Kuzören explained the value of the projects in her own words:
“"National and international projects play a key role in the transformation of not only institutions but also all segments of society. Each of these projects is one of the most valuable investments in the future."”
Serap Kırdar Kuzören states that Türkiye's active participation in European Union education and youth programs directly supports individual and institutional development:
“Programs like Erasmus+ and ESC provide our young people with international experience, strengthen the professional competencies of educators, and make our institutions more visible on a global scale.”
Kuzören emphasizes that the impact of projects is not limited to the activity process alone and expresses the importance of sustainability as follows:
“"A project gains meaning not only in the days it is implemented, but also in the long-term impact it reflects on society. Real success is the change that emerges after the project is completed."”
Kuzören emphasized that cultural diversity, inclusiveness and innovative educational practices should be at the center of all project work.,
“"I have always prioritized intercultural dialogue, social inclusion, and innovative learning environments in our projects. Because these elements are the most powerful components that accelerate social development," he said.
Finally, Serap Kırdar Kuzören emphasized the importance of national and international collaborations,
“"The path to creating impact from the local to the global is through strong partnerships. That's why we've always prioritized collaborating with public institutions, NGOs, and international organizations," he said.
According to Serap KIRDAR KUZÖREN's vision, the YEAR-GE Association continues to take decisive steps to create permanent transformation in education and society with sustainable, inclusive and innovative projects.
