Genç Birikim Derneği (Young Accumulation Association

Young Accumulation Association was established in 2006 in Muş by a group of young people in order to contribute to the social and personal development of young people.

The four main objectives of our association are;

1- To enhance respect, friendship and tolerance among young people and to help them to become conscious individuals
2- To support the talents of young people by trainings
3- To help young people to participate and to harmonize not only in the business life but also in civil life successfully
4- To protect and to raise awareness among young people about any kind of health threat, especially about cancer.

In order to realize our objectives, we cooperate with families, local authorities, related ministries, primary schools, high schools and universities and we develop projects with them.

Until today, we organize many local, national and international projects and activities together with our stakeholders.

We realized many international projects in Mus under the Youth Program of Center of European Union Education and Youth Programs (National Agency) and enabled the participation of young people of Mus to these projects as well as to the other projects abroad that we are partner of.

We organize International “Blooming Plant” Oncology Days, one of the most important international activities of ours for protecting children and young people against cancer since 2007. Each year, International “Blooming Plant” Oncology Days is being organized with a different theme; among the participants there are representative of public institutions, non governmental organizations, youth centers international institutions as well as scientists. The event has the characteristic of a platform where the best practices and experiences about combating cancer are being shared.
