The project, conducted in partnership with QNB Finansbank, aims to foster self-confidence, enhance communication skills, develop the ability to express oneself, and cultivate abilities in written expression, imagination, reading, and creativity among primary school children through the method of storytelling facilitated by youth.
This initiative not only endeavors to make a meaningful impact in the lives of children through the involvement of youth but also aims to create lasting effects with physical and permanent arrangements. The methodology employed is storytelling, which has recently gained recognition and proven benefits as an educational approach worldwide.
Youth participants in the storytelling program will engage in a 6-week endeavor in selected schools based on their analysis of needs. They will assist children in writing their own fairy tales, thereby contributing to the children's developmental journey.

In collaboration with Elidor, we have launched the "On Our Own Path" project, aimed at empowering university student young women. Inspired by Elidor's nationwide research, which revealed that '6 out of 10 young women believe there are obstacles in the way of their dreams,' we are offering support to 200 university students through scholarships, a free personal development program prepared by the International Center for Research on Women (ICRW), and discounted access to Udemy educational content.
Seven personal development courses have been uploaded to a project-specific website, making them accessible to everyone. Through this site, young women can find inspiration from the narratives of Zeynep Bastık, Ebrar Karakurt, and Aleyna Hadımoğlu.
