Young Intelligence Association · Independent and non-partisan
There is a young mind in every province of Türkiye. We go and meet them.
GEZİDER is an independent youth association where young people set up and run their own teams. Since 2016 we have connected young people from Iğdır, in the far east of Türkiye, to the rest of the country and to Europe.

Who we are
Young people set up their own teams and run their own projects.
Young Intelligence Association (GEZİDER) is an independent youth NGO based in Iğdır and active across Türkiye. The first aim in our statute says it all: to build youth teams and let young people run them themselves.
We work in the social, cultural, artistic, educational and health fields, and build a chain in which every young person who gains experience supports the next one. We are independent of any political party, fan group or movement; our statute guarantees it.
