Technology develops quickly so youths use social media equipments. As a result of this type of communication among the youths changed. By making do only with social media equipment, youths prefer social media sociability to real sociability. Especially in Aybastı where have limited social activity and people that have lots of disabilities; youths became almost a slaver of technology. This situation effects the communications of youths in real life negatively. By the way the district of Aybastı wrote the project that is called “Youth workshop is the best, forget the rest!”, with cooperation of Georgia, Azerbaijan, Greece and Armenia by the coordination of host of district of Aybastı project contains 8 days mobility (24.10.2015-31.10.2015) .

Youths will be chosen from who are successful in social media sociability rather than real sociability. In this choice process priority is provided for youths who is unemployed, who have some disabilities and have limited opportunity. These collective countries take parts in the same project because their range of using social media are very similar according to the data of last quarter of the year 2013 Global Digital States Reports (average 2,5 hours a day). General aim of this project provide youths from different cultures an environment where they can do activities by means of democracy and human rights, they can develop the side of sociability, pair and group work, respect, entrepreneurial spirit, toleration, cooperation. Add to this youths will assimilate the active European Citizenship, gain consciousness of multicultur, develop the foreign language skills, develop self of confidence and raise effective communication.
