ABOUT THE HOST ORGANIZATION
Genç Birikim Derneği (Young Accumulation Association) was founded in Muş in 2006 by a group of young people and cancer survivors to contribute to the personal and social development of young people.
Their association has four key goals:
– To foster tolerance, respect, and friendship among young people and to help them become informed individuals.
– To support young people’s talents through education.
– To help young people successfully participate and adapt to both professional and social life.
– To protect and raise awareness of young people against all kinds of health threats, especially cancer.
As an association, we collaborate and develop projects with families, local governments, relevant ministries, primary schools, high schools, and universities to achieve our goals. To date, we have implemented numerous local, national, and international projects and events with our stakeholders.
