TARGET GROUP
Our project group is formed of High School and University students. Our participants
have never participated in any Youth project with disadvantages and without abroad experience.
FEDERATION OF DISABLED ASSOCIATIONS
The Federation of Disabled Associations is an umbrella organisation holding 9
organisations. Our Federation, tries to enable the creation of common policies with a
participating approach. Our Federation was established to find fundamental solutions for the
problems of the disabled children, young and adult people related to health, education,
rehabilitation, employment, care and living, to provide their economical and social security, to
protect their legal and professional rights, to enable them to activate and improve nongovernmental activities, to enable service providing the member organisations functioning in this
area, to provide support to the persons and organisations providing service in the sector of the
disabled, to implement work related to the disabled in cooperation with the parties concerned,
namely the local administrations.
PROJECT SUMMARY
E-democracy, digital democracy, and e-government are all phenomena that are
developing together with ICT sector growth and rapid public-service development processes.
Governments, have strongly supported change in the Information Society and in electronic
services. From a broad perspective the change is not only about transferring the services onto the
Internet and making them reachable via different network infrastructures: it is more a question of
profound strategic change in public-sector services overall, and a new kind of “virtual”
citizenship. Support for traditional political participation will come from technology, online
information, 24 hour discussion groups, and local virtual arenas such as municipality websites.
Participation, voting, and especially, youth empowerment are important activities for building up
the Information Society. In this situation our project aim to develop a new participation model
for e-democracy thanks to web-site info points which establish in municipality, project activities
that realise with 24 youth during 5 days, online radio and radio.
The project was realised on 19-25 March 2013 with the participation of organisations
from 2 different countries in Ankara Şereflikoçhisar. The project was realized with total 28
participants, including 24 young people- 12 young people from Turkey and 12 young people
from Estonia. Our Federation and the Municipality of Şereflikoçhisar were the partner
organisations from Turkey and two disabled organisations called THINK Estonia and Talinna ja
Harjumaa Association of the Hard of Hearing from Estonia.
We
coordinated a 5-day project activity training and Youth Meeting in Ankara
Şereflikoçhisar District with participation of 2 European countries. The event gathered together
a total of 28 participants including 24 young people (with and without disability) from 2
European countries with a digital background. All the participants daily use the information
technologies for sharing, broadcasting and appreciating data on the internet. They have gained an
awareness of using the internet technologies for the purpose of “democracy”. The fact that the 28
participants coming from 2 countries for the project activity trainings focused intensively on the
project theme was observed as a positive situation clearly revealing the reflection that the project
5
preparation meeting reached its objectives. Understanding and being understood was
experienced by the young people with pride as the biggest prize the young people could ever
give each other in the e-democracy project activity meeting.
Within the framework of the Action 1.3 project “E-democracy,” 150 young people
studying in schools located in Şereflikoçhisar was given the “E-democracy project awareness
training”on 14-20 February 2013. The aim was to enable the target youth group to discuss the
concept of “e-democracy” and to create an awareness about the concept. For the project groups
of 30 people were provided energizing awareness training called “e-democracy” for 5 days.
The content of the Project was a youth meeting on democracy to form an awareness of
the implementations of “e-democracy” for 4 organisations from 2 different countries. Within the
framework of the Project, discussion upon the topics of active citizenship, voting, democratic
participation, European citizenship, intercultural learning, learning by doing and exchange of
ideas on cultural diversity were realized. Awareness creative ideas were established on how and
how effective these democratic rights as social e-democracy can be used on social media or
electronic, virtual environment.
Through exchange of ideas and experiences, we developed personal, organizational,
national and European awareness about the topics of the project. All three of the Youth
programme priorities- European citizenship, youth participation and inclusion were realized
through workshops, discussions and meeting with policy makers (one of the partners are the
Municipality of Şereflikoçhisar).
In the light of these aims, active participation was ensured through questionaires, reports
and information procedures, online radio programmes were performed from the beginning to the
end of the project cycle, info points were formed and e-democracy awareness trainings were
provided by various information meetings.
“It was so useful for me to participate in this project activity. I have started to think more
about democracy.” (Participant, E-democracy)
“I have found the opportunity to meet young people coming from different cultures.
Everything was so good.” (Participant, E-democracy)
AIMS AND OBJECTIVES OF PROJECT
The project covers an international youth meeting on the themes of: E-democracy, digital
democracy, and e-government, European Citizenship, virtual citizenship, active citizenship,
participation, voting and Cultural Diversity. It aims to analyse these phenomena in great depth
using non-formal education to implement the process of social inclusion that gives value to
cultural diversities for a future of mutual understanding and increased acceptance through
learning and opportunity.
This project does not only aim training but also changing the future by influencing young
people’s global awareness about virtual citizenship and enabling youth empowerment and
inspiring the policy and law makers to make new legal regulations for the use of internet for the
purpose of democracy and support European collaboration among the countries. Additional
purpose is to create active citizenship among young people in these countries.
6
Aims of the project is to provide a European citizenship awareness among young people,
to involve activities encouraging participation in democratic life and active participation of
young people, to fight against xenophobia and racism and to create respect towards cultural
diversity, to improve the intercultural learning of young people by providing opportunity for
common activities of young people with different cultural, ethnic and religious background,
ensuring the full participation of young people with less opportunities especially disabled young
people in social, Cultural and Economic society as an important priority of the European
Commission. These issues are compatible with the objectives and the priorities of the Youth
Programme.
Our project meets the priority of the Youth Programme “to encourage the European
cooperation in Youth field” with its aim of dissemination of the “e-democracy model” to be
developed under the project throughout Europe.
With this model the disadvantaged young people shall be involved in the process while
the model is disseminated in schools with cooperation of local administration and national
education directorate and an important way shall be made for active citizenship.
To this end, our project meets the priority of the youth programme “to encourage the
active citizenship in general and European citizenship in particular”.
Thanks to the cooperation developed with our partners from Estonia and through the
awareness developed among all EU youth and local administration on the internet, the project
also meets the priority of “strengthening the mutual understanding among young people in
different countries”. Also our project aims to realize the governance process by improving the
cooperation between the local administration and the civil society in our country so it meets the
priority of “contributing to improvement of the quality of the support systems related to Youth
activities and the capacities of the NGO’s in the youth area”.

