🇹🇷🇪🇺 YOUTH EXCHANGE "ACT NATURAL"

Youth For Better Tomorrow Anka Youth Team Germany

🥺Here we are, at the last day. Last days are always hard, but we know it's not a goodbye, it's a see you later.
🗒 In the morning we did our individual evaluations. Each of us filled an anonymous form about project. After we had final evaluation as national teams. We said an early see you later to our German team and in the afternoon, each team finalized the videos from yesterday.
🎖 After dinner, we had an Oscar's night where videos got Oscars and participants got Youthpass certificates. Thanks to our partner organisations and participants, It was a great week overall🇪🇸🇷🇴🇹🇷🇩🇪🇮🇹
See you in other projects and stay green!🌿💚

Here we are with the 5th day of Youth Exchange🌿
☀️Today was a bit relaxed after yesterday's Kızılcahamam trip. We started at 10.30 in the morning with an energizer and afterwards we separated in groups. Each group had a different topic to make videos about it such as engagement in nature, survival skills and natural resources.
🌴After lunch, we headed to Göksu Park which is a green area around a lake. We shoot our videos in nature and spent some chill time there. You can see us having a boat trip at lake🚣🏽‍♂️
That was all from 5th day, see you tomorrow✌🏽

🏞️🛀🌳 A Day to Remember in Kızılcahamam! 🎉🌲
Today was yet another spectacular free day! Following our amazing experience in Ankara, we embarked on a new adventure in the serene heart of Kızılcahamam. Our day started with a soul-soothing walk through the lush green forest. We paused at a breathtaking terrace for some time and were in awe of an ancient fossilized tree - a silent testament to nature's ageless beauty! 🌳💚
The second part of our day was all about rejuvenation as we soaked up the tranquility at a traditional hamam. The blend of warmth, water, and relaxation left us feeling refreshed and invigorated. 🛀⛲
We wrapped up our day with a short exploration of Kızılcahamam. The town welcomed us with its own unique charm and warmth. Each street, corner, and face told a story, making our visit more rewarding. 🏞️🎊
Another unforgettable day in the books! We can't wait to see what other treasures Turkey has to offer. Here's to more laughter, joy, and shared memories! Stay tuned and stay green! 🌍💚🎉 ANKA Youth Association

Here we are with the 2nd day of Youth Exchange!
🇹🇷We started the day with Turkish team's activity where we separated in teams and played a scene about a case.
🇪🇸 Then, we continued with Spanish team's activities. First we had a recycling game as an energizer and then had a debate about Spain's environmental steps.
♻️Afterwards, it was Act Natural time which means going out for interviews with local people. We asked them questions about their environmentally sustainable routines and recorded it.
🎇Finally in the night we had a wonderful intercultural night where each country presented their food, dances and musics. See you in 3rd day!👋

Let us tell you more about 1st day of Youth Exchange!
☀️We started the day with an energizer to get to know each other. Afterwards, we answered some questions about "acting natural" such as "what we do to be more sustainable in our daily lives?" in pairs outside.
🕚 In the afternoon, each national team presented a specific topic. Lastly, we had pair activities outside such as "sniff of bear" which we grabbed an object and made our pair to recognize it by its smell. 💚🌍

A great project left behind!
Youth Exchange took place in Ankara between 9-17 July 2023. 🇹🇷 It's impossible to share all the good memory we had in here but here is a little summary:
✅Thanks to our facilitator&trainer , we had wonderful activities during the week. We shared ideas and implemented workshops about topics such as natural sources, engagement in nature, survival skills, climate change, recycling, so on.
🏃‍♀️We visited Kızılcahamam Soguksu National Park and Göksu Park for trekking.
💃We had fun at intercultural&game nights!
🎇Finally we had an Oscar's ceremony where we got our Youthpass certificates.
💚Special thanks to our partners .ro and all our participants for this amazing week!
👋See you in other projects!🌍
