The mission of the Education Culture and Innovative Projects Association is to provide and promote mobility opportunities to help young people and members develop their work or study skills. It undertakes various initiatives that promote and develop active European citizenship, intercultural communication, musical and sports skills, social integration, media and journalism.
The association also works with disabled, refugee, immigrant, minority and disadvantaged young people in the areas of sociality, economy, geography etc. Our target group is primarily young people with fewer opportunities between the ages of 13-30. The association is also active in the field of new technologies and safe Internet use for young people.
It is to promote actions and activities aimed at helping young people develop a better life for themselves and their peers, raising awareness, helping public institutions on special issues related to young people, developing partnerships in the Erasmus + field and ensuring the participation of young people.
One of our main aims is to include disadvantaged young people in different methods such as sports, music, theatre, dance and painting and to transfer their deepened original expression to humanity. In order to achieve our goals, we cooperate with families, local governments, municipalities, primary schools, high schools, non-governmental organizations, associations, foundations, universities and NGOs and develop projects with them.

One of the most interesting features of our association is that artists who play instruments such as kanun, violin, ney, oud and piano do not interfere with the original characteristics of folk songs and interpret folk melodies without distorting their essence.
There are 15 young members of our group who come from the Abdal culture, such as Hacı Taşan and Neşet ERTAŞ.
Our association members have the knowledge, experience and maturity to be able to use their foreign languages ​​and to work on an international project.
