Antalya Değer Yaratanlar Derneği (Antalya Value Creators Organization

The NGO was established on 20 September 2021 by people from different occupational backgrounds like businesspeople, tradespeople, teachers, university students, officers at public institutes of education. We all share the common belief in the need to create values in the lives of individuals of society we live in and respectively in the world

We are a local youth organization established to carry out activities in the fields of education, training, youth and sport to support citizens especially young people in their personal and professional development.

We are aware of the fact that high quality, inclusive education and training, as well as informal and non-formal learning, ultimately equip young people and people of all ages with the qualifications and skills needed for their meaningful participation in democratic society, intercultural understanding and successful transition in the labour market.

We have mission to encourage and enable young people to be better equipped with the knowledge, skills and competences needed in a dynamically changing society that is increasingly mobile, multicultural and digital.

Furthermore, we aim to develop digital skills and competences and skills in forward-looking fields, such as combating climate change, clean energy, artificial intelligence, robotics, big data analysis, etc. which is essential for Europe's future sustainable growth and cohesion.

We will realize all our missions through projects by bringing together young people from different countries to exchange and learn outside their formal educational system.
