Association of Anatolian Young Educators

Anatolian Young Educators is a Non-Profit, Non-Governmental Organization whose main aim is to touch the hearts of the youngsters at different age groups and from various backgrounds with informal teaching and learning methods. As it is understood from the name of the association, most of the members are teachers at schools from primary to high schools so we all are in close contact with the youngsters who go on their formal educations or leave the school before its usual time. University students and also even the youngsters who don’t attend any formal educational instittution are among the target group of the association. In Turkey especially in the frame of youth works there is a big gap between the youngsters and the youth workers and relevant skateholders. As an association we aim to create a youth policy at local, national and international level refering to priorities and objectives of European Commission 2020 Strategies on Youth such as digital competences, learning to learn, social and civic competence, cultural awareness and expression, sense of initiative and entrepreneurship and communication in multiple foreign languages.
