Resilient Youth Society

We are the members of "Resilient Youth Community", an active youth group seeking nature-based solutions for issues such as climate change mitigation and disaster preparedness. Our group consists of university student young volunteers. In the project team of our group, there are 2 architect candidates, 4 engineer candidates and 2 candidate lawyers. After the last 3 earthquakes, with epicenter Kahramanmaraş city in Turkey, every segment of the society exposed to the earthquake became vulnerable to disasters. We, as youth workers, want to research what young people can do to question the safety of the buildings and built environment in which they live, to share what we find on the internet, and to exchange information. We believe that the problems related to the built environment have solutions in nature, we know the importance of observing, imitating or being inspired by nature. We aim to raise awareness of young people and to raise awareness of their families and surroundings with what they have learned. For this purpose, we actually aim to prepare a strategic partnership project. However, we thought of starting with a youth exchange project first.
