Deng û Reng

September 2025 – March 2026
DIYARBAKIR

The Deng û Reng project aims to increase the participation of young people in creative cultural production processes and to strengthen their sense of belonging to their mother tongue by providing them with Kurdish dubbing training to 15 teeenagers aged 14–18 living in Diyarbakır. The young people will learn voice-over techniques with professional trainers and dub selected animation characters in Kurdish; the resulting works will be shared in a public screening (at least 3 works). At least four of the participants who successfully complete the training will continue production in collaboration with Zarok TV; thus, the project will achieve a sustainable structure that increases the visibility of the Kurdish language in the cultural sphere.

Children First Association

The Children First Association was established in Diyarbakır in 2017 by bringing together competent individuals in their respective fields, such as lawyers, journalists, educators, and human rights defenders. Referencing the Convention on the Rights of the Child adopted by the United Nations General Assembly, the association works to support children's psycho-social development, educate and support their development in the field of culture and arts, and promote their linguistic, mental and physical development. organising technical/scientific workshops and training sessions focused on preparing children for the era of developing technology and science, as well as combating child labour, carrying out work for the benefit of migrant and refugee children, and establishing collaborations with or supporting individuals and organisations active in these areas constitute the organisation's priority areas of work.
