💼 What the programme involves

In this camp, volunteers will teach English to the selected staff of the Municipality to support Mersin Municipality's capacity strengthening activities. Thus, the skills of the personnel of Mezitli Municipality, which is the first in the world in the field of social innovation, will be increased, and these personnel will be able to serve the society better.

Volunteers will accommodate in the cute guesthouse of the Happy Life Village of the Municipality. The guesthouse has a shower, toilet and air conditioning, and has bunk beds. Volunteers will eat their food at Down Café where individuals with Down Syndrome work. The dishes will be prepared by the chefs of Down Café. Thus, the food needs of the volunteers will be met, and the employment and socialization processes of individuals with Down Syndrome will be supported. As a second possibility, hotel accommodation can be provided to volunteers.

Mersin and Mezitli are among the provinces and districts preferred for accommodation by the refugees from Syria who camed to Turkey due to the civil war. In this region, which has a Mediterranean coast full of palm trees, many cultures and communities coexist and there are many natural and cultural heritages from the Ancient Roman and Hellenistic Periods.
