“You-Dance” dissemination events organized in Türkiye

The “You-Dance” project in Türkiye is actively reaching out to young people through events organized by ECEM Ballet School. These efforts aim to introduce the project, engage local youth, and gather input for future dance workshops that promote social well-being. Several actions of dissemination have been carried out in the county of Zonguldak, involving youngsters and the potential target group which can take part in the future to A2 and A3 project’s actions. In particular, flyers and marketing material related to the project has been spread at local level to the youth population of the county.

In addition, ECEM BALLET SCHOOL hosted a dissemination event on the 23rd of July 2024, where 20 local students aged 16-20 attended. During this local event, the “You-Dance” project was introduced and explained in detail to the youngsters. As part of the initiative, the “Activity 2” survey was provided as a “CALL FOR PARTICIPANTS” for those interested in our future dance “face to face” workshops.

Derya Fındık, the manager of the “Ecem Bale ve Dans Okulu” (Ecem Ballet School), coordinated the event. 20 teenagers from neighbouring schools were informed about the project’s aims, activities, dance-based interventions, and our social media accounts. To promote social and relational well-being through dance experiences, ECEM emphasized the power of dance, answering all participants’ questions.

In the last weeks, ECEM Ballet continued its efforts to reach the local target group by entering the social spaces of young people aged 16-20, providing them with detailed information about the “You-Dance” project.

The students were encouraged to participate in the survey and follow our official social media channels. ECEM has received very positive feedback from the youngsters interviewed in the county of Zonguldak.

The dissemination of the “You-Dance” project will continue throughout August 2024 to reach as many young people as possible, aiming to collect completed surveys before launching the project’s “Activity 2” face-to-face activities.
