In partnership with Counterpart International, YIC was able to give four
participants an unforgettable experience— to spend a week in Şivas, Turkey, learning
about the importance of solidarity and social assistance among young people, with
participants from all across the European continent.
While the Youth Initiative Center is frequently both an organizing and participating
organization in Youth in Action projects and initiatives, this one was particularly
special. The program was specifically designed to reach youth from disadvantaged
backgrounds; and with the generous support of Counterpart International, the
participant costs could be covered. YIC gave an open call among the 41 Youth and
Community Action Centers (YCAC) throughout the country, and four participants
from four different regions of Armenia were chosen to attend the week-long
international youth exchange.
As part of the program, participants were encouraged to recognize not only
marginalized groups within their own countries, but also to identify groups who
could assist and support such groups. And during the final days of the exchange,
participants were given the opportunity to visit the local municipality and service-
oriented organizations, where they learned first-hand about innovative and effective
social assistance programs.
Just as importantly, bringing 30 young people from Lithuania, Georgia, Russia,
Moldova, and Turkey also promoted cross-cultural understanding and appreciation
among the participants, and strengthened their skills in cooperation and teamwork
while encouraging tolerance toward different lifestyles and points of view.
