  5. The Foundation for the Development of Entrepreneurial Society was established in 2014 to promote employment, create new jobs and develop entrepreneurship. It was created by experienced people who have been operating in different, but overlapping fields - both in public administration, the private sector and non-governmental organizations. Wanting to act together, the united forces resulted in the creation of the FRSP. We have defined a lot of our statutory objectives, but all of them focus on the aforementioned activities for employment, creation of new jobs and development of entrepreneurship. We provide advice to everyone who is interested in the labor market in any way: students, unemployed people, working people and entrepreneurs, as well as non-governmental organizations. We suggest how to change jobs, get an internship, get funds to set up or develop a company or a non-governmental organization. Our mission is to support the development of entrepreneurial entrepreneurship, new working places creation and action to full employment.

  9. Turkey is a country that occupies a unique geographic position lying partly in Asia and partly in Europe. Throughout its history, it has acted as both a barrier and a bridge between the two continents. It offers a variety of travel destinations and scenery from the dome-and-minaret filled skyline of Istanbul, through the Roman ruins along the western and southern coasts to cold and snowy mountains of the East and wide steppe landscapes of Central Anatolia. Our volunteers receive 2 free days every week and an additional 2 free days every month. They can also choose to save their monthly free days and use them all at once either during or after their project.

Its marina offers beautiful harbor views and it is also famous for its nightlife, as you will find most of the pubs and clubs here, often offering live Turkish music. Antalya enjoys an idyllic climate for the majority of the year, barely reaching under 0 degrees even in the winter times.
