International Exchange in Estonia, "Reaching Equilibrium"

Members of TOG Bilkent (Bilkent Toplum Gönüllüleri), one of the subgroups of Bilkent's volunteer organization TDP (Toplumsal Duyarlılık Projesi), are back in Turkey after a very snowy and enjoyable exchange in Estonia. As the volunteers of Umudun Yurttaşları Projesi (The Citizens of Hope Project), which is interested in refugees, they were chosen as the participants of the Project "Reaching Equilibrium" sponsored by Youth for Exchange and Understanding (YEU). Seven countries were represented in the project, and TOG was selected to send participants from Turkey. After the first meeting of the group leaders in September, the group started the preparations for the exchange visit in Viimsi, Tallinn, Estonia between Dec. 27 and Jan. 3.

Throughout the project, each country's representatives tried to explain the situation of immigrants in their own countries and the policies followed by their governments. The point of the project was to propose solutions for the issue of immigration in Viimsi.
