186 There are past reflections in daily life that are still effective Knowing oneself is important in stereotype formulation, process of stereotype formulation might be confusing Description of individual versus collective We don’t have to or need to eliminate the stereotypes, but we need to make them unnecessary Youth must have a background info and capacity for involvement in decision making in the future Fascist party members, the ones already eager to dialogue. Who should be our target to promote the dialogue for? Our ideas (in this gathering/conference) should be made public and not to be limited with groups When similar people comes together, it makes everything more political Consciousness is necessary in terms of realising and struggling against the stereotypes. Stereotypes are just in the details of everyday life Final Conference WE, THE YOUNG PEOPLE OF GREECE AND TURKEY, HAVE TO BE THE AMBASSADORS OF WHAT WE SEE AND EXPERIENCE HERE. Civic Dialogue
ROAD MAP DECLARATION We - the young people of Greece and Turkey - gathered in Ankara on the occasion of the Turkish-Greek Civic Dialogue Project Final Conference, have met each other and confronted our own stereotypes. As a result of our own learning experience throughout this Project; we would like to express our vision, ideals and demands for the future cooperation of Turkish-Greek youth. We, the young people of Turkey and Greece, believe that a peaceful co-existence and cooperation between our communities - young people in particular - is of pivotal importance. While believing in the necessity of such dialogue and peace projects in the future, our goal should not be solely to talk about similarities or carry out superficial ice-breaking activities; however we need to go indepth discussions about our problems and be courageous to pioneer them. Stereotypes and lack of democratic attitude exist in our countries; however our ultimate expectation should not be totally getting rid of stereotypes, but instead making them unnecessary. Our ideals, meetings, organisations should not be closed boxes and should not be limited to the same or similar target groups. We should extend ourselves to different groups including minorities of all ethnicities in Turkey and Greece also in a wider European and global contexts. We believe that our final goal will be reached when we stop talking only about Greek-Turkish dialogue, when we stop stigmatising these two nations all the time, and when we start defining ourselves as human beings and accept this fact as the main reason why we cooperate. We, the young people of Greece and Turkey, believe that these ultimate ambitious goals can only be achieved in participation with all stakeholders. First of all, young people, university students and non-governmental organisations in both countries should develop more effective tools. A youth magazine where young people of Turkey and Greece write articles on the matters of common interest would both have a wide publicity and a direct effect. An information bank easily accessible for all citizens providing information on various matters should be established by young people. We find the existing exchange programmes between Greece and Turkey very useful and support their extension both by the use of the European Union funds Association des Etats Généraux des Etudiants de L’Europe BY PARTICIPANTS OF THE TURKISH-GREEK CIVIC DIALOGUE PROJECT FINAL CONFERENCE, April 2004, Ankara and governmental support. Still a lot remains to improve in the field of youth exchanges. We believe that longer term exchanges between two countries focusing on thematic subjects such as minority support can prove much more efficiency for the future. University students should act as pressure groups on university administrations to increase and further Bilateral Agreements between universities within the framework of Socrates Programme. We believe that the governments and political parties play an essential role. We urge that Turkish-Greek dialogue and cooperation should be a long term state policy and has to receive institutional support. The political parties should stop their policy of getting votes based on nationalistic policies and contexts. We would like to see disarmament in the region, and more civil initiatives between Greece and Turkey. Governments and relevant authorities should exert effort to facilitate mobility between Greek and Turkish citizens, young people and students in particular. We need direct connections between the capitals of Turkey and Greece, cheaper accommodation facilities and more scholarship opportunities for language learning. We don’t want any mobility obstacles; Turkish citizens should also be able to visit Greece without any visa. We, as non-governmental youth initiatives, should work for a Greek-Turkish youth network to be supported by concrete and long lasting projects. Thanks to the support to be received, Greek and Turkish youth initiatives can organise large-scale bi-annual events, festivals. We can declare a Turkish- Greek Dialogue Day and organise not only activities but also campaigns. Last but not least, we should not forget that we are all humans and indeed living in a globe, where thousands of natural disasters and environmental issues, political and military conflicts do exist. Starting from Cyprus, we should play active role as active European citizens to transform the world we are living in through the values we believe in. We need to launch large-scale action in Cyprus, to struggle the physical and mental borders and to contribute to further cooperation of Turkish and Greek Cypriots in different levels. We, the young people of Greece and Turkey, have to be the ambassadors of what we see and experience here. Final Conference 187
