Yörük Kurtaran wants people to understand the difficulties facing Turkey’s youth today, and asks, why are we still talking about young people today? Looking at the myths, generalizations, and misconceptions facing an entire generation, Kurtaran gives perspective on Turkey’s modernization path and it’s repercussions for everyone, especially women.

Yörük Kurtaran is one of TurkishWIN’s guys who rock! He is the CEO of Community Volunteers Foundation, one of the biggest NGO’s working with young people in Turkey. He is also the Coordinator of the Youth Studies Unity under the Civil Society Studies Center of Istanbul Bilgi University.
