General Information

Kefder is a non-profit organization based in Izmir-Turkiye which aims to make people aware of social, cultural, technical, economic, and environmental matters by providing local, national, and international interaction and cooperation with 10 years of experience, expertise, and an extensive network.

Cultural awareness is being aware of the values, beliefs, and perceptions. Because transportation and communication tools are shaping up at incredible speed, the diversity between societies and cultures is noticed more nowadays. As a result, cultural interaction is gaining speed at the same rate. People living in different geographical lands, speaking other languages, religions, thoughts, and lifestyles are enjoying similar things now. This era exposes people being as people who have their own cultural attitudes but also familiar with other cultures in the World. The contemporary person is expected to know much about his own culture and should know and respect the characteristics and values of other cultures and have the knowledge and awareness to interact with his own culture and the other ones. We believe that if people have cultural awareness, they support respect, and tolerate each other, set up empathy, recognize common problems, and look for their solutions. Therefore, they perceive the cultural variety, not as a problem but as an advantage. For these reasons, our association aims to work on this main topic. We are giving importance to various processes of lifelong learning and nonformal education

Mission and Objectives

KEFDER brings together people from various jobs, genders, economic levels, and ages and also cooperates with other nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) and institutions. Members of our association are a wide and interdisciplinary group of people who are working with collaboration, synergy, and co-creation between public and private players.

We are working for ensuring cultural interaction, cultural heritage, cultural tourism, and digitalization in the cultural fields. Cultural and creative industries are an important part of the "social" dimension of democracy and sustainability. Digitization also provides new training opportunities in creative industries for all the people around the world by generating music, filmmaking, video games, digital twins of natural and historical heritage objects(NFD),… etc. We are interested in making workshops to improve people's skills in traditional handcrafts, local food culture, fine arts, printings, natural dyes, felt arts, mosaics, ceramics,... etc. Additionally, we are working to inform and raise awareness on people about important issues around the world.

We are preparing educational activities such as courses, seminars, conferences, panels, and workshops, organizing festivals, cultural trips, meetings, concerts, exhibitions, and competitions, and producing presentation materials.
