Description
This project brings together European youth and local children at Mamak Youth Center through shared activities. Volunteers will support the summer camp by leading English speaking clubs, workshops, and interactive sessions. Activities may also take place in themed areas like sports, music, or coding rooms, offering a chance to engage with local youth while experiencing Turkish culture. All activities will be hosted at Mamak Youth Center. The center offers a dynamic environment with access to facilities such as sports areas, music and arts rooms, and IT classrooms. Activities will primarily serve children and youth from migrant or economically disadvantaged backgrounds, aiming to foster inclusion, creativity, and personal development.

Daily transport to Mamak Youth Center is reimbursed. Volunteers receive €5/day for food and €5/day as pocket money.
