Next Generation: Voices of young people in Turkey 

The British Council in Turkey collaborated with Yaşama Dair Vakıf (YADA) and Gelecek Daha Net (GDN) youth platform to deliver the research.  

The nation-wide data gathering programme took place from winter 2016 until late summer 2017, and saw the participation of more than 2,500 young people from across Turkey. 

Professor Ferhat Kentel from Istanbul Şehir University and Assoc. Professor Gülden Demet Lüküslü from Yeditepe University are the academic advisers to the study.

Main themes of the research

  1. Daily Lives and Connections – How do young people spend their time, with who and how do they connect to their families, networks and other communities?
  2. Investing in The Future – What are young people’s hopes and aspirations and the challenges and obstacles in achieving them?
  3. Identities, Politics and Participation – How do young people identify with themselves, their fellow citizens and their engagement with those that influence and make decisions that affect their daily lives
