TREXEVS

Trex-Evs association was created in 2007 with the aim of providing common space for Turkish Ex-EVS volunteers. The association is based in İzmir city of Turkey, which is the 3rd biggest metropolitan in Turkey. We mainly focus on activities designed for youth mobility, inclusion of disadvantaged, democracy and youth mobility. As we are the most active on voluntary activities and mainly EVS since the very beginning of YIA programme, we continue to coordinate projects through Erasmus+ and European Solidarity Corps. Our basic mission is to be an information supplier between ex and future European volunteers and to help passing on the gained experiences, observations to the following volunteers by organizing various meetings and projects. Additionally, we want to promote the idea of taking initiative to young people and be active citizens in society. TREX EVS is playing a key role to disseminate the EU Youth Strategy within young people and local organizations in terms of building a more inclusive society and coping with different societal challenges and crises. TREX EVS cooperate with institutions, universities and non-governmental organizations specifically on current issues, such as access to digital kits that will local official be easily enabled for refugees to benefit from youth opportunities. As TREX-EVS board members and volunteers we consider the below written values in each work we do and in our projects as a point of perspective; • Volunteering • Social responsibility • Ethical understanding • Sharing • Inclusion of young people to any kind of decision-making process and to social life. • Cultural diversity • Participation • Entrepreneurship
