History of the Project
The “International Book Fraternity” project, which will be carried out under the title of “KA220-YOU – Cooperation Partnerships in Youth” supported by the Turkish National Agency within the scope of Erasmus+ Program, has been prepared by Bursa Birlik Vakfı in partnership with Centro educativo di progettazione e hosting internazionale from Italy, ASSOCIACAO INTERCULTURAL PARA TODOS from Portugal and ASOCIACION AMIGOS DE EUROPA from Spain. Our project has been accepted as a result of the evaluations made by the Turkish National Agency within the scope of Erasmus+ 2023 Call 1st Cycle applications.
The aim of the project is to facilitate the provision of original works in foreign languages, to establish an international book donation network supported by digital tools and to contribute to the academic and intellectual development of young people. Our project is registered with the reference number TR01-KA220-YOU-B2C4C918.
Purpose of the Project
The main objective of our project is to facilitate access to original language works for students studying at foreign language and literature faculties of universities in Turkey and Europe and to support their academic and intellectual development. To this end, we aim to collect original works in different languages and make them available to students in need by utilizing international cooperation and digital tools.
Within the scope of the project, book donations will be organized at selected universities in four different countries (Turkey, Italy, Portugal and Spain) and the books collected through these donations will be offered to students free of charge. In addition, book fairs will be organized in each country to reach a wider audience of students and promote the habit of reading books.
