Detailed cultural, educational and social activities will be organized for 7 days to achieve the planned goals. Thanks to the workshops held within the scope of the project, the participants will enjoy the active duty of producing olives and olive products. Youth and youth workers will thus realize their production potential. The European youth, who share the common heritage, will also strengthen intercultural friendship thanks to our project. Feedback, criticism, the course of the project, the learning and satisfaction of the participants will be analyzed and evaluated by the team organizing the project on a daily basis through participant measurement surveys conducted throughout the project. In this way, the daily impact of the activities can be measured. The outputs of these measurements are important data for the realization of the goals expected from the project.
