* Educational Courses
In educational courses, some of our young who are open high school student that are continuing to their education by supporting of volunteer university student at Basak.
* Vocational Courses
In Turkey, the children and the young people who have experienced the difficult effects of forced migration and suffering from the lack of social life can not find a good work. As many social excluded groups facing difficulties on a day – to day basis they seek for support. Vocational training facilitates the access of these people to the education system and the labour market. These are efforts that contribute to an increase of empowerment, self esteem and capacities of individuals and groups that have a sustainable impact on improving their own lives.
