The Sivil Voices Festival is a polyphonic choir where civil society organizations from diverse fields come together to share their experiences, knowledge, and dreams. This choir will gather once again in Ankara on June 5–6, 2026!

Together, we are raising the voice of civil society for climate justice and democracy. This year, Türkiye is preparing to host a critical global gathering. Ahead of the United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP31), which will take place in Antalya on November 9–20, 2026, we are designing the Sivil Voices Festival as a strategic meeting point that strengthens the meaningful participation of rights-based civil society in climate governance in Türkiye.

Under the theme “Climate Crisis, Democracy, and Meaningful Participation of Civil Society” we will come together over two days to discuss solutions—grounded in the belief that the climate crisis cannot be addressed without the meaningful participation of civil society.

With this year’s gathering, we aim to support the mainstreaming of environmental and climate rights across all organizations through a rights-based approach, strengthen the role of civil society in political decision-making processes, and enhance its effective participation in the international climate regime.

At the festival, which we envision as a bridge between the global environmental movement and local dynamics, we will host international representatives from the UN Major Groups (the 9 Constituency Groups) in Ankara, creating a vibrant space for knowledge exchange and partnership-building with stakeholders in Türkiye.

By joining the Sivil Voices Festival—where we aim to provide a concrete platform for knowledge sharing, capacity building, national and international networking, and joint advocacy—you can also contribute to this process. You can present your work through stands, engage in discussions on key issues in panels and forums, and gain new insights in masterclasses sessions.

In this gathering, where we will discuss our shared challenges from the climate crisis to democracy, we will once again emphasize that our world needs democracy—and democracy needs civil society.

Join us in Ankara on June 5–6 and become part of this polyphonic choir!

  • Dr. Aslı Odman | Mimar Sinan Fine Arts University

A rules-based international order may never have been a reality, but it was an ideal; now, we are witnessing that even this aspiration is under a serious and severe threat.

We are witnessing the ongoing wars in Ukraine and the Middle East, the wave of militarization accelerated by these conflicts, and the undisputed dominance of security-oriented policies. We are seeing social welfare policies and budgets—already marginalized under 40 years of neoliberal hegemony—being slashed in favor of the defense industry, turning basic needs like education, housing, and healthcare into crises even for Europe.

We are witnessing the concentration of the historical accumulation of eight billion people and the wealth of the planet's natural resources in the hands of a few capitalist multinational corporations. While the top 1% continues to control a massive portion of the world's wealth, criticism is mounting that most "Net Zero" promises made by states and corporations against the quest to prevent global temperature rise from exceeding the critical threshold of 1.5°C remain purely on paper. Meanwhile, we are witnessing extreme weather events, droughts, massive forest fires, and floods—all impacts of climate change—becoming the standard, and food transforming into a speculative commodity.

To the massive migration movements caused by poverty and wars, "climate refugees" are now being added, forced to leave their homelands as their territories become uninhabitable.

The Global North, possessing the historical wealth opportunities brought by early industrialization, resorts to more military/security measures and builds walls on its borders to block these forced population movements, with the US at the forefront. While this situation naturally increases human trafficking and loss of life along maritime routes, it also fuels populist narratives that provoke xenophobia in these countries.

Xenophobia is not limited only to immigrants seeking refuge in a country. By framing "foreign states" as a growing internal threat through techno-tools like communication technologies and artificial intelligence, it prevents structural problems related to the economic model—such as domestic economic contraction, loss of welfare, and worsening living conditions—from becoming the main agenda.

Under the conditions briefly outlined above, this year’s Civil Voices Festival aims first to better comprehend the state of the world and, within this framework, to discuss the opportunities and constraints of civil society organizations regarding the trajectory of the planet.

Focusing for Rights-Based Workers: Wellbeing and Resilience Practices

This workshop, to be led by Ceren Can—an experienced professional in the fields of civil society and humanitarian aid—aims to collectively explore body-regulation-based coping tools through the Focusing method, in the face of chronic stress, emotional burden, and triggers experienced by professionals working in humanitarian aid and rights-based fields.

