is a serious and experienced organization and that they are willing for a long-standing and mutual cooperation.

Tarefas: The project intends to strengthen physical and spiritual health of disadvantaged segments of society such as the elderly people, the disabled and the poor youth. It intends to do this by creating opportunities for out-door activities for such social segments. More concretely, the project is based on the idea of renovating backyards and/or activity rooms of local institutions serving to the elderly, the disabled, and the poor youth.

Another aim of the project is to contribute to the personal development of the volunteers by offering the following activities and opportunities for them:
• Turkish language course for 6 hours in a week by an experienced private teacher.
• Information on the Turksih system of social services and youth work
• Visits to institutions of social services in/ out region (hostels for the elderly, the children and youngsters under protection, and the mentally disabled).
• Trips to historical, touristic, and natural places in and around our region.
• Opportunities to participate in artstic and cultural activities taking place in and around our region.
• Opportunities to benefit from the sportive facilities in our city.
• Activities and training on gardening, wood work, and painting. • Training and workshops on healthy life.
