Inter-City Networking Grants

Inter-City Networking Grants focus on the development of inter-city networks and dialogue between different actors beyond the urban and cultural centres of Ankara, İstanbul and İzmir.

These grants foster decentralised exchange and network-building throughout Turkey.

The aim of these grants is the implementation of inter-city projects involving cultural actors from different cities and the activities envisaged to be carried out within the scope of the applied project must cover more than one city and the participants must be from other cities for applications made from Istanbul, Ankara and Izmir.
