The YES Alumni Istanbul Workshop is a three-day professional development training that supports the community service activities and grassroots projects of YES alumni from 31 YES countries. There are four workshop themes – Conflict Transformation, Digital Journalism, Educational Activism and Environmental Activism – which are led by experts in their fields from around the YES world. The themes also reflect projects that alumni have initiated over the years. Alumni also receive Project Design and Management Training.  The three days will be full of learning, growth and new experiences as YES alumni develop ideas to take home to their countries and communities.
