The organization was established in August 2012 by a notarial deed and officially registered by Polish court in 2013. 4 members of a Management Board are: Boaz Yardeni (chairman of the foundation), Yosef Erez, Dominika Zakrzewska (project manager of the foundation), Vera Korsonsky. We also have an agreement with certified accountant specialising in regulations according non-governmental organizations to keep an order in accounting books of the Foundation. During the exact projects Foundation employ other staff members according to needs. We apply for a grants from municipality, governmental founds, foundations, European Union projects and European Commission programs as well as looking for private sponsors. Depending on a program we apply alone or with our partner organizations from Poland and abroad. Last year even we just started we were engaged as a partner organization in Polish-Israeli cultural exchange for students and leading two weekly seminars for Israeli teachers and educators in Poland. We also organised family intercultural workshops "Family happiness of winter eves" which goal was to teach about catholic and jewish eves taking place in winter and as well inter-generation integration thanks to participation of people between 3 to 76 years old under facilitation of highly-qualified educators and psychologists. Right now we are on a process of preparing Israeli Folk Dance and Culture Workshops in Poland which is planned to take place in May 2014 and several intercultural and leadership programs for students and educators from Poland, Israel and other countries from Europe, Africa and Middle East. Until now main partners of the Foundation were Association Friends in Culture from Gdańsk in Poland, Sparkpro Organization from Israel, Socio-Cultural Association of Jews in Poland, Academy of Special Education in Warsaw. We also have a patronage of Prime minister Chancellery in Poland, Polish Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Polish Banks Association, Polish Embassy in Tel-Aviv - Israel. Even the Foundation is very Young, people who work in it have a several years experience in education and facilitating intercultural projects and programme management.
Mission and Objectives

Our main mission is to create a platform of developing friendship and understanding between people coming from various cultural, religious and social background. We want to promote a dialog,cooperation and democracy as a way to achieve better standars of life. We find it very important to work with people who have the biggest influence on youths like teachers and educators because we believe that the attitudes they present play a crucial role in raising children. We also find it important to strengthen leadership skills of young people, give them opportunity to develope competences in social communication, conflict management, expressing emotions in socially approved ways etc. One of our roles is as well fighting stereotypes and preudices by giving people a chance to learn and experience contact with representatives of other cultures under a suprvision and support of qualified facilitators.

Main Projects / Activities

Our two main projects carried out every year are:
- Cultural exchange for students from Poland and Israel (including also representatives of Polish and israeli minorities like: druze, arabs, beduins, gypsies). Participating in a project taking place for a week in Poland and a week in Israel gives them possibility not only to experience and discover the richness of other country culture but also to establish friendship relations with people from their country representing other cultural or religious background, learn from each other, exchange opinions and points of view.
- Seminars for Israeli teachers and educators in Poland- This project is extremely important because of a long and rich history of coexistance of Polish and Jewish nation and its tragic end during Second World War. Its aim is to deeper knowledge of Israeli teachers and educators in the field of 1000 years of Polish-Jewish common history, Polish-Israeli relations and contemporary Poland. ne of the most important things is to give them possibility to meet Polish students, teachers, volunteers, employees of non-governmental organizations. To establish person to person relations and discover real people after the wall of stereotypes and prejudices and see the reality that is often not exactly what participants imagine before. The project helps to establish also cooperation between educational, cultural and research centres and institutions from both countries.
Other projects:
Intercultural projects - we are planning to establish a series of workshops dedicated to families aiming to show culture of minorities in Poland and give possibility to meet its representatives.
In our closest plans is also preparing intercultural communication seminars for people from Israel (Jesh and Arabs), African, Middle-eastern and European countries

