Culture Camp from Science to Art

Project: Youth Empowerment Camps
This project comprises three thematic camps designed to guide young people in acquiring knowledge and experience in various fields, developing their cultural and social skills, and stepping into a productive future: Innovation Camp, Fine Arts Camp, and History and Culture Camp.

Each camp is designed to enable young people to develop creative, critical, and analytical thinking skills by participating in both theoretical knowledge and practical applications. The project aims to provide a rich experience blending science, art, and history while strengthening young people's friendship, teamwork, and ability to adapt to different cultures.

Innovation Camp
The Innovation Camp includes seminars and practical activities to develop young people's teamwork and crisis management skills. It aims to increase young people's interest in technological innovations with artificial intelligence seminars, 3D printer workshops, and technology-themed film screenings. At the end of the camp, a sky observation event and a tour of Düzce province will offer participants both an educational and enjoyable experience.

Fine Arts Camp
This camp aims to help young people discover and develop their artistic sides. It includes creative activities such as handicrafts (Ebru making, candle and bookmark production), t-shirt painting workshops, and opera-ballet events. By exploring the historical and natural beauties of Akçakoca, participants will contribute to environmental cleaning and social projects with a sense of social responsibility.

History and Culture Camp
The History and Culture Camp aims to increase young people's historical awareness and experience cultural heritage firsthand. Trips to historical sites such as the Çanakkale Martyrs' Memorial, Topkapı Palace, Hagia Sophia, and the Sultan Ahmed Mosque are enriched with historian talks, letter and photo contests. Additionally, events held in Istanbul's cultural venues will offer an unforgettable experience for young people.

Project Objectives
These camps aim to educate while entertaining young people, increase their productivity, and raise them as individuals who are beneficial to society. Participants will develop empathy, cooperation, and communication skills by connecting with nature, and gain creativity and independence by working with young people from different cultures.

Target Audience
40 volunteer students aged 18-25 from different cultures and social backgrounds will participate in the project.
