From Rural to Digital: Cultural Empowerment

“From Rural to Digital: Cultural Empowerment” unites youth to foster intercultural dialogue, tolerance, teamwork, leadership and digital cultural connections

To foster intercultural communication, build understanding and tolerance among young people, and foster intercultural connection through digital media. The From Rural to Digital: Cultural Empowerment project is a youth exchange project designed to foster intercultural communication, build understanding and tolerance among young people, and foster intercultural connection through digital media. It also aims to develop teamwork and leadership skills. Young people from different countries and cultures will come together to create cultural connections through games specific to their cultures.
Our project has been planned locally in Afyonkarahisar with the aim of eliminating cultural differences among disadvantaged groups. In addition, within our project, it is planned to create a cultural game in order to help young people better understand and develop cultures in the digital world.

Each participating country will create mini-games that reflect their own cultures, aiming to eliminate cultural differences.

In our project, cultural nights, a historical tour of Afyonkarahisar, and various cultural activities are planned.
