Genç Zihin Derneği (Young Intelligence Association) https://gezider.org/

Young Intelligence Association is an NGO dedicated to social and personal development through lifelong learning. We empower citizens of all ages and backgrounds—including those from diverse ethnic groups and people with disabilities—by promoting democratic citizenship, volunteering, and healthy lifestyles.

Our mission focuses on:

• Social Cohesion: Using music, sports, theater, and coding to foster empathy and intercultural dialogue.

• Educational Support: Partnering with schools and universities to train teachers in ICT, multimedia design, and coding (Scratch/Arduino).

• International Mobility: As a sender and host organization, we have sent hundreds of participants across Europe to explore topics like EU citizenship, human rights, migration, and media literacy.

We believe in transforming society by equipping citizens with 21st-century skills and working collectively to turn our members' dreams into reality.
