Are you interested in German-Turkish youth work and planning to take your youth partnership to the next level? Then join us in Bonn from 1 to 5 September 2025 and feel the spirit of German-Turkish youth work! This activity offers you the chance to learn about funding opportunities and explore ways to enhance the quality of your projects and partnership.
IMECE 2025 Bonn aims to boost the quality of existing partnerships while providing a platform for partnership-building and networking. It is designed for representatives of German-Turkish partnerships or project teams, who want to strengthen their collaboration and develop common project ideas.
The programme will provide you with first-hand information about funding opportunities and policies and will support you in developing high-quality youth projects, which will have an impact on the youth fields in Germany and Türkiye. You will have the opportunity to discuss and reflect your project ideas with colleagues and experts as well as with representatives of different funding organisations.
