SACER

SACER (Sports, Art, Culture, Equality, Raise Your Hands) was established in 2002, in Istanbul Türkiye. We continue our activities in the provinces of Istanbul and Ankara. Our main goal is to create lasting changes in society. We stand as a solution to all kinds of problems that concern society. We were founded by teachers from various disciplines. SACER is the harmony of diversity. We raise our hands for Sport, Art, Culture, and Equality. We believe that music and sports unite us. We attach importance to cultural exchange. We know that languages are not a barrier between us. We argue that it is the emotions that matter. We pay special attention to supporting disadvantaged youth. We are working to enable young people who are disadvantaged in terms of social, geographical, rural, economic, and health to continue their lives actively. We are sensitive to mental health, personal development, migration, climate change, and equality. We always put sports and music at the center of our lives. We always include music and sports in our projects. We take care to create a youth network in our projects and to make it sustainable. Thanks to our projects, we have created an ESC and Erasmus plus network with 1000 young people from all over Türkiye. As a group, we voluntarily teach Syrian children. We organized the United Nations refugee camps. We volunteered to prepare the report on the province of Istanbul, which is included in the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. We are actively working on human rights violations. With the cultural history project, we transfer the cultural history of our local people to new generations. We attended a workshop on youth with Down syndrome and sports. Within the scope of the accessible tourism project, we provided training to the personnel working in the touristic facilities. We became disaster volunteers in the earthquake that affected our country and supported disadvantaged people. We will provide training to our local people with our disaster education project that we will start locally. We were invited to the European Youth Event with the participation of 8500 people from all over Europe. We are members of the newly formed Inclusive European community.
