It is a pleasure that Keçiören Municipality in Ankara, Turkey hosted Balkan Youth Activism within the framework of cultural activity for young people with disabilities titled "Empower Voice." The initiative was coordinated by Turkish Disability Education and Solidarity Foundation.

The activity brought together young participants to promote inclusion, creativity, and intercultural dialogue through art and cultural expression. It marked an important step toward strengthening international cooperation and empowering young people with disabilities to make their voices heard in society.

The project is implemented by OZSV in cooperation with Balkan Youth Activism, Anna Lindh Foundation – ALF in Motion, System Generation, OZEV, and Keçiören Municipality.

We extend our sincere appreciation to the Mayor of Keçiören, Dr. Mesut Özarslan, for the warm welcome and continuous support for youth inclusion initiatives.

Balkan Youth Activism remains committed to fostering inclusive opportunities, cross-border cooperation, and meaningful youth engagement across the region.
