BEŞIKTAŞ MUNICIPALITY ACCOMPLISHES ANOTHER EU PROJECT!

Continuing to carry out projects funded by the Directorate for EU Affairs of the Turkish Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Beşiktaş Municipality’s new European Voluntary Service (EVS) project titled “Beşiktaş’s Youth in Europe” also received grant from the Ministry. 

The European Voluntary Service, conducted as part of the Erasmus+ Program of the Center for European Union Education and Youth Programmes under the Turkish Ministry of Foreign Affairs, is one of the greatest opportunities that provide young people with the chance to take part in international activities and to gain experience abroad.  

As part of the “Beşiktaş’s Youth in Europe” Project, young people aged 18-30 from Beşiktaş will render voluntary services in Sicily, Italy for a period of 59 days and the expenses including visa, travel, accommodation, food, and also allowances will be covered from the grant received from the European Union. The call for the Project and the details will be announced on the web site of our Municipality in the upcoming days.       

Since the establishment of our Municipality’s Foreign Affairs Directorate in 2017, we have carried out 6 projects and the total amount of the grants received from the EU for these projects have exceeded 26,598 Euros. As part of these projects, the young people we sent from Beşiktaş to Europe have provided voluntary services for 614,400 hours in total.

Please watch the video below for the short interview with the young people having participated in our EVS projects so far, who say that; “Start considering EVS, because EVS considers you!”
