Also, two out of six participants will be financially limited. Thus, inopportunity young will see what they can manage when have opportunities. We will do our activities between 12 and 17 July 2016 in Yozgat.

Thus, participants will be learning through immigrants’ problems. We will teach a Turkish lesson and we will test whether they understand or not, or how they could understand. Thanks to this activity, participant will understand how immigrants feel at lessons. In activity called “Why a person abandon his/her country? “ we will find out that question’s answer all together. Thus, participants will understand why immigrants abandon their country or why they have to do it. In “Voiced Library” activity, we will visit refugee guesthouse and so they will examine their life story from their own mouth. Thus, they will experience different experiences and they will improve their tolerance sense by taking lesson from refugees’ life story. In another activity, we aim to point out people’ problems who live with immigrants. In one of our activities, creative drama and role playing techniques will be used and participants will deduce by acting out different countries applications. Participant will make a short film about “Migration and Prejudice” as a group. They will deduce about migration and prejudice concepts as well as improve both their communication and interaction skills. We will give our participants a paper and want to do the missions written on paper, and we will test their attention. Thus they will observe how they are careful. Moreover, thanks to meeting and icebreaker games they will improve their communication skills and know different people.
