Background: Democracy sensitivity and awareness of young people is always questioned all over the world. Generally, young people show uninterested, ignorant and insensitive attitude towards geopolitical position and political actions in their countries. Especially in underdeveloped countries with less economic, social and cultural activities, democratic attitude of young people occurs as ideological monomania. At all age groups, young people are ignorant to administrative actions in their countries. The major problem on this issue is limited action area given to young people by adults. Beyond the perception that politics is only matter of experience, serious budget allocations needed for election campaigns cause young people keep away from actual politic arena. Moreover, even politic actions related to youth are carried out by adults without involvement of young people in the process. Project Objectives: Our project aimed developing democratic culture, raising awareness, developing active citizenship understanding by means of a simulative approach and activities, such as preparing for the election by experiencing actual election process, electing demarch and town council, defining problems of their district, and offering solutions for those problems. The activities took place in Kahramanmaras province Binevler district in the city centre. Participants: 7 male + 7 female from Turkey, and 7 male + 7 female from Romania, totally 28 young participants took place in the implementation. The young participants were selected from disadvantaged groups with lower financial, educational background with limited access to social and cultural activities. Activities: Meeting visitor participants, accommodation, welcome party Presentations on youth opportunities by EU, presentations of countries (culture, arts, elections) Trainings for participants on election systems, by experts from District Election Board Fun and entertainment programme Interviews with local politicians (mayor, town councilor, Binevler demarch) Political career days Forming election board Defining demarch candidates and town council member candidates Forming ballot box committees Preparing declaration of elections Preparing posters, hangouts City tour, picnic Propaganda activities (by teams) Fun and entertainment programme Executing elections of demarch and town council Forming commissions for district administrations Defining problems by commissions, solution proposals (questionnaires in the district) Interviews with related authorities about the problems, dissemination activities Certificate delivery ceremony, farewell party Methodology: Throughout the project, a simulation of election was carried out in order to involve young participants as candidates and voters. Support were provided from local organizations, in order to create real-like election process.