Project 2
Project title: Power of partnership – Youth vision for 2020
Object and results of the action: The major goal of this project was to increase the involvement of young people without experience in Youth Programme in an international projects by means of creating a better understanding of possible opportunities and positive impact of opening the local communities which leads to tolerance and open mindness in local society. Fostering inter-cultural dialog among youth to improve the quality and competence in partnership collaboration among youth, youth NGOs and local authorities. To foster inter-cultural dialogue between the participants and learn on other cultures by using different methods, To rise participants' awareness on cooperation and partnership cultures of other participants and knowledge of Euro-med. To contribute in reduction of inter-cultural prejudices and bias in the countries involved in the project. And to contribute to the ability of young people to engage in collaboratively and encourage social exclusion, multi-cultural awareness and inter-cultural toleration. Youth from Turkey, Italy, Jordan, Israel, Czech Republic and Egypt increased their knowledge on other cultures and collaborative partnership possibilities and techniques by discussing and using different methods, aiming to foster dialogue and deliver message for peace and tolerance. -Advancing cooperation between the participating cities throughout the Mediterranean region and Europe.
Before we start the project we planned to organize a small competition to elect successful youth to participate a Training Course and also training course for youth from Turkey and Euro-Med Youth III Programme Countries in Ankara with the cooperation of Municipality, NGO’s and youth including activities that aim to rise participants’ awareness on different cultures, and increase their knowledge on other cultures by discussing and using different methods, aiming to foster dialogue and deliver message of peace and tolerance and to exchange ideas on prejudices.
We prepared a poster and gave these posters to the group leaders during the preparatory meeting held before the project started. It was reallt amazing what kind of interesting and inter related outcomes, such as music, paintings, graphs, presentations, etc obtained from each country and each individual participant selected to particicpate in this project. They were even had difficulties to decide who should participte in this training course due to excess of the applications. There fore some of the countries bought one extra participant to our project.
After the training course; We planned to facilitate both long-term and short term objectives for European and Mediterranean youth leaders, objectives that closely mirror the aims of mobility and participation as outlined by the Euro-Med YOUTH programme itself These goals include:
-Providing a Training Course in which leaders from varied societies can freely interact;
-Building specific and thematic skills necessary for the instillation of peace and the resolution of conflict;
-Encouraging and supporting youth leaders;
-Raising awareness of socio-gaps that exist within societies;
-Introducing and furthering the activities of the Euro-Med YOUTH programme, making it available to a wider base of potential participants;
-Creating a joint identity by establishing common future visions and goals;
-Promoting cultural exchange and understanding, and encouraging interfaith dialogue;

General Information
The Istanbul Foundation for Culture and Arts (İKSV) was founded in 1973, with the initial goals of offering the finest examples of cultural and artistic production from around the world and introducing new initiatives and movements to arts enthusiasts in Istanbul. Further goals included presenting the cultural and artistic assets of Turkey to the world and turning Istanbul into a major center within the international culture and arts community. IKSV is run by an elected Board and a general manager assigned by the Board. Under the general manager are 7 artistic directors responsable for the festivals and 5 administrative departments. Today the number of full time staff employed by the Foundation has reached up to 80. The Foundation also employs part-time and seasonal staff varying according to needs. The yearly budget of IKSV is around 14 million Euros (in cash and in kind). The main sources of funding are sponsors followed by government and international funds, individual donors and ticket income.
Mission and Objectives

IKSV aims at creating an international medium to promote and feature not only the cultural heritages of Turkish society but also those of other societies in the world by facilitating the sharing of inspiration and creativity among arts and the artists which would lead the peoples of distinct cultural backgrounds towards a better understanding and contribute to world peace by creating a sense of global awareness through the arts.
The general objectives are:
To make Istanbul one of the world’s foremost capitals of culture and the arts.
To create a continuous interaction between the national and the universal and between traditional and contemporary values via culture and the arts.
To actively contribute to the development of cultural policies.

Main Projects / Activities

The first Istanbul Festival ran from 15 June to 15 July 1973 and contributed greatly to the establishment of the concept and phenomenon of the ‘festival’ in Turkey. The Istanbul Festival originally focused on classical music, but eventually included film screenings, theatre and dance performances, exhibitions and contemporary music concerts. Over time, groups of events from different artistic disciplines gradually evolved into distinct festivals. The Istanbul Foundation for Culture and Arts, organises the Istanbul Festivals of Music, Film, Theatre and Jazz, as well as the Istanbul Biennial, the Istanbul Design Biennial, autumn film week ‘Filmekimi’, and the Leyla Gencer Voice Competition. Also active on the international stage, İKSV organises festivals in major European cities and has managed the Pavilion of Turkey at the Venice Biennial since 2007.
In addition to organising festivals, biennials and events in Turkey and abroad, the Istanbul Foundation for Culture and Arts works in these fields
• conservation of traditional arts and cultural heritage
• encouraging and facilitating artistic production in diverse disciplines
• cultural policy development
