🏢 About the local organisation
As one of GHD’s program, “East-West Camp” is organizing one week project consisting informal and nonformal education for socially and economically disadvantaged youth to empower them. We try to give the equal opportunities to low income youth to participate for learning by doing. For more information on the program: http://www.dogubatikampi.org/sayfa/23/general-information
20-25 university students from different cities of Türkiye will have a chance to experience intercultural learning & different activities during this camp. Including 2 coordination leaders, the majority of the group will be Turkish.
