From April 24–26, 2025, Imece Network was proudly represented by our teammate Efe at the GoFor Members Meeting and the 2025 Youth Work Forum in Ankara.
With the theme “More Than 10 Years of Youth Work,” the forum brought together youth organizations and young changemakers to reflect on the past decade of youth engagement and explore collective approaches to current challenges.
What Was Discussed?
The forum focused on inclusive and participatory youth work, addressing issues such as access to education, labor rights, gender equality, and peacebuilding. Participants emphasized collaboration, solidarity, and long-term vision in creating meaningful change.
Dialogue With Decision-Makers
One of the most important aspects of the forum was the opportunity for direct dialogue between young people and political actors. This format created space for open questions, mutual understanding, and democratic engagement.
Efe’s Participation
As Imece Network’s representative, Efe contributed to discussions around inclusive youth spaces, shared our values of cooperation and empowerment, and built new bridges with fellow youth organizations from across the country.
At Imece Network, we believe in the power of youth-led initiatives. Participating in spaces like this forum strengthens our commitment to inclusive, participatory, and impactful youth work—locally and globally.
