European-Turkish Network For Democracy and Civil Society


The main goal of this project is to develop the capacity of human rights civil society organizations in Turkey and in Europe to: (1) act in a more horizontal and collaborative way, (2) foster international solidarity and (3) put pressure on international policy makers with the aim of strengthening democracy, human rights and the rule of law.

Within the course of the project,
  • Research was conducted on the needs and requirements of international actors following civil society in Turkey and in Europe concerning international advocacy.
  • Advocacy training was conducted to increase the capacity of human rights defenders from Turkey who had the experience and the willingness to engage in the wider international network.
  • Workshops were organized to bring HR CSOs from Turkey and European countries together for exchange and to develop policy recommendations with a comparative perspective.
  • Public events were organised to discuss the experience of civil society in Turkey and beyond with a comparative perspective.
