Place

Sinop, Turkey

Sinop is situated on the most northern edge of the Turkish side of the Black Sea coast. It is also the capital of the Sinop Region.

Every day there is a flight between Istanbul and Sinop and it takes 1 and a half hour. Istanbul is 12 hours away by bus and Ankara is 6 hours away by bus.

The history of Sinop dates back to the 12.000 B.C. It has served as an important sea port for the civilizations throughout the history. Sinop is now the home of a wide colony of fisher boats, a university, 39.000 inhabitants and the Biennial, sailing competitions, climbing excursions in Tatlıca Waterfalls, cynic philosopher Diogenes, ancient prison, walls of Sinop and volcanic and historic remnants are the distinctive cultural features of Sinop.

Tasks of the volunteers:

Sinop organisation was established as an NGO in Sinop to develop and implement economic, social and cultural strategies of Sinop, which has a vision of being cultural and educational tourism town.

In May 2014, the stakeholders of Sinopale – The International Sinop Biennial which has been performing since 2006 established Sinop Surdurulebilir Kalkinma Dernegi to stimulate the cultural synergy to the way to the social and economic development of the town.

The Hal Building, where the center of our association is located is being transfered into a platform where social, cultural, economical services and products will be developed. With the support of the Municipality of Sinop and the collaboration of the Association of European Culture, Chameleon Project Management & Design, The Innovative Industrial Research Center of Mimar Sinan Fine Arts University and the Association of Street is Ours, Sinop Surdurulebilir Kalkinma Dernegi will coordinate and bring the Hal Meeting Center project to life.

With the Hal Meeting Center, Sinop Surdurulebilir Kalkinma Dernegi aims to develop projects in order to support social and cultural entrepreneurship and encourage active citizenship with the collaboration of NGOs, public institutions and private sectors. Sinop Surdurulebilir Kalkinma Dernegi has two offices both in Sinop, where the main office is, and in Istanbul. The staff in these offices work together in coordination.

Sinop Surdurulebilir Kalkinma Dernegi has experienced staff of Sinopale – the Sinop Biennial, which was supported by the
Association of European Culture until 2014 for 10 years. Since 2014, Sinop Surdurulebilir Kalkinma Dernegi has been conducting Sinopale with its experienced staff. Sinopale, International Sinop Biennial is the title of an international project that, in the context of local development, draws the civil society together with the purpose of building a dialogue through culture and arts, within the framework of the “artistic production based on sharing” model.