Throughout the workshop, participants will reflect together on maintaining their internal clarity, managing emotional burdens, and developing a healthier communication language within the team based on companionship rather than conflict. At the same time, practical methods for coping with burnout and establishing more balanced and compassionate relationships with beneficiary groups in the field will be addressed.

This workshop is intended for professionals working in the humanitarian aid field, experts and coordinators working in rights-based civil society organizations, field teams involved in disaster response and recovery processes, and social workers and volunteers working with vulnerable groups such as children, refugees, and women.

Anatomy of Principles

This workshop, to be led by STGM Capacity Development Coordinator Hatice Kapusuz, will put the principles we frequently express in our organizational lives under the microscope.

Aiming to bring "gravity" to organizational principles and to pull them out of an abstract framework to embed them into daily life, this study will collectively build the link extending from values to daily behaviors. These bonds will be remembered once again by reflecting together on how principles resonate not just in texts, but in relationships and organizational practices.

You are invited to make the bonds we build in organizational and human relations visible through the common principles of civil society.

This workshop is intended for civil society organization representatives, those who take an active role in policy-making processes within their organizations, and participants who have experienced various challenges in these processes.

From Commitment to Action: Where Can Organizations Start for the Climate?

As the impacts of the climate crisis steadily deepen, it is of paramount importance for philanthropy and civil society actors to transform into organizations that integrate a climate perspective into all their areas of work.

This workshop aims to enable civil society organizations to explore ways to take corporate-level responsibility against the climate crisis, to get to know the National Philanthropy Commitment of Turkey, and to design the first concrete steps for their own institutions.

Tütengül Küçüker and Melisa Kutluğ from TÜSEV invite civil society organizations that wish to integrate the climate agenda into their work to think and produce together.

Post-Disaster Environment-Focused Civil Society Collaboration: Scaling Impact Through Strategic Philanthropy

This gathering aims to collectively discuss why the environmental dimension is critical in post-disaster recovery processes and to make the practical reflections of ecosystem-based approaches visible on the ground.

In this session organized by Turkish Philanthropy Funds, we will discuss how a multi-stakeholder grant mechanism is designed and implemented, while exploring how collaborations between funders and implementers are established and experienced in the field.

In this session, participants will have the opportunity to collectively evaluate:

  • The role of ecosystem-based approaches in post-disaster recovery processes,
  • How funder and implementer collaborations work,
  • Real project experiences and learnings from the field.

Mapping the COP31 Kitchen: Actors, Alliances, and Channels of Influence

This workshop aims to collectively identify actors working at international, national, regional, and local scales within the context of COP31, and to map the relationships, mechanisms, and decision-making processes among these actors.

In this workshop, which will be led by Ezgi Gedik and Celal Can Bilgiç from GoFor, participants will have the opportunity to re-evaluate the actors and mechanisms they already know, discover new ones, and reflect together on the dynamics between these structures.

Designed with a Community Mapping approach, youth participation lies at the core of the workshop. Participants will collectively explore where their own organizations stand within this network, which areas they can connect with, and which mechanisms they can access.

Ankara's Vineyards: The Atlas of Collective Water Memory

Aiming to rethink Ankara's vineyards, streams, and water-related landscapes—which have disappeared over time—through collective memory, this workshop will allow participants to uncover invisible traces of water by intervening in the map of Ankara based on their own experiences, associations, and observations, rather than producing technical data.

In this workshop, which will be led by Ankara Aks, water will be addressed not only as a physical element but also as a tool for discussion in the context of urban transformation, public space, and ecological memory.

Civil society workers, participants interested in the city, ecology, and public space, and anyone with a practice in or an interest in research, design, or activism can join this workshop.

Telling the Truth Despite Algorithms in the Age of Noise

Designed for journalists, rights advocates, independent media workers, content creators, and civil society professionals working in the field of communication, this workshop opens up a collective discussion on how algorithms shape the circulation of information, visibility, and public debate.

