Within the scope of the project, it is aimed to carry out a series of workshops for disadvantaged children who cannot access opportunities in big cities, as well as families living on agriculture and animal husbandry in the villages on the Munzur Mountain in Erzincan, and children from families who come to Erzincan as seasonal workers. Approximately 200 students from 9 villages in the vicinity receive education in Yalınca Village Primary School, where transported education is provided in the region. It is aimed to ensure the awareness of rights in the public sphere by including primary school teachers working in the region in these workshops.
It is aimed to enable children to express themselves better, to raise awareness of their rights provided by the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, and to help them in defending themselves against rights violations and abuse through such workshops such as Children's Rights Workshop, Children Safety Workshop, Rhythm and Play Workshop with Children, Photography Workshop with Children, and Creative Art and Sports Workshop with Children.
