The Civil Voices Festival, which brings together rights-based organizations from various parts of Turkey, will bring civil society actors side by side this year to increase the well-being and the aesthetic, enable equal lives, build a more participatory democracy and talk about a Turkey where we are better together. The festival, which will bring together the experiences, accumulations, works and dreams of civil society organizations in their fields, will include various workshops and events. CSOs will also have the opportunity to present their work at the stands they will set up.
*All events at the festival are free and open to everyone for two days.
Meet us at Civil Voices Festival
Applications are open for the Civil Voices Festival, which brings together civil society actors from Turkey. We have started to receive applications from civil society organizations who would like to set up a stand at the 7th Civil Voices Festival, which we will host on 4-5 October 2024 at TED University in Ankara, or who need support for transportation and accommodation to attend the festival.
At the festival, which brings together the experiences, knowledge, work and dreams of civil society organizations in their fields, civil society organisations get to know each other through various workshops, forums and interview activities, talk about cooperation opportunities, discuss areas and have the opportunity to present their work at the stands.
Apply for a stand at the festival!
Civil society organizations working with a rights-based approach can share their work with participants at their stands during the two-day festival.
