Our festival will feature two days of workshops, panel discussions, plays, film screenings and various performances with the participation of civil society organizations from different cities in Turkey working in different areas of rights.
Make your plans now!
We have organized the two-day events within the Civil Voices Festival on the campus of the TED College. Participation Point, Well-Being Point, Aesthetic Point, Finally Meeting Square, Game Point and Grass Amphitheater will host CSOs for two days.
Outside the campus, we will have two very fun activities in one of the most important green spaces in Ankara, Kurtuluş Park. One is the walking workshop organized by the Gender Equality Monitoring Association and the other is the tandem bike ride organized by Eşpedal Derneği.
Digital safety, violence and assault against the elderly, safe relationships, children's participation, shaping public space, and rights-based journalism are just a few of the topics we will be talking about in the workshops. There will also be film screenings at the festival. From orchards growing against concrete in cities to the struggle of students in Turkey, from cathedrals to women taking charge of their lives, audiences will encounter a variety of stories at the Grass Amphitheater.
