Bahçeşehir University Chair of the Board of Trustees Enver Yücel said: "The Kulturgeschichten (Culture Stories) Project we have launched with the Berlin Museum of Islamic Art will develop intercultural mutual understanding, tolerance, dialogue and communication worldwide. I believe that this project will achieve important work in raising a good generation. This initiative will also increase scientific cooperation and dialogue among researchers." Enver Yücel underlined that the Bahçeşehir University Berlin Campus will also contribute and provide services effectively and efficiently to this project, which will be implemented with the academic support of Bahçeşehir University.

The Culture Stories project has content that will support cultural activities targeting children and schools. The aim of the project is to contribute to the cultural integration process of Muslims, and especially Turks, living in Germany. The priority is to ensure that children encounter different cultures at an early age and to overcome their concerns in their dialogue with different cultures... The Culture Stories Project aims to contribute to mutual understanding between different cultures.

In the Culture Stories project, to be carried out throughout Germany, work will be carried out to improve the quality of the intercultural education and dialogue of teachers and students aged 10-11 . The project focuses especially on the children of Turkish and Muslim families and on the teachers who are closely involved in their education.
