Work experience

Have met with International Youth Camps in 1992 and since then I was first involved as youth leader and then as youth worker in youth work. After graduating from university, I started working for GSM-Youth Services Center; leaving GSM in 2005, I have established Youth Development Association with a group of youth workers and in the same year I was a part of the team initiating YFU-Youth For Understanding intercultural exchange programs in Turkey. I was one of the founding members of YFU Turkey, established in 2008. Since then, I have been working as the National Director of YFU Turkey, working as a freelance trainer at the same time. Within this frame, I am a member of SALTO trainers network and I work as a trainer in Appetiser training pool on a regular basis, training youth workers from all over Europe. Since my involvement in the youth work field in 1992, I have conducted numerous projects, made research & written articles/books, was a board member & president of Youth Express Network, an international youth organization, delivered training for hundreds of young people and youth workers on a variety of topics.
