Erasmus+ Partner from Türkiye | Human Rights, Inclusion & Active Citizenship

Looking for a committed Erasmus+ partner from Türkiye?

Vicdan Foundation (Vicdan Vakfı) is a non-profit civil society organisation based in Ankara, Türkiye, and we are open to joining Erasmus+ projects and European cooperation initiatives as an active partner.

Our work focuses on human rights, social inclusion, active citizenship, democratic participation, anti-discrimination, social cohesion, psychosocial wellbeing, non-formal learning and intercultural dialogue.

What makes Vicdan Foundation a valuable project partner is our ability to connect rights-based work with real communities, research, education and public engagement. By the end of 2025, our network had grown to 259 registered volunteers, including professionals and contributors from education, law, psychology, social research, communication, culture and civil society.

Our activities include the Human Rights School, Family School, Otherness Research Programme, psychosocial activities, community dialogue programmes, human-rights monitoring and awareness activities, cultural programmes, publications and digital campaigns. We also work with testimonies and socially underrepresented voices and conduct research addressing discrimination, polarisation, vulnerable communities and social exclusion.

What can we bring to an Erasmus+ consortium?

• Non-formal education, training and workshops
• Human rights and active citizenship expertise
• Inclusion, anti-discrimination and social cohesion activities
• Community engagement and volunteer mobilisation in Türkiye
• Research, surveys, needs analysis and focus groups
• Engagement with vulnerable and underrepresented groups
• Local pilot activities and multiplier/community events
• Stakeholder and civil society networking
• Digital communication, storytelling and awareness campaigns
• Dissemination, publications and audiovisual content
• Psychosocial and trauma-sensitive perspectives
• Culture and arts-based approaches to dialogue and inclusion

We also bring substantial digital dissemination capacity. In 2025, Vicdan Foundation published 102 videos and 174 original blog contents, while its YouTube activities generated more than 63,000 views.

We are particularly interested in cooperation related to:

Human Rights & European Values | Inclusion & Diversity | Active Citizenship & Democratic Participation | Adult Education & Lifelong Learning | Anti-discrimination | Intercultural Dialogue | Migrant and Refugee Inclusion | Gender Equality | Youth Participation | Psychosocial Wellbeing | Digital Citizenship | Media Literacy | Social Cohesion | Peacebuilding | Volunteering | Culture & Arts

We are open to discussing Erasmus+ Cooperation Partnerships, Small-scale Partnerships, mobility-based cooperation and other relevant European initiatives in which our expertise and community network can provide meaningful added value.

We are not looking to be only a formal name in a consortium. We are interested in partnerships where we can actively contribute to project development, implementation, research, piloting, community engagement, dissemination and sustainability.

If you are currently developing an Erasmus+ proposal and looking for a reliable civil society partner from Türkiye, we would be pleased to hear about your project idea and explore how Vicdan Foundation can contribute.
