I’d recommend DAAD scholarships if you want to study in Germany. If you live in the EU, Erasmus+ Youth Exchanges and the European Solidarity Corps (ESC) are also great ways to get international experience for free. Many people only know Erasmus for study grants, but there are also short-term projects. I joined projects in Germany about social justice and youth participation, and I’ve also seen digital literacy and tech projects in Turkey and other countries. What other opportunities would you recommend? ________________________________________________ Eine Gelegenheit, von der andere wissen sollten ... Ich würde DAAD-Stipendien empfehlen, wenn du in Deutschland studieren möchtest. Wenn du in der EU lebst, sind Erasmus+ Jugendbegegnungen und ESC auch eine gute Möglichkeit, kostenlos internationale Erfahrungen zu sammeln. Viele kennen Erasmus nur wegen der Studienförderung, aber es gibt auch kurze Projekte. Ich habe an Projekten in Deutschland zu sozialer Gerechtigkeit und Jugendbeteiligung teilgenommen und auch Projekte zu digitaler Bildung und Technologie in der Türkei und anderen Ländern gesehen. Welche anderen Möglichkeiten würdet ihr empfehlen? ____________________________________________________ Başkalarının da bilmesi gereken bir fırsat ... Almanya’da okumak isteyenlere DAAD burslarını tavsiye ederim. AB’de yaşıyorsanız, Erasmus+ Gençlik Değişimleri ve ESC de ücretsiz uluslararası deneyim kazanmak için güzel fırsatlar. Birçok kişi Erasmus’u sadece eğitim hibeleriyle biliyor, ama kısa süreli projeler de var. Ben Almanya’da sosyal adalet ve gençlerin katılımı üzerine projelere katıldım. Türkiye’de ve başka ülkelerde dijital okuryazarlık ve teknolojiyle ilgili projeler de gördüm. Siz başka hangi fırsatları önerirsiniz?

I’ve put together a short guide with practical tips on how to apply for a DAAD scholarship with opportunities in tech and IT fields. I’m sharing this from my own experience: I received the DAAD Helmut-Schmidt-Programme scholarship for 2021–2023 in Peace and Conflict Studies after applying in 2020. At the time, I was a fresh graduate applying for postgraduate studies. My biggest takeaway: extracurricular activities and a strong motivation letter matter! I hope this guide helps you get started! If you’re planning to apply, feel free to reach out and share your questions or experiences😊

Dear young people interested in artificial intelligence, technology, and the future, Today, what you mainly see here is the Mevhibe Ateş Technology Foundation and L4Y Learning For Youth GmbH. But the structure we have in mind is actually much bigger than this. We would like to tell you a little about the system we want to build in the future. What are we planning for the coming period? Our first step is to create a UK-based European structure. We expect this company to become operational very soon. Over time, we want to bring our companies in Europe together under this structure. L4Y Learning For Youth GmbH in Germany will also become part of it. Our existing company in Dubai, AI Agent Node, is planned to become the owner of the UK structure. In this way, the upper-level ownership of our European companies would be based in Dubai. Our next and more long-term goal is to connect AI Agent Node in Dubai to a Family Wealth Protection Foundation that we are considering establishing within the Abu Dhabi Global Market – ADGM. These kinds of structures are relatively rare and can give founders significant flexibility in defining long-term rules, governance, succession, and beneficiary arrangements. Examples can be found in jurisdictions such as Liechtenstein, Jersey, DIFC in the UAE, and ADGM in the UAE. They operate within their own legal and judicial frameworks. One of the most interesting possibilities is that, under rules determined by the founder and subject to the applicable legal structure, benefits may be provided to designated beneficiaries based on defined conditions and achievements. These may potentially include support for areas such as education, healthcare, and certain family-related expenses. In short, we want to create an interconnected structure operating in the UK, Germany, Ireland, Dubai, and potentially other countries in the future. But the most important question is What does all of this have to do with you? For us, this is actually the most important part.

Hey everyone! The winter semester is officially kicking off in Germany! For all the students here: how’s getting back into the routine going? For those studying in Turkey or elsewhere: does your semester start around the same time, or is the schedule different over there? Drop a comment with what you’re studying this term or any cool AI/tech courses you’re taking!

Today, Germany’s capital is Berlin, but before reunification in 1990, the government was based in Bonn. October 3 is German Reunification Day. I thought this was an interesting fact to share. Honestly, I’m not really sure what people usually do on this day 😄 Since it’s a public holiday, many people simply spend the day with family or friends. There are also public events, ceremonies, exhibitions and talks about East and West Germany and reunification. If you’re German, feel free to share in the comments how you usually spend this day! ___________________________________________________________________________________ Bonn’un bir zamanlar Batı Almanya’nın başkenti olduğunu biliyor muydunuz? Bugün Almanya’nın başkenti Berlin. Ancak 1990’daki yeniden birleşmeden önce hükümet Bonn’daydı. 3 Ekim, Almanya’nın Yeniden Birleşme Günü. Bu ilginç bilgiyi paylaşmak istedim. Açıkçası bu günde insanların normalde ne yaptığını ben de pek bilmiyorum😄 Resmi tatil olduğu için birçok kişi aile veya arkadaşlarıyla vakit geçiriyor. Ayrıca Doğu ve Batı Almanya ve yeniden birleşme hakkında etkinlikler, törenler, sergiler ve söyleşiler de düzenleniyor.
