The partner GEDED organised the event “Urban Stories by Local Youth” on 21st March 2024. The activity was mostly for staff, associated members and volunteers of the organisation. In total 22 youth (mostly youth workers) participated and we contributed to make local youths aware of the hi-story of their city by storytelling method. Because we believe that youth can participate -in urban life- as much as they know about it.
On 23rd of April the event “Preparing Youth for Disasters in Urban” took place in Diyarbakir. The activity was organised together with Uluslararası Gençlik İnisiyatifi Derneği for local youth (organised youth people, they were members or volunteers in different NGOs) and 24 people participated in it. After the awful earthquake in 2023, it has been noticed how people are not prepared and not well organised after the disasters. Therefore we trained local youth about how to be organised during disasters especially after earthquakes, floods, keeping an eye on the reconstruction and readaptation of damaged urban areas.
