Our areas and activities:

1) Inclusion and diversity:

IDDA develops and implements initiatives that promote social inclusion and celebrate diversity. These include workshops, cultural exchange programs, and community engagement activities aimed at breaking down barriers and fostering mutual understanding. Tools such as intercultural dialogue sessions, diversity training modules, and inclusive educational materials ensure that all voices are heard and valued.

2) Digitalization:

IDDA focuses on advancing digital skills and technologies to keep pace with the evolving digital landscape. We conduct training sessions on digital tools, coding, and advanced technologies like AI and AR. We use virtual collaboration tools and applications to facilitate non-formal learning and engagement.

3) Participation in civic engagement:

IDDA fosters civic engagement and democratic participation through projects encouraging active citizenship. Civic education workshops, youth forums, and local campaigns promote democratic values and community involvement. We use digital platforms for civic engagement to amplify the voices of young people and community members.

4) Non-formal education and youth work:

IDDA is committed to non-formal education and informal learning activities that engage disadvantaged young people in social and cultural life. Our programs encourage youth leadership, skills development, and social participation, integrating socially disadvantaged youth into their communities. Through research, analysis, and successful measures, we support groups in brainstorming and harmonizing efforts to promote social and cultural development.

Founded by dedicated education volunteers, IDDA boasts a dynamic team of researchers, youth workers, trainers, and academicians. We have a robust managerial and technical team comprising 3 project managers, 2 technicians, 5 youth workers, and 9 trainers, including facilitators in social work and integration. IDDA has more than 50 volunteers, mostly university students and school teachers. Our close relationships at local and international levels enable us to swiftly engage with thousands of youth from diverse countries, promoting intercultural understanding and making valuable contributions to the community.
