We must not forget that entrepreneurship plays a critical role in the future of young people and the country. The main goal of our project is to better explain the dynamics of the business world to our young people and provide them with the opportunity to develop their skills in entrepreneurship. We aim to encourage our young people to think creatively and increase their leadership capacities. As Hasan Kalyoncu University, we are pleased to provide our young people with the opportunity to share international experiences. This project aims to bring young entrepreneurs together with the business world more strongly. I believe this project will create opportunities for young entrepreneurs.”

Erasmus Institution Coordinator and Instructor at the School of Foreign Languages, Simge Yılmaz, emphasized that they will continue to support young people’s career journeys with such international projects, stating, “Our young people can reflect the unique experiences brought by this project into their entrepreneurial stories.
