Yap Zonguldak Association
European Union Office & Table Tennis Complex
Yap Zonguldak Association is a registered European Union Office and Table Tennis Complex and Eurodesk Multiplier with 3 full time youth worker staff and many part time Turkish members and volunteers. It's biggest NGO in our region.
We are based in Rainy Town (Zonguldak) and we specialise in increasing cultural awareness and understanding. Since 2009, We have been breaking down barriers to mutual understanding by bringing together people from different cultures.
Apart from our involvement with EVS we have a range of programmes which involve people of all ages from a variety of different communities and backgrounds. We have a track record of working with young people, both nationally and internationally especially those with fewer opportunities. We are currently expanding this area of work and in particular programmes which improve community cohesion and integration. Yap Zonguldak Association is located in our Rainy Town (Zonguldak). The province along the western Black Sea coast region of Turkey. Population is around 558,645. The city was established around 550 BC by Doric clans under the name of Mariandyn. Around 560 B.C. Megara and Boiotia people established a strong Greek colony there changing its name as Herakleia Pontika. The origin of the city's Archaic name is based on Heracles, the legendary hero of Greek mythology. Rainy Town is a green, small town on a hill which has 5-6 days rain per a week. But most time of a day is sunny.
We are not only working in the table tennis field. We develop and promote Youth in Action projects at the same time. We are sending and hosting organization for EVS and other exchange projects. Our target group is people who are interested to work as leader for young people. And partnership working with like-minded organizations. Since 2010, We are Eurodesk member.
