**Summary of the objects of the charity set out in its governing document** 

**Summary of the main activities undertaken for the public benefit in relation to these objects (include within this section the statutory declaration that trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit)** 

As stated in its Constitution, the primary object of the charity is to promote advancement of human rights, social and cultural rights in Turkey. 

**The CDPR activities between the period of 02/09/2020 - 01/09/2021:** 

**1. Izmir Centre for Right for City Project funded by Open Society  between  15 September  2020 and 01 November 2022:** 

The purpose of the project is to establish a human rights centre (Izmir Centre for Right to the City) in town of Izmir to  address  crucial  issues  faced  by  the  residents,  to empower  citizens  to  confront  issues  such  as  access  to justice, city infrastructure, food and care. The project also aims to provide a public legal education platform that will strengthen the collective rights of citizens. 

The overall objective of the project is to promote human rights and support active participation of citizens faced with  socio-economic  challenges  and  the  shrinking  of democratic space in Turkey. By empowering local communities and actors in Izmir, the project aims to reach out to citizens who lack access to basic economic, social and cultural rights in the city. Bringing together academics,  lawyers  and  local  citizens,  the  Centre  for Right to the City has constituted a dynamic platform to rethink urban issues and develop original and sustainable community solutions. The project addresses to develop a transformative approach to citizens’ rights, which empowers  local  communities  to  enhance  their  urban integration and resilience and access to information and rights. Rooted in Karşıyaka, a socially mixed district of Izmir, the program has been combined fieldwork, research, training and local experimentation to offer an alternative to the traditional top-down approach to urban governance. 

Two central ways of reaching the aims of the project has been the establishment of the Education  and advocacy unit  and  the  Research  and  Community  solutions  unit. These two units have aimed to give tools to citizens to cocreate valuable outcomes  for themselves, their families and neighbourhoods. The Research and Community solutions  unit  has  analysed  the  issues  and  promote citizens’ initiatives, while the Education and advocacy unit has  focused  on  public  legal  education  and  outreach activities. 

During the first month the centre has been established. This first stage has covered the choice of a workspace, the

equipment of the office, as well as the recruitment of the staff and consultants. After the establishment of the units, tasks and  responsibilities  has been distributed  and the schedule and modalities of the planned activities has been discussed. The second month of the project has focused on the training of the staff. After the first two months, centre has been ready to reach out to communities. For the trainings we have benefited from the support of both Law for Life and University of Essex, which have participated in the project as associates. 

Community meetings have allowed the Centre to adopt a bottom-up approach, avoiding pre-conceived notions and giving  much  space  to  the  guidance  of  the  locals.  The project team has reached out to the communities in order to understand in detail and analyse their needs for various kinds of legal education, as well as the main urban issues on the ground. 

The activities of the units have been: 

Education and advocacy unit (EA Unit): Mainly consisting of  lawyers,  scholars  and  CSOs  members,  this  unit  has produced  and  disseminated  knowledge  and  resources about right to the city and tools to enforce them. To this aim the education and advocacy unit has: 

- Produced and disseminate accessible Public Legal Education material in online and printed forms in Turkish and other relevant languages 

- Organised information sessions on the ground to reach out to the most disadvantaged citizens and inform them on their rights 

- Organised training sessions for the municipality staff and CSOs, in close collaboration with the Municipality 

- Conducted advocacy to raise policy makers’ awareness about the targeted rights and encourage citizens to take an active part in the development of solutions to these urban issues. 

Research and Community solutions unit (RCS Unit): The unit has been an interdisciplinary hub, reaching out to data scientists, urban sociologists, anthropologists, legal scholars, architects  and urban designers. Research has focused on fundamental social issues related to the right to the city, such as housing, food and education. This unit has also worked in hands with the local community  to develop  original  and  sustainable  solutions  to  the  most urgent issues faced by the local public. The RCS unit has: 

-  Established  the  scope  and  method  of  fieldwork  and needs assessment and supervise the collect of data on the

## ground 

- Analysed data collected on the ground and other sources available on the socio-economic fabric of the city. 

- Developed printed and online resources (memos, articles) that will contribute to the work of the education unit  and  become  resources  for  municipal  institutions, academics and NGOs 

- Participated in and/or initiate collaborations and networks with research institutions and CSOs. about the right to the city at the national and international levels 

-  Monitored the outcomes and impact  of the local initiatives supported by the community solutions unit 

-  Created  a  network  of  local  actors  through  regular contacts and meetings 

- Developed strategies and solutions to address the issues faced by the local population, in collaboration with local actors, taking into account experiences developed in other settings. 

