In November 1998, in the 50th anniversary of Universal Declaration of Human Rights, Ankara European Youth Forum organized the conference "Universality of Human Rights" in order to discuss if we need a new conceptualization on Human Rights.
In July 2003 Ankara European Youth Forum organized in Fethiye Kayakoy the youth festival with the participation of thousands of young people from Greece and Turkey. The festival was organized within the framework of Turkish Greek Civic Dialogue Project.
Between 2-4 April 2004 the Final Conference of Turkish Greek Civic Dialogue Project was held in METU. This conference marked the end of the Turkish Greek Civic Dialogue Project.
