SILENT FRIENDSHIP

We are currently looking for a new partner organisation to join our Erasmus+ KA152 Youth Exchange project titled “Silent Friendship”.

The project aims to foster inclusion, intercultural understanding, and effective communication between deaf and hearing young people through workshops, cultural activities, and collaborative experiences.

Our main objective is to address the challenges and social exclusion faced by deaf youth by bringing them together with hearing youth. The project seeks to raise awareness of Deaf culture, promote sign language learning, support social inclusion, and encourage the active participation of young people in social and cultural life.At the same time, it aims to develop empathy, cooperation, and awareness among hearing participants.

MAIN ACTIVITY:
The main activity will take place in Adana, Türkiye, and will create an inclusive learning and experiential environment where deaf and hearing youth can interact, collaborate, and learn from each other.

PARTICIPANT PROFILE (PER PARTNER):
Each partner organisation is expected to send:
4 deaf young participants
4 hearing young participants
1 group leader
2 sign language interpreters

ACTIVITY CONTENT:
The activity will include:
Ice-breaking and intercultural communication activities
Basic sign language workshops (accelerated sessions)
Teamwork and communication-based activities
Empathy and experience-based workshops
Cultural exchange activities (music, art, drama)
Evaluation sessions and future planning

IMPORTANT NOTE:
