General Information

Daktilo1984 has 3 full-time employees and has a core academic team of 10 people who are also the board members of the association. Within 2021, our approved projects budgeted 146.800 euros in total, and some of them still continue in 2022. The sources of funding were the European Climate Foundation, European Endowment for Democracy, and Frederic Naumann Foundation in Turkey. Daktilo1984 positions itself as a strictly non-partisan outlet but in close communication with all the influential political actors. Daktilo1984 Association has a media outlet that broadcasts regularly and publishes videos and podcasts on a wide range of subjects such as politics, international diplomacy, literature, art, and history. While running our media outlet we are trying to increase the number of women commentators so we are paying more to them in comparison to their male counterparts. In addition, Daktilo1984 offers tailor-fit consultancy for political parties within the framework of the European Green Deal Adaptation of Turkey.

Mission and Objectives

Our mission is to bring experts from academia, media, and business together and to pro­vide a platform for public intellectuals by using all of our resources in order to deliver a civil and reasonable debate. We envision a liberated Turkey where freedom of thought and freedom of speech is re­stored, and individual rights are protected, which will lead to Turkey being a respectable contributor to e international community.

Main Projects / Activities

How can you contribute to the Network in your country?

There are many academics on the managerial and editorial board of Daktilo1984. In parallel to our mission, we aim to conduct research in several fields including politics, economics, and international relations with our highly experienced and competent academic establishment. You can see the resumes of these people attached. We believe that the experienced academic establishment of Daktilo1984 will be an asset to the ALF network as well.

Why do you want to join the ALF Network?

Daktilo1984 is a platform that has been established by academics and we believe that academic knowledge and experience is too valuable to be encapsulated solely inside universities, thus the intellectuals of Turkey need to find creative ways to deliver the academic knowledge and make it more appealing and easy to consume in order to tear down the walls of formal education and reach to people. One of our main aims is to strengthen our academic aspect in parallel with our media presence to reach more people. In order to strengthen our academic aspect, we want to join the ALF network and see the ways to develop our team and make them more productive.
