At the Heart of Creativity: City and Culture Network Gathering

(The event will be held in only Turkish.)

At the Heart of Creativity: City and Culture Network Gathering is an invitation to meet at the very center of creativity on the shore of all possibilities — to get to know each other more closely and from different perspectives, and to discover new possibilities. It is a space where those standing on the edge and those coming from the center meet in the same room, where different experiences intersect, and similar ideas cross paths. By coming together at this event, we will explore ways in which boundary-pushing ideas around cities, culture, and creativity collide, enabling co-creation and entirely new collaborations.

Facilitated by Culture Unleashed, the event will follow a structured format designed to help participants meet, (net)work, explore collaboration opportunities, and build connections between cities, culture, and creativity. Through Introduction, Dialogue, and Collaboration sessions, participants will first get to know each other from different perspectives, then engage in meaningful conversations, and finally discover areas to continue and expand these dialogues after the event.

We welcome local governments, businesses, independent individuals and organizations, media, and academia — anyone eager to network and co-think within the fields of cities, culture, and creativity. 

Participation is limited, and institutional attendance is restricted to one representative per organization. To join the event, participants must fill out the registration form and also register for the event through the MARUF website.
