Start date: Jan 1, 2015, End date: Feb 29, 2016 PROJECT  FINISHED 

Young people generally learn many incidents those might effect them or the society they live in just from social media and react with the same they learn; with social media. Sometimes they just do not react. In a worse case; due to the unsuccessful attempt/reaction they had before, they are being leaded to in a desperate position or anger. So their reactions could easily result like the ones happened in Istanbul Gezi and Artvin HES protests. On the other hand decision makers could easily temp to take tougher precautions just because they observe every reaction with a potential to lead an illegal attempt. As a result, a case which might be resulted in a peaceful way with a structured dialog could end up as a mess. This process inevitably lead young people and youth organizations to hopelessness, anger, irritation and distrust. The other side of the table also go to in a mood of suspicion and neglectful. Because the decision makers generally temp to evaluate the cases they face firstly how it is being presented. In that point, the presentation is more important than the case being presented due to their perception. With our project we have aimed to pass on these qualifications to young people and youth organziations; - to learn the incidents from the right sources - after learning the case deeply, to investigate all alternative methods (from local to national level) to deal with the case - how to develop a strategy - to create a structured and sustainable dialog with the other side. As a result of the project, we also aimed that; the decision makers should see that every initiative they face is not just an opposition, it could also be a reflection of right, tasks and responsibilities of being a citizen. Within the project we had two different seminars in two different cities in Turkey, by reaching almost 140 participants. In the seminars we discussed and worked on; - basic concepts of the field - developing a strategy - best practices and two case studies At the end of our seminars we aimed to create a structured dialog (which we have all legal basis in Turkey) between the sides.
