By implementing this project, we aimed to increase the knowledge and skills of youth workers on post-disaster crisis management. The difficulties encountered by young volunteers in the field, especially during and after the February 6, 2023 Kahramanmaraş Earthquake, showed us that post-disaster volunteer work should be carried out consciously and effectively. At this point, learning disaster management approaches in different countries, discovering good practices and disseminating this information in Turkey were among our main goals within the scope of the Erasmus+ program. The main goal of our project was to raise awareness of young people who could work in the field and to introduce them to the training they needed to receive at an initial level. If we list our goals; 1. Disseminating the Culture of Conscious Volunteering After Disasters We observed that young people who will volunteer in disasters should be trained on issues such as crisis management, psychosocial support, and movement patterns in the disaster area. Volunteers who act unconsciously in the field can both endanger themselves and unintentionally harm disaster victims. With this project, we aimed to create a training model that will ensure that post-disaster volunteer work is carried out consciously and effectively. 2. Exploring Practices in Disaster Management with International Cooperation Post-disaster crisis management is not a process specific to a single country. By examining the strategies implemented by our partners from different countries such as Macedonia, Romania and Greece in terms of disaster management, we aimed to determine the models that are suitable for the countries. At the same time, we provided an international information exchange environment by sharing Turkey's post-disaster practices with other countries. 3. Increasing the Capacity of Participating Youth Workers Another important goal was to develop the competencies of the youth workers participating in the project in terms of post-disaster crisis management and to ensure that they disseminate this information in their own organizations. In this context, the participants were given training by expert institutions in the field of search and rescue such as AFAD and ANDA. At the end of the training, the participants became competent in organizing post-disaster volunteer work, conducting safe field work and using crisis management skills. 4. Making Post-Disaster Basic Needs Management More Efficient Different individuals have different needs after a disaster. Aid plans, especially for individuals with chronic diseases (e.g. diabetics, SMA patients, children with leukemia), play a critical role in the disaster area. Within the scope of the project, Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs was revised and a new model was developed to ensure that aid sent to the region after the disaster reaches the region more efficiently and in a more prioritized manner. 5. Developing a Sustainability Model for Post-Disaster Volunteer Work We planned the project not only as a training process but also as a sustainable model. The trained participants will disseminate the information they have acquired in their own countries, thus increasing the number of conscious volunteers in the long term. The youth workers in the project aim to increase the trainings and make this process permanent by collaborating with local NGOs, public institutions and volunteer groups after returning to their countries. 6. Strengthening Post-Disaster Psychosocial Support Capacity Physical aid alone is not enough for individuals affected by disasters. At the same time, providing psychosocial support is also of great importance. Thanks to the experts and educators involved in the project, correct approaches and crisis communication strategies were developed for individuals experiencing post-disaster trauma. Thus, volunteers not only provided physical support in the disaster area, but also acquired skills that could be useful psychologically. 7. Supporting Green and Sustainable Disaster Management Approaches Disasters are not events that only require immediate interventions. If not managed correctly, large amounts of waste, environmental pollution and resource waste can occur in the post-disaster process. In this context, an environmentally friendly disaster management approach was adopted in our project and volunteers were provided with the necessary knowledge and skills to minimize the environmental impacts that may occur after the disaster. 8. Providing Disaster Awareness We aimed to learn what we should do as young people to prevent disasters or minimize the damage, as well as how to behave as a disaster victim during a disaster through various trainings and simulations. In Conclusion With this project, we aimed not only to educate a certain group of young people, but also to create a long-term awareness and capacity building process.
