KATADROM ARTS AND CULTURE PROJECT OF EXCHANGE
The Katadrom Arts and Culture Project of Exchange aims to stimulate cultural appreciation and integration among the international and Turkish students through the support of artistic and cultural creativity in all its expression and to encourage dialogue among communities.
The project offers a platform where exchange students from Turkey and all around the world can express themselves and share their artistic, cultural and social works and ideas, not only with an audience, but also with each other. It gives a chance to students to share and advertise their individual projects and support creation by providing them material, educational support and space to exhibit their works.
It gives the chance to participants from different backgrounds to familiarize themselves with the culture they temporarily live in, to transfer their own experiences, to contribute to the process of intercultural communication and dialogue through the activities of the project, to promote tolerance for different cultures once they are back in their own country, and to take a stance against discrimination.
By building bridges between youth from all over the word, Katadrom Arts and Culture Project of Exchange supports a better understanding of each other’s culture and of Turkish cultural heritage.
The Project is offering a wide range of network building studies, workshops, competitions and seminars led by professionals, from Turkey and abroad, who are engaged in the pursuit of artistic expression, in addressing social issues or cultural topics to develop an appreciation for different cultures. During the workshops, student participants will collaborate together to produce artistic works or social projects, which focus on bridging the divide between communities and raise the contemporary problems from their own society which affects them in their day to day life.
