The Civil Voices Festival will be held in Ankara between September 30 and October 1, 2022. It will be attended by civil society organizations and activists working in many different areas of rights, from environmental rights to disability rights, from children's rights to the right to the city, from youth rights to animal rights.
Our goal is to bring together civil society actors from Turkey and around the world at the Civil Voices Festival, more specifically more than 100 civil society organizations working in various fields.We are preparing a very extensive program for the two-day festival. Our guests will include representatives of civil society organizations and activists from abroad, experts, academics, representatives of donor organizations and local governments.
At the festival we will meet with our guests in seminars and panel discussions, and in the experience-sharing workshops, where civil society organizations will share their own work, the difficulties they face in the field, and their methods to overcome these difficulties. Participating organizations will also have the opportunity to introduce themselves through stand activities or poster presentations.As soon as the program is finalized, we will inform you here about the details of the two days program.