The theme of our Youth Meeting was realized through discussions, workshops, working in
groups, excursions focused on history and culture, cultural nights, evening parties and spare
time spent together. Brain storming, telling, active participation, group and team work, learning
by doing, theoretical inputs and energizers were certainly applied in the project.

INTERCULTURAL DIMENSION
Intercultural learning is one of the important parts and requirements of the programme of the
project.
The Youth meeting tries to reveal the exploration and comparison of different realities and
approaches from wider angle to issues such as social exclusion, prejudice and youth by using
mutual and external cultural experiences, information and desires and starts to develop positive
ways for the socially included futures.
The intercultural learning methods enabled the participants to co-exist completely with the
social, cultural and politic environment, which influence the lives of young people today and to
explore the reflections that cause exclusion and alienation to their societies.
Our project is established on respect and tolerans towards those in the shared environment and
aims to demonstrate approval of the content, difference and diversity of the partnership. Both
personally and cooperatively many opportunity was caught by the participants for helping to
improve and challenge their points of view, knowledge and ideas in the world they had been
living.
It was a project including activities that participants coming from different countries and nations
implemented. So it was a nice opportunity for the participant young people to gather together to
realize activities in the aim of getting to know other cultures. The cultural night organized was a
fruitful activity for raising the positive awareness to other cultures. Because we think that it was
an important point that they observed the differences and similarities personally from the
representatives of that culture at a night when the signs of each country’s own culture can be
witnessed.
• The project supports the dialogue and intercultural meetings between the participants coming
from different histories and cultures,
• The project helps prevention and fight against all behaviours causing prejudice, racism and
social exclusion,
• The project improves understanding of tolerance feeling and diversity,
We think that we have prepared a project aiming to gain pace towards becoming individuals
having more respect, tolerance to other cultures and being open for dialogue by decreasing the
intolerance and failure of acceptance of people as they are, which is the common problem of
today’s societies.
EUROPEAN DIMENSION
Young people participating in the project became in intercultural interaction by meeting each
other and this enabled people coming from different parts of Europe to have communication with
each other. This made them to be more tolerant and moderate towards each other. The
communication of the young people still go on via social media and electronic communication
by improving.
23
In addition we also aimed to enable people to have more information about EU and member
countries and to become more sensitive towards Europe, the position of Turkey in EU. The
participants came from different countries, societies with different cultural background and this
provided people with the opportunity to get to know individuals grown in societies with different
beliefs, traditions and life styles and societies they had never caught the chance of exploring
before. Especially the ability of the Estonian young people using the Estonian sign language to
understand the Turkish young people using the Turkish sign language, meeting each other,
creating a unity of ideas were awarenesses that was worth seeing.
VISIBILITY
In all material work to be realized in the implementation of the project (brochures, slides, cd's,
organizations and excursions) it was stated as an EU project and Youth Programme was
mentioned. Our project was shared with all our environment and in the TV, radio and newspaper
interviews this project was highlighted as an EU project under the framework of the Youth

FOLLOW UP AND EVALUATION
In general it was a very nice project, the participant youth were so close and no problem
occurred. In the end of the good communication they demanded to submit new projects in their
countries to improve our partnership even more. For the young people such an experience of a
project was a new one and we witnessed that they had reasonable positive changes in the end of
the project. This proved that we achieved our objectives.
“It was so useful for me to participate in this project activity. I have started to think more
about democracy.” (Participant, E-democracy)
“I have found the opportunity to meet young people coming from different cultures.
Everything was so good.” (Participant, E-democracy)
RESULT
During the project the participants had the opportunity to put forward their points of view, ideas
and decisions globally as a whole. A daily preliminary evaluation and an official final evaluation
in the end of the programme were realized with the participants. The final evaluation addressed
learning about the ideas of the participants on the success and failure of the programme and how
they can function in their local in the future.
The ongoing communication shall demonstrate that the cooperation between partners are
sustainable and shall form a potential for other future collaboration. For the sustainable
communication the most useful media shall be e-mail.
In local and international level we aim to realize new projects and initiatives under the
framework of Youth Programmes to reach and include more disadvantaged young people.
