KOZ-DER Was Represented at Bridges for Futures-2 in Bremen, Germany

As the Youth Intelligence Games and Coding Association (KOZ-DER), we continue to strengthen our international youth work and our cooperation at European level.

Our Vice President Halil ÖZKARACA represented the association at the Bridges for Futures-2 project, hosted by NaturKultur e.V. in Bremen, Germany between 2 and 8 August 2026.

New Partnerships and International Cooperation

Throughout the project, meetings were held with youth workers, civil society representatives and organisation representatives from a range of countries, covering good practice in the youth field, international project experience and possible joint work in the future.

Contacts were established with new organisations on behalf of KOZ-DER, and new partnership opportunities were explored within the framework of Erasmus+ and the European Solidarity Corps (ESC).

A Network Growing from the Local to Europe

As a Kilis-based youth association, KOZ-DER continues to work towards increasing young people’s access to international opportunities, strengthening their engagement with other cultures and building sustainable partnerships with youth organisations across Europe.

Bridges for Futures-2 was an important opportunity for KOZ-DER to raise its visibility in Europe, meet new partners and widen its partnership network in the youth field.

New Opportunities for Young People

Thanks to these new connections, we aim to give young people access to more international opportunities in the period ahead through Erasmus+, ESC, training courses, youth exchanges and volunteering projects.

KOZ-DER will keep developing new projects that contribute to young people’s growth, support intercultural learning and strengthen international solidarity.

Thank You

We would like to thank the NaturKultur e.V. team for hosting Bridges for Futures-2, all the organisations we worked with during the project, and our Vice President Halil ÖZKARACA for representing the association.

KOZ-DER will continue to strengthen its youth work from the local to the European level and to create new opportunities for young people.
