With our project we had aimed at increasing the awareness of young people in our local, province and university on 2012 the year of active aging by dealing with the related problems and coping with them in and effective way and solving together.

As an inter-generational dialogue of our project we brought both young and older people together.

As young people, in our project to be held in Erzurum City Centre and its counties we analysed our custom, traditions and culture from past until now with older people whom we regarded as witnesses of our past.

We provided our young people with the oppurtunities by which they can come together with the older people to talk. We implemented this kind of activity to different groups that would be divided into two groups as free time evaluation. With these groups we tried to record and save the conversations and the experiences of our older people who were the witnesses of the past. By doing so, we talked about our culture from past to now, shared the experiences in different aspects and made our cultural values, which were about to dissappear, current issues of today’s life.

By making a short movie and with our hand-outs we taught our young people what we had learned so far.

In the scope of Action 1.2 Youth Initiatives that were during 7 months, we applied our activities as planning meetings, trips, visits, entertainment activities, shooting and installation, promoting -dissemination, and evaluation.
