The Civil Voices Festival, which will be attended by civil society organizations and activists from all over Turkey working in many different areas of rights, from environmental rights to disability rights, from child rights to urban rights, from youth rights to animal rights, will take place on 4 and 5 October 2024 at TED University in Ankara.
The Civil Voices Festival, which will bring together civil society actors from Turkey and around the world, will be attended by civil society organizations active in different cities and in different areas of law. Representatives of civil society organizations abroad, experts, academics, representatives of donor organisations and local governments are also among our guests.
This year, our guests can expect forums on various topics, different games, workshops for exchanging experiences and creative performances. Many civil society organizations will once again be represented with their stands at the festival for two days.
The doors of the festival, which will be held in Ankara, are open to all actors in the civic space. Those who want to follow the festival can participate in the festival and follow the events with their own means.