In this workshop, which will be moderated by Gülin Çavuş—who works at the intersection of media, artificial intelligence, and ethical technology—visibility, reach, and engagement processes on digital platforms will be addressed with a critical perspective. Participants will have the opportunity to reflect together on alternative narratives and solidarity practices in the face of algorithmic shadowbanning, polarization, and manipulation.

Designed by the Communication Working Group—which brings together communicators actively working in the field of communication within civil society organizations and is facilitated by STGM—this workshop aims to strengthen the critical awareness and strategic skills of everyone who produces or wishes to produce rights-based content on digital platforms.

Relationship and Trust Building in Resource Development

Resource development is often described as "writing a good project" or "finding the right fund." However, most support decisions are based not only on projects but on trust, relationships, transparency, and a shared dream of change.

In this session, moderated by STGM Resource Development Expert Selin Berghan, we are moving beyond the conventional "program introduction" format. Bringing together representatives from the Sabancı Foundation, STDV, Mozaik, TÜSEV, the Dalyan Foundation, and TPF, we will discuss the expectations on both sides of the table, the bottlenecks in the financial sustainability of civil society, and the role of current transformations like artificial intelligence in this dialogue.

In this session, we will collectively discuss not only support mechanisms, but also how donor institutions think, what kind of applications get them excited, at what points they experience a loss of trust, how application processes transformed by AI affect relationship dynamics, and which types of relationships turn into long-term collaborations.

What Will We Do?

  • Data from the field: Through Mentimeter, we will project the current challenges, revenue structures, and curiosities regarding the donor side of the participating organizations live onto the screen.
  • Candid Dialogue: We will hear directly from donor institutions about what excites them in an application, and how they define areas of "failure" and "learning."
  • Relationship-Oriented Closing: At the end of the session, we will allocate networking time to turn the panel discussions into concrete collaborations and new contacts.

We invite everyone who views resource development not just as a "fundraising" process, but as building long-term partnerships and spheres of influence, to join this dialogue.

You are invited to this workshop, which is designed for all civil society workers carrying out communication, advocacy, campaigns, social media, field work, and community studies within civil society organizations, and who wish to tell their organizational stories in more creative, inclusive, and transformative ways.

This workshop was born out of the Communication Working Group, which is facilitated by STGM and brings together communicators actively working in the field of communication within civil society organizations.

Can Climate Justice Exist Without People with Disabilities?

This workshop aims to collectively address the impacts of the climate crisis on people with disabilities through a rights-based and intersectional perspective.

Led by İdil Seda Ak from the Association of Women with Disabilities, the workshop will facilitate collective discussions on topics such as disasters, accessibility, the care burden, displacement, the right to health, the experiences of women with disabilities, and inclusive climate policies.

Together with the participants, accessibility gaps in policies and practices developed against the climate crisis will be evaluated; a space will be opened to think collectively on solution proposals and advocacy areas regarding disability inclusion.

By the end of this workshop, participants are expected to evaluate the impacts of the climate crisis on people with disabilities more holistically, analyze inclusivity issues in disaster and climate policies, and develop proposals that will strengthen the focus on disability within the climate struggle.

A New Narrative of Power: Power Stories

Do you have a story of “empowerment” in the civil sphere? If you wanted to tell it to someone, how would you go about it? Or would you hesitate to share it?

In the civil sphere, the stories told in the struggle for rights can sometimes get stuck in the same patterns, reproducing a sense of helplessness. So much so that we never seem to get to the real issue. In this workshop, we will explore what changes when we reframe and tell a difficult and powerful story in a different way, rather than always using the same patterns.

Led by Pınar Özütemiz, who works in the field of storytelling, this workshop will reexamine the concept of “power” not through the lens of hardship and domination, but through the techniques of storytelling—focusing on transformation and creativity.

We invite you to discover your own story of power.

This workshop is open to anyone interested in storytelling in the civil sector and eager to experience new ideas and creative work. It is particularly intended to offer an empowering experience for individuals and organizations who have remained silent for some time and wish to find freedom through storytelling.

