How can you contribute to the Network in your country?

Conferences
These can provide a great opportunity to target specific people, expertise and skills. All too often, we do not make the most of these opportunities. We go to conferences with people we know, or we navigate toward people we know already, and stick with them rather than meeting new people. We would like to be agent of this fundation in our city and we would like to spread your working area in our society.
People love to be acknowledged. If you know of a paper, publication, or presentation that someone you are talking to has done be sure to mention that you know their work and compliment them on it.
For a start’, we are both involved in something with a common interest, making conversation slightly easier.

Social Media
There are several social media channels that can be used to expand your networks and meet new people. Here I will focus on three channels. Website, Facebook and Instagram

Why do you want to join the ALF Network?

We will gain new experiences and we will learn new cultures and spreading methods. We will transfer to our youngesters to our experiences when we learnt new things. Moreover our youth workers and youngsters will gain new partnerships, new networks, new friends and moreover we would like to contunie these cooperation in Turkey too. We would like to apply such projects with partner countries about cultural diversity and decision making process of young people.
