2005, in the historical Imperial Mint complex (History Foundation of

The forum's objective is to raise awareness of the important role of 
culture in Turkey-Europe relations. It further aims at influencing 
decision-makers to take concrete steps towards intensifying 
cooperation and exchange.

The international forum will consist of a conference, panel 
discussions, artistic events, receptions and parties and will thus 
facilitate networking and support stakeholders of the cultural sector 
in their efforts towards effective and fruitful dialogue between the 
peoples. It therefore serves as an open platform to welcome cultural 
stakeholders from Europe and the Mediterranean region.
