**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)** 

**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 co-create 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.
