The duration of the program is planned as 1 year.  This period will begin with the registration of the participants at the beginning of each year.  In each quarter, there will be questionnaires that include the suggestions and complaints of the participating young people about the program.

Based on this feedback, it will be decided to make changes and improvements in the program contents.  Thus, our program's contests will not be stable and will constantly update itself. In this sense, the active and effective implementation of the program will be ensured.
