Social Cohesion in Civil Society Festival

The Social Cohesion in Civil Society Festival, organized in collaboration between the Bahçeşehir University Migration and Urban Studies Application and Research Center (BAUMUS) and Harmony, was held on 9 November at the Fazıl Say Hall. Aiming to strengthen social cohesion by encouraging intercultural interaction, the festival brought together individuals from different cultures.

The event offered a program based on day-long sessions, stand areas, workshops and various activities. Participants had the opportunity to meet civil society organizations and gained insight into social cohesion through sessions with different concepts.

As a research and application center known for its work in the fields of migration, urbanization and social cohesion, BAUMUS contributed to the realization of this festival. The festival also enabled BAUMUS to share its accumulated knowledge with wider audiences.

Harmony, one of the organizations in collaboration with which the event was held, took part in the festival as an international civil society initiative whose mission is to increase understanding and cooperation among individuals from different cultures.

This collaboration strengthened intercultural dialogue and further consolidated social ties. The Social Cohesion in Civil Society Festival once again reminded us how valuable solidarity and intercultural understanding are as people come together. Aiming to contribute to building a future in which individuals from different cultures can live together in harmony, the event offered participants an unforgettable experience.
