TÜBİTAK Youth Programme

A new programme including the old Youth for Europe and European Voluntary Service programmes

Gives young people from the age of 15 upwards the chance to broaden their horizons and develop their sense of initiative through projects at hom or abroad.

While it provides structured European cooperation between youth organisations, local authorities, project leaders and others professionally concerned, the programme above all provides opportunities for mobility and informal learning to young people themselves.
