Dev-Genç

Dev-Genç, short for “Development Youth,” was a Turkish youth organization founded in the 1960s that aimed to promote social change through political activism, education, and community involvement. It focused on empowering young people to engage in issues like democracy, human rights, and development. The group often organized events, discussions, and actions to raise awareness and foster civic participation. While it played a significant role in Turkey’s political landscape during its active years, it was also associated with leftist and revolutionary movements. Today, Dev-Genç is remembered as a symbol of youth activism and political engagement during a transformative era in Turkey.