-  Developed  participatory  decision-making  processes  to give a central role to the needs, aspirations and agency of local citizens 

- Provided logistical and financial support to community initiatives such  as cooperatives,  community shelters, gardens or kitchen. 

- Liaised with other initiatives in Turkey and abroad for knowledge  and  experience  sharing  and  ensuring  the sustainability and diffusion of the community solutions 

Thus, the centre has been a hub of these two units. On the one  side,  legal  solutions  and  PLE  materials  has  been developed  and  disseminated  to  the  community.  These materials have been also adapted to wider campaigns to empower citizens nationwide, through dedicated reference  web  page,  flyers,  podcasts,  videocasts  and various other means of communication. On the other side, urban solutions and relevant materials have been developed  and  discussed  with  the  communities  to  be implemented. This process has been recorded to produce nationwide transferable material for all communities and municipalities. 

**2.  Encyclopaedia  Project  funded  by  the  Consulate General of Sweden in Istanbul (between 01 October 2020  to  31  January  2021)  -  funded  by  European Endowment  for  Democracy  (between  01  January 2021 and 01 January 2023):** 

The Encyclopaedia project aims to produce an accessible

reliable source on Turkey’s modern history and society by offering an up-to-date, comprehensive and independent source of information. Involving independent academics, solidarity academies and CSOs, the project propose to support  critical  knowledge  production  and  establish  a bridge  between  academics  and  the  broader  society. Inspired by the BBC 4 “A History of the World in 100 Objects” program, its main outcome has been an online, accessible encyclopaedia of Turkey with an interactive website and application. The encyclopaedia contents and format have been shaped through a public campaign and meetings with relevant CSOs and solidarity academies. Short  texts,  podcasts  and  videos  have  explored  100 objects as entries to significant political, social, economic and cultural transformations and processes witnessed by Turkey in the last centuries. 

The activities have included preparatory meetings with young people, solidarity academies and CSOs to discuss the  format  and  contents  and  select  the  editors.  Each editor has coordinated a pool of contributors, who have been  author  the  contents  of  the  encyclopaedia.  The creation  of  an  accessible,  interactive  website  and  a mobile  application  have  also  started  during  the  first phase.  The  content  has  been  uploaded  progressively during the second phase. Dissemination activities involving  CSOs,  students,  teachers  and  municipalities have publicized the initiative. Academics and high school/university students in Turkey have been the main beneficiaries but the encyclopaedia has also addressed a broader public. 

The main objectives have been: 

- fostering independent knowledge production in Turkey, by providing a network, a platform and a modest financial contribution to the authors. By the end of the project, up to 100 authors will be contributing to the Encyclopaedia website.  Editors  and  authors  have  been  selected  in priority among academics who were/are subject to political repression for their commitment to free speech, peace and democracy. The themes chosen for the project reflect both research clusters among the dismissed/persecuted academics and areas where funding is scarce such as art or environment. 

-  offering  a  reference  source  for  high  school  and university students and researchers working in and/or on Turkey. The Encyclopaedia aims to get 1000 academic citations  by  the  end  of  the  project  and  to  have  the Encyclopaedia recommended as a source in universities and high schools. 

- offering a source of knowledge in Turkey to a broader public  across the country.  The website has  aimed 100 visitors a  day  by  the end  of  the  project  and  the application 10 000 users

-  fostering  new  collaborations  between  Turkish  and international scholars, solidarities academies and CSOs. At least 10 workshops and meetings have been organised by the end of the project, gathering scholars and CSOs to present the contents of the encyclopaedia. 

The main activities have been: 

-  the  preparation  of  the  contents  (writing  of  articles, coordination meetings, audio-video contents, updates on website and social media) 

-  development  of  the  digital  platforms  (uploading  first written and visual contents on website, preparation and launching of the app). 

- opening a social media account to communicate on the different stages of the project 

-  launching  a  campaign  through  social  media  and  the website to invite the public to pick up significant objects to explore changes and continuities witnessed by Turkey in the last century. 

- organising face-to-face and online meetings with young people, academics and relevant CSOs (such as solidarity academies,  Tarih  Vakfı,  Hafıza  Merkezi,  Hrant  Dink Foundation)  to  discuss  the  results  of  the  campaign, design the structure of the Encyclopaedia around a few main themes and appoint a team of editors 

-  commissioning the  Encyclopaedia  contents  to  100 academic  experts  in  their  field,  prioritizing  dismissed academics and independent scholars. 

-  producing  short  podcasts  and  videos  to  support  the written contents 

- uploading the contents to the project website 

- designing an application to disseminate the Encyclopaedia content among a broader public 

- organising a campaign and 5 public events to disseminate and discuss the contents of the Encyclopaedia with students, CSOs and municipalities
