KADINLARIN DEMOKRATİK HAYATA KATILIMI
Start date: Jan 1, 2015, End date: Nov 30, 2015 PROJECT  FINISHED 

The project revived as Katilimci Kadinlar Toplulugu (the Community of Participatory Women) thought of stepping in a more professional, participatory and international sense. Having realized that the European projects are the most efficient way to achieve our aim, we put our works into a project. Even though there exists a very large field of disadvantageousness in terms of women's rights, our community chose ""Women's Participation in Democratic Life"". For, democratic participation and active citizenship lie at the bottom of protecting women's rights. 20 participants from Estonia, Hungary, Portugal and Turkey joined the project and each country was represented by 5 participants. In the project, there were high school and university students, the ones who have just had their jobs, some managers in any line of work and adolescents with social awareness. Our participants were given seminars on the subjects of ""women's participation in democratic life"", ""active citizenship"", ""social visibility of women"" and ""women as decision-makers"". Besides, in order to be able to have a different perspective on subject and find solutions concerning it, the participants had discussions, simulations, animations, outdoor events, clip and documentary footages in groups. The project was effective in terms of increasing the awareness of young people regarding women's rights, and encouraging women to use their democratic rights. It had an impact on women's being decision-makers and making women visible by preventing social invisibility. Additionally, thanks to the project, the participants reinforced their values like democracy, friendship and solidarity by recognizing new cultures, habits and life styles.
