Project Context

K.N.O.W. is about raising awareness among youth workers about our common
history and values, mutually understanding our different perspectives and
reinforcing the sense of belonging to the European family we live in. Our European
cultural heritage is actually the result of the joint contributions of many different
cultures. This European heritage has been built over a long period of time filtered
from the past. The project will promote intercultural understanding among the
participants and support diversity in Europe as a resource culturally, historically and
economically. Through the various events, participants will realize the need for a
common Europe and to use a common language to facilitate communication.

 

Objectives

•To promote cultural diversity, intercultural dialogue and social cohesion;
•Emphasizing the economic contribution of cultural heritage to the cultural and creative
sectors locally and to local and regional development;
•To emphasize the role of cultural heritage in European cultural diplomacy;
•Underlining the importance of preserving our common cultural heritage;
•Deepening the link between young people and the European Cultural heritage;
•To raise the awareness of European citizens of Europe’s wealth and cultural diversity;
•Creating a climate in which appreciation of the richness and mosaics of European cultures
is encouraged
•Strengthen the feeling of sharing the same identity among European youth workers;
•Promote racism and xenophobia and greater tolerance in Europe and beyond national
borders.

 

The Erasmus+is the EU’s programme to support education,training, youth and sports in Europe. Its budget of €14.7
billion will provide opportunities for over 4 million Europeans to study, train, and gain experience abroad.
This training course is targeted at youth workers and youth leaders (active members of organizations, communities who work with young
people & are involved in activities carried out by sending organizations). Ideally, participants should be in a position of daily working with
youngsters. It is not a must to be a full active member of the sending organization as the youth workers may come from the community youth
centers or local schools & institutions of partner organizations.

Interkultural Evening

During a special evening, we will share characteristics from our culture. We ask
you to bring foods and alcoholic/non-alcoholic drinks and magnets to share! You
can also think of some other things to share with the group from your culture:
stories, dances/songs, etc. Please do not make only PowerPoint presentations or
country promotion videos, as it would be best if you can share something in your
own words and with physical examples if you can. By the way, presenting
something from your culture does not mean it has to be something about only
the country itself: it can also be from a specific region or a city, etc.
As we are trying to collect special and different magnets from each city and
country to make an international wall we would like to have one magnet from
your hometown as well. We would like to see your impact on our organization to
remember you through your magnet.

About Turkey

Turkey, a country that occupies a unique geographic position, lying partly in
Asia and partly in Europe. Throughout its history, it has acted as both a barrier
and a bridge between the two continents. Turkey is larger than some European
travel countries such as Italy, France, Germany, and the UK. Turkey offers a
wealth of destination varieties to travelers: from dome-and-minaret filled
skyline of Istanbul to Roman ruins along the western and southern coasts, from
heavily indented coastline against a mountainous backdrop of Lycia and wide
and sunny beaches of Pamphylia to cold and snowy mountains of the East, from
crazy “foam parties” of Bodrum to Middle Eastern-flavoured cities of
Southeastern Anatolia, from verdant misty mountains of Eastern Black Sea to
wide steppe landscapes of Central Anatolia, there is something for everyone’s
taste.

About Antalya

The westerly region of Turkey’s Mediterranean coastline is especially popular. There are
abundance of beach kinds such as Rocky, sandy beaches as well as pebbly beaches
especially around the Konyaalti Bay. With a particularly diverse landscape, it is actually
quite feasible to enjoy a morning swim, and then head to the Taurus Mountains for a
spot of skiing in the afternoon at the neighbouring resort of Davras.
Antalya’s historical Old Town area known as Kaleici. It offers beautiful harbour views
and is surrounded by medieval fortified walls, which date back before both the Roman
and Byzantine periods and have been restored many times. Currently it is the fastest
growing city in Turkey. Besides, Antalya enjoys an idyllic climate for a good deal of the
year and much tourism.
Weather: The climate in Antalya is warm and temperate. The winter months
are also sunny most of the time. However it is also rainy and the rains are so
dense in winter times.
Health & safety: Tap water is drinkable. Besides, Antalya is very safe to visit,
with a low crime rate and and high safe index.
