Avrupa Entegrasyon Derneği (European Integration Group, EIG in short) is a non-profit organization that works with Turkish and international youth groups in Turkey. The main goal of the organization is to succeed in the integration of young individuals, start-up companies, institutions, NGOs, and as well corporate companies to European values and digitalizing world.
EIG mainly focuses on the topics:
Digitalization
Equality+
Sustainability
Sport & Health,
Tackling Violence & Conflict Management
Peace – Mindfulness
Since its creation, EIG has been actively involved in both local and international (youth) projects. The organization has already successfully implemented a few KA105 mobilities of its own, and more than 90 as a partner. As a result of positive feedback from its partners in projects coordinated by EIG, EIG has developed a broad partnership network across Europe.
We follow our four core values in everything we do: 1) commitment – meaning we offer it our all; 2) transparency – we work with and for the public; 3) positivity – we see opportunities rather than problems; and 4) passion – we want to make the world a better place. It’s easy to write these principles down on paper, but it’s far more difficult to put them into practice.
EIG knows how important non-formal education is and hence incorporates experienced trainers in it. We assure that professionals with relevant experience and a proven record (in youth work and/or the project’s topic) will be working with us as before. We also count on a large pool of volunteers (data is collected according to the LPPD in Turkey) and potential partners to ensure that:
he project is implemented smoothly and strict work-tracking
the dissemination activities meet the targeted groups
successful and long-term cooperation
The projects EIG takes on, as a rule, focus on demanding and sensitive issues (e.g., inclusion of minorities and disadvantaged groups). Hence, we look forward to the challenges offered by the projects.
