In addition, the Ministry will organize events such as educational seminars and conferences, workshops, environmental awareness initiatives, social responsibility projects, and both national and international youth projects in partnership with the Federation.

Under the protocol, the following youth centers will be transferred to the Youth Federation:

• Dipkarpaz Youth Center
