HUB IDEA 

Cultural Harmony Hub, a partnership between NUN and Douzan, seeks to empower Gaziantep’s refugee community to promote its cultural rights and heritage. Their overarching goal is to foster cultural understanding, community integration, and unity. By transcending cultural barriers through music and film initiatives, they aim to spark conversations about shared human experiences and the importance of preserving traditions. The collaboration’s long-term vision is to achieve heightened levels of impactful synergy in the future.

Expectations from Transnational Exchange

Transnational contributions can greatly enhance the impact and reach of our Cultural Harmony hub activities. Firstly, organisations from different countries can bring diverse cultural perspectives, artistic traditions, and expertise to our hub's activities. This infusion of varied viewpoints can enrich the discussions, performances, and interactions, promoting a more comprehensive understanding of global cultures. Secondly, partnering with organisations outside Turkey allows us to mutually share insights, best practices, and successful strategies in working with displaced communities. Finally, collaborative projects or joint performances can be organised across borders. These projects could involve creating a combined music piece, co-producing a short film, or other interdisciplinary artistic endeavours that unite participants from different regions.
