Description of organisation

Engelleri Aşın Derneği (ENDER), founded on December 30, 2022, in Malatya, is a civil society organization dedicated to helping individuals with disabilities and those affected by the earthquake overcome various “barriers,” such as language limitations, financial challenges, and geographic constraints. The organization’s work is driven by five specialized groups:

1. Special Education Group: This team includes special education experts and students from across Turkey who work on projects to raise awareness and provide support to individuals with special needs. They assist with educational resources, workshops, and accessibility-focused initiatives aimed at promoting inclusive practices.
2. Psychology Group: Composed of young professionals and psychology students from different cities, this team contributes expertise in mental health and well-being
3. Malatya Volunteer Team: Made up of local youth based in Malatya, this group organizes in-person events and activities within the city.
4. Project Writing Team: This team focuses on securing funding through well-crafted project proposals, primarily under EU and Erasmus+ programs.
5.Social Media Team: Responsible for enhancing the association’s visibility.
Although still a young organization, Engelleri Aşın Derneği has already organized numerous online and in-person activities and is actively implementing Erasmus+ projects, including KA155 and KA152.
