Our vision is to adopt and share our cultural values and cultural diversity as our common humanistic heritage from our geography.
The purpose of the foundation is to promote social awareness and sensitivity for protection and preservation of historical, cultural and natural heritage and assets of Turkey, and to help younger generations understand and assimilate such heritage. Its main areas of interest are history, archaeology, fine arts, and travel culture. It also aims to protect and preserve disappearing or threatened cultural heritage items such as traditional timberwork or similar handcrafts.
Our foundation has created an authentic training model for students of ages 12-14; named the “"Cultural Awareness Program For Children". Other activities in this field are conferences, seminars and meetings in various related topics.
Our foundation implements projects which contribute to the maintenance of museums and ruins which have budget problems and are found to be neglected.
Various campaigns and activities are conducted to advocate the restoration and protection of cultural heritage. We promote cultural tours by enlightening travelers about countries and locations before their arrival to their destinations and organizing archives of traveling notes, slides and films.
