What's the situation?
The youth component of Turkey's Local Agenda 21 (LA21) Program manifests an outstanding performance in terms of mobilizing the youth and perforating to all partner cities and the full spectrum of activities in the LA21 processes. The youth platforms have established a nation wide network and started to come together in regional and national programs. They have been in close interaction with the youth of the world in various occasions.
