Most of us live in very big and crowded cities. And as the time passes the
places we live and our city have been changing. We want to share this life
together for 6 days and take photos from all different ways of life in Ankara.
So, we will visit many places and take photos with our digital cameras.
We believe in the power of the arts as a medium for social transformation and
that the re-connection to create processes within social, educational,
governmental and non-governmental structures. This exchange program aims to
give Turkish and European organisations the opportunity to enhance exchange,
partnership and co-operation. By discussing the experiences of the
participants from various countries we hope to create chances to establish
face-to-face contacts and discover new opportunities for further and long
lasting relationships between different countries.
Photography, especially digital photography, is increasingly used as a
tool for bringing new social processes, development in all sections of our
global society. We would like to bring together and catalyse the young people
in the concept of photography and co-operate and share experiences and projects
through collaboration in the area of art and bring new intercultural learning
in the concept of photography. This exchange aims at bringing together youth
leaders and experts to discuss art issues and real-life problems and to develop
communication and negotiation skills
The activities to be done will concern about the knowledge, skills and
motivation of the participants. We believe that giving chance young people to
show their desires and skills with other young people by sharing the same
atmosphere and showing them that they can create new things even in a short
period of time this project will encourage them to be more active in their
real life.
There will be 3 activities on 3 different topics. These are:
the advantages and the disadvantages of living in a big city
