Our principal objectives are the promotion of exchange and cooperation in order to carry out an intercultural understanding to strengthen as well as above all the cultural dialogue between Turkey and the other countries. Under these circumstances we are supporting initiatives of our members that express the cultural diversity within societies.

The basic research and work of the association focuses on collaboration in old and new media, technology, and theory with an emphasis on social contexts.

The association emphasis professionals working in different creative disciplines (e.g. media-creatives, satirists, visual artists, writers and film-makers); they are brought together in order to develop and open on an international level sources for the realisation of cultural works, projects and activities.
