Our Projects - Society - British Council



	We work on projects and initiatives throughout the year in Turkey, to strengthen good governance and increase opportunities for disadvantaged groups in our region.

Governance

	Our projects in Turkey

We work towards achieving our objectives through the design and implementation of various projects in which we work in partnerships with both government institutions, civil society organisations and universities.

Partnerships are crucial for us and we would like to operate on that basis in the future as well.

BOSPHORUS CONFERENCE

The annual Bosphorus Conference aims to discuss issues relevant to Turkey’s EU accession in a frank and off-the-record platform with the participation of high-level politicians, academics, think tank members, media professionals, bureaucrats, businesspeople and NGO representatives both from Turkey and Europe.

INDEPENDENT COMMISSION ON TURKEY

This project aims to support the new report of the The Independent Commission on Turkey (ICT) . ICT was established with the support of the Open Society Foundation and the British Council in order to examine arguments and to explore the potential benefits and challenges of Turkey’s membership to the EU.

INTERNATIONAL INSPIRATION

International Inspiration is an international legacy project of the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games.

OUR SHARED EUROPE

Our Shared Europe project is the British Council’s response to one of the major cultural challenges facing our continent today - the growing mutual mistrust between Muslim communities and wider European society.

SOCIAL ENTREPRENUERSHIP

British Council’s regional Social Entrepreneurship project aims to develop new relationships and partnerships with the UK to address social, economic and environmental challenges through social entrepreneurship and social enterprises.

PAST PROJECTS

We have been working on Society projects with various partners since 1998.
