dc.description.abstractErasmus+ Youth Exchanges (E+YE) projects are supported by the European Union with the aim of strengthening the social participation of young people and enabling them to develop various key competencies. Every year, thousands of young people from T & uuml;rkiye participate in both national and international E+YE projects. Especially in recent years, with the rapid increase in the population of migrant students, the social cohesion processes experienced by young people from different cultures have become a focal point. The aim of the study is to reveal the impact of E+YE projects held at Harran University on the social cohesion processes of migrant and local young people with limited opportunities. As such, an attempt was made to determine the perception of limited opportunities among young people, their motivations for participating in projects, as well as their individual gains and personal growth thanks to their completion of the projects. Using a qualitative method, interviews were conducted with 16 young people participating in these projects. The data obtained from the interviews were subjected to descriptive analysis. The findings indicate that E+YE projects lead to significant changes in the lives of young people in terms of social inclusion and personal skills development, and open up new horizons for them. Another important finding of the study is that the experiences of young people intersect at various levels in terms of their motivations for participating in projects and the gains they obtain. Additionally, this study highlights the importance of E+YE projects in strengthening the social cohesion of migrant and local young people and in fostering a culture of living together.
