Through the implementation of the project, our organisation pursued the overarching objective of strengthening social resilience in Germany and Türkiye by systematically and practically enhancing young people’s awareness of disasters. We aimed to ensure that young people were not merely regarded as beneficiaries of protection measures, but rather acted as active co-creators in prevention, preparedness, and recovery processes. The central focus was on purposefully developing their competences in risk assessment, crisis response, participatory decision-making, and community-oriented problem-solving. A key concern was to provide young people with well-founded knowledge on disaster management, risk reduction, and prevention mechanisms. Through structured training modules, simulation-based learning formats, and moderated case analyses, we sought to ensure that participants developed both theoretical foundations and practical response strategies. In doing so, we aimed to deepen their understanding of climate change-related risks, local hazard contexts, and institutional responsibilities in civil protection, while strengthening their capacity to act responsibly in emergency situations. Furthermore, we sought to create concrete participation structures that enabled young people to actively contribute to decision-making processes. Our organisation intended to initiate local and bilateral dialogue formats between young people, civil society actors, and political decision-makers. The objective was to systematically integrate young people’s perspectives into disaster management strategies and to feed their proposals into political discussion processes, thereby reinforcing their democratic participation and consolidating their role as responsible societal actors. Another focal point was the intercultural exchange of knowledge and experience between young people from Germany and Türkiye. We aimed to ensure that different national experiences in dealing with natural disasters, structural differences in civil protection systems, and culturally shaped coping strategies were reflected upon and compared. Through this transnational learning process, innovative, including technology-based, solution approaches were expected to emerge that could be transferred to both contexts and contribute in the long term to strengthening bilateral solidarity. In addition, we pursued the objective of establishing advocacy structures through which the voices of young people could be sustainably integrated into political processes. Our organisation aimed to ensure that the recommendations developed within the project were forwarded to relevant decision-makers in the form of position papers, policy proposals, or structured dialogue events. This approach was intended not only to generate short-term attention, but also to achieve a stronger institutional anchoring of youth participation in disaster management over the long term. Particular attention was also paid to the inclusion of disadvantaged young people. We aimed to ensure that especially those facing socio-economic, geographical, or educational barriers had access to international learning formats and participation structures. Through targeted support measures, their active participation was to be enabled and their sense of self-efficacy strengthened, allowing them to engage sustainably in civil society and European programmes, particularly within the framework of Erasmus+.
