Forthcoming policy developments

In 2024, one of the most important initiatives in the field of youth was the work carried out towards creating a national youth policy. The policy document, which is being prepared with contributions from various institutions, organizations, and young people, is expected to offer a new perspective on the opportunities and services provided to young people and bring inclusivity and wholeness to youth work.

Within this scope, a background study was conducted on examples from around the world and the works carried out in Turkey related to the policy topics created by experts. These studies were compiled into a single report, and then work was carried out in line with the objectives of the policy document.

In December 2024, workshops were conducted with the participation of young people in all 81 provinces of Turkey. In 2025, regional workshops will also take place, and it is planned that the Youth Policy Document will be finalized by the middle of 2025.
