The "TOG-blog" - The new window of community volunteers
long time, had the Community Volunteers Foundation (TOG), her gaze directed only to those who needed it most: the young people in Turkey. Youth centers, recreational activities, youth organizations, or even a separate youth policy - what young people in Germany has long been perfect, of course, was here after the military coup in 1982 not for political reasons initially possible. But step by step began in Turkey, too young and the elderly again to organize and establish anew what we like to call "civil society" (1). The Community Volunteers Foundation is a part of this movement.
have now launched the Community Volunteers, many projects in life, actions carried out and created an impressive network of youth clubs in Turkey - and grow slowly beyond that. There is a lot of movement and contacts, it is now between community volunteers and young people of other European and neighboring countries. As interest in the concept of continuous community volunteers beyond the borders of Turkey is increasing, we want to give this blog and the German young people an insight into our work: What Projects, the Community Volunteers start in Turkey? What activities are? And for those who want to engage yourself: What are the options to participate? Is it possible to establish the Community Volunteers in Germany? Or are they as partners for youth projects?
As the Community Volunteers Foundation will also develop this blog ever - with the motivation to be an informative window on the youth of Turkey.
