“Include Me!” is a Youth Exchange project involving 7 organisations 2 of which are from Turkey, and 1 each from Greece, Macedonia, Serbia, Hungary and Austria. During 8 days (travel days included) 38 participants aged between 18-30 and 8 leaders will carry out the project in our city, Sakarya. In the project, with the youngsters we will discuss the problems that Syrian refugees face in the countries on their fleeing route because of prejudices, discrimination, xenophobia, intolerance against differences (especially Islamophobia) and minorities. At this point we aim to;- include war victims in social life-feel empathy and build tolerance -raise awareness among youngsters about refugees’ lives by sharing experiences -integrate innocent civilians and especially children in our society-destroy xenophobia and prejudices against different religions and races -prevent discrimination of the refugees, contribute to inclusionWe decided to prepare this project as a result of the meetings we held with the young volunteers of our association when we determined the increase in hateful statements and inhumane behaviours.
