For the past three years, CDR Youth has prioritized listening to young people’s voices and strengthening youth participation as a project that creates space for young people to identify social issues and develop solutions.

In line with these goals, CDR Youth has successfully completed its third cycle of activities. Since 2023, more than 200 young people between the ages of 18 and 25 have taken part in events held across 11 cities.

At the end of the three-year workshop process, a total of 26 projects were produced in a wide range of formats, from short films and poster designs to podcasts and articles.

As part of the 2025 cycle, workshops were held in Ankara, Bursa, Eskişehir, Kocaeli, and Tekirdağ. A total of 93 young people participated in these workshops, and following the workshop process, 13 projects were developed under CDR’s mentorship.