* Since the workshop involves physical movement, we recommend that you be mindful of your own physical limits throughout the process and wear comfortable clothing suitable for movement.

* The workshop is limited to 20 participants.

Opening up a space to think together on how the climate crisis reflects on civil society's ways of working, advocacy areas, and decision-making processes, this workshop will offer a firsthand experience of the negotiation process through the C-ROADS simulation. Led by the Social Climate Association, the workshop will address climate justice, negotiation, and organizational resilience while exploring how decisions are shaped among different actors.

Everyone wishing to discuss the impact of the climate crisis on their own field of work is invited to this workshop—especially civil society professionals, volunteers, youth organizations, rights-based structures, and local initiatives.

We look forward to thinking and experiencing together, particularly with those who want to rethink their strategy and advocacy approach during the COP31 process.

This workshop aims to collectively explore how CSOs can use artificial intelligence in a more creative, strategic, and practical way in their advocacy and daily operations. Moving forward through experience sharing and mutual learning, AI applications will be tested, short case studies will be analyzed together, and different usage scenarios will be discussed.

Led by digital communication experts Özgür Mehmet Kütküt and Özgür Kurtuluş, the workshop will feature live prompt testing, small exercises, and collective discussions. Rather than focusing on the question of "what can AI do?", it will open up a space to think together around the question of "what can be done with this?" in line with the specific needs of CSOs.

Community-Supported Agriculture I Opportunities and Limits

Community-supported agriculture initiatives and food-based solidarity structures (food communities, consumer cooperatives, etc.) in Turkey, and specifically in Ankara, are not multiplying and strengthening to the expected extent. In this workshop, we will collectively address the reasons behind this situation, and discuss potential solutions and what the experience of the TADYA Collective has shown us.

We will get to know participatory guarantee systems (PGS) that can be applied at different scales and together establish the agroecological criteria for a PGS suitable for community-supported food initiatives in Turkey.

We look forward to welcoming food communities, food cooperatives, producers, consumers, and anyone interested in food supply or presentation to this workshop, which will be led by Ceyhun Temürcü, a founding member of the TADYA Collective.

How is Organizational Wellbeing Possible?

You are invited to this workshop, designed for all rights advocates working in civil society organizations, rights-based networks, and activist groups who experience the feeling of "not being able to keep up," "being overwhelmed," or "emotional exhaustion."

In this workshop, which will be led by Umut Güven—who has been working in the field of human rights and gender equality for many years—we focus on the intense emotional labor and structural challenges inherent in activism. While discussing that the solution cannot be limited solely to 'personal self-care,' we open up a discussion on wellbeing as a strategic and collective responsibility of organizations.

You are invited to:

  • Recognize the structural reasons behind burnout,
  • Identify "wellbeing leaks" (such as ambiguous tasks, lack of feedback, and the right to rest),
  • Discover how organizational wellbeing can be built through collective care practices.

* A maximum of 20 people can participate in this workshop.

Ethical Boundaries When Working with Children: Consent and Representation Workshop

What do we do when a child says "I don't want to"? Is parental consent always enough? When making decisions about children's visibility, representation, and participation, how much do we truly hear their voice?

In this workshop, which will be led by feminist child rights advocate Hatice Kapusuz and Attorney Ceren Fırat, we will collectively discuss common ethical dilemmas encountered when working with children. We will open up a space to rethink the child protection approach not just along the axis of safety, but through the perspectives of power relations, adultcentrism, bodily autonomy, representation, and child participation.

Through case studies, ethical discussions, and experience sharing, we will talk together about our practices of "deciding on behalf of the child," the limits of good intentions, and what it truly means for children to be the subjects of these processes.

Focusing on ensuring that audio-visual content (advocacy videos, documentaries, short films) is accessible to everyone, this workshop will share how practices such as audio description and detailed subtitles can be used as a rights-based communication approach, rather than just being technical details.

Within the scope of the workshop, good practices will be analyzed together, and a short Q&A session on accessibility will be held.
