The project created an impact on young people and the local community in Hafik, a rural district of Sivas where access to educational, cultural, and international opportunities remains limited. Many young participants had little or no prior exposure to Erasmus+, European Solidarity Corps, or international mobility options. The Eurodesk stand provided direct access to reliable youth information in a familiar and welcoming outdoor environment.

Young people increased awareness of European programmes, volunteering pathways, and learning opportunities. Through interactive games and short discussions, complex topics became easier to understand and more attractive. Several participants expressed interest in future mobility actions, asked follow-up questions, and requested guidance on how to apply. The activity strengthened motivation, self-confidence, and openness toward international experiences.

The project also strengthened social interaction and community connection. Sports activities combined with learning created a positive atmosphere where young people connected with peers, shared ideas, and discussed future goals. Youth volunteers gained experience in communication, facilitation, and public outreach while acting as information ambassadors.

At community level, the activity increased visibility of Eurodesk services among families, local institutions, and youth organisations. The visit of the Provincial Director of Youth and Sports reinforced institutional awareness and support for youth mobility and participation initiatives. Social media sharing extended reach beyond the event day and inspired other young people in nearby districts.

Importantly, the project contributed to reducing information inequality between urban and rural youth. Bringing youth information directly to a rural setting strengthened equal opportunity, social inclusion, and access to European learning pathways. The initiative encouraged young people to view themselves as active participants in education, volunteering, and civic life, supporting long-term personal growth and community development.
