What This Membership Means for KOZ-DER

We bring our work with young people in Kilis, including mind games, coding, Speaking Club, environmental and disaster awareness activities, and our Erasmus+ and European Solidarity Corps experience, to the organisations in this network. Through our membership we aim to:

• share experience and build new partnerships with member organisations across Europe,
• widen our young people’s access to training and mobility opportunities,
• bring good practice to Kilis so that young people take a greater part in local decision-making,
• share our own work with the other members of the network.

We will keep working for a future where young people’s voices are heard locally and decisions are made together with them. 💙
