Gençlik Prorgramı / Gençlik Projeleri Değerlendirme Anketleri
Merhabalar,
Daha önce Youth A.R.T.'ı temsilen ya da başka bir sivil toplum örgütü vasıtasıyla Avrupa Birliği Gençlik Programları kapsamında özellikle uluslararası projelere katılan tüm arkadaşlarımızdan rica ediyoruz, lütfen Türk Ulusal Ajansımızın hazırladığı aşağıdaki anketleri doldurup yetkililere değerli geri bildirimlerinizi aktarmak için 5 dakikanızı ayırın.
Anket ile ilgili bilgiler ve bağlantılar aşağıda. Tıklamanız yeterli. Internet tabanlı bir anket zaten.
Gençlik Eylemde Programı’nın daha kaliteli bir işleyişe kavuşması ve projelerin iyileştirilmesi açısından bu anketler çok önemli.
Gerekli duyarlılığı göstereceğinizi umuyoruz.
Sevgiler
Fethiye ERBİL

Ulusal Ajansımızın ilgili mesajı da aşağıdaki gibidir:
Sayın Gençlik Programı Yararlanıcısı
Avrupa Komisyonu tarafından yürütülen ve 2007-2013 yıllarını kapsayan Gençlik Programı, ülkemizde, T.C. Başbakanlık Devlet Planlama Teşkilatı-Avrupa Birliği Eğitim ve Gençlik Programları Merkezi Başkanlığı (Ulusal Ajans) tarafından koordine edilmektedir.
Gençlik Programı'nın 2007-2009 yıllarını kapsayan ilk üç yıllık uygulamaları, Ulusal Ajans’ın dışında bağımsız bir değerlendirme yapılabilmesi amacıyla TÜBİTAK tarafından ilgi, etkinlik, verimlilik ve sürdürülebilirlik açısından değerlendirilmektedir. Böylece programın güçlü ve zayıf yanları, çıkarılan dersler, iyi uygulamalar ve ulusal sonuçların analizi gerçekleştirilecek ve akabinde Avrupa Komisyonu'na sunulmak üzere raporlanacaktı r. Bu kapsamda, elde edilen sonuçlar, Gençlik Programının uygulamasına yönelik iyileştirme fırsatlarının tespit edilmesi açısından önem arz edecektir.
Daha önce size göndermiş olduğumuz ilk davetimizle birlikte anketimize katılamamışsanız, lütfen bu çağrımızı dikkate alınız.
Sizin de yararlanıcısı olduğunuz bu programa yönelik olarak hazırlanmış olan aşağıdaki ankette yer alan tüm sorulara içtenlikle cevap vermeniz, çalışmanın değerlendirmesine önemli bir katkı sağlayacaktır.
Gençlik Programı faaliyetlerine katılmış diğer arkadaşlarınıza ve proje ekibinize de bu davetimizi lütfen iletiniz. Zira, bazı eylemler için ( Örn 5.1) elimizde sadece proje koordinatörlerinin mail adresleri bulunduğundan tüm proje ekibine ulaşmak mümkün olamamaktadır. Ankete katılım oranının yüksek olması, daha anlamlı analizler ve sonuçlar elde edilmesine yardımcı olacaktır.
Bu nedenle göstereceğiniz hassasiyete şimdiden çok teşekkür ederiz.
Anketlerimizin linkleri aşağıda verilmiştir. 2007-2009 yılları arasında katıldığınız faaliyetlere göre aşağıdaki anketlere katılmanızı rica ederiz.
Örneğin, hem proje hem TCP faaliyetiniz olmuşsa her iki ankete de katılabilirsiniz.

We are 2 years old! Happy Birthday!
We are celebrating our 2nd anniversary as of 20th April, 2010. We're happy and proud!
Having taken the very first steps eager to facilitate social youth activities, a group of friends had come together on the lawn of Boğaziçi University on 28th April, 2008. We managed to take serious steps, got larger and stronger as valuable friends have joined among us... We have realized dozens of international activities, which have involved more than hundreds of youngsters.
We have learned much during that two years' time. We would like to thank all Youth A.R.T.'ists and partners who have been together with us!
We deeply believe that we will welcome further anniversaries together through working in collaboration, learning, sharing and enjoying each action.
Happy birthday, once more!

Our members came together in Istanbul.
The sole aim was not to work, of course! The meeting was unfortunately realized under rather bad weather conditions pushing the participants to sit in by gathering 6 tables as the total number of participants was 26!
We would like thank our Core Committee leaders who eagerly did their best to organize that meeting, and every single participant once again for the lovely atmosphere and valuable ideas expressed there.

“Game-on!”: Training Course in Slovakia
In collaboration with Slovakian National Agency and Turkish National Agency (TRN), a training course entitled "Game on-Game Building Activity for International Youth Exchanges" was realized between 7th – 12th April, in Villa Siesta, Smokovec, Slovakia.
4 participants from Turkiye participated in this great event! We are proud of the fact that 2 of these participants are from Youth A.R.T.!
They were Learning Couples throughout the training course. We congratulate Mr. Fatih NAR and Ms. Yasemin TURAN for their great efforts before, during and after the project. We believe that their experiences will add much on our organizational skills.
Interestingly enough, Mr. Bahadır ÜLGEN, our core committee leader, was among the trainers team in this event. This was his first international training experience within Salto! We believe his first experience has been even more meaningful as two Youth A.R.T. members represented Türkiye in the event.
Thanks a bunch for all who are involved in this great event!
