The Duke Of Edinburgh’s International Award Programme is administered more than 16 years in Turkey institutionally. As of the end of 2019, the number of participants that the Award reached has exceeded 17,000. We would like to thank all of our volunteers who contributed to the deliver the Award. In 2019, we signed Sub-Licenses with 26 new Award Centres. Since the total number of the Award Centres which signed the Sub-License Agreement is 124, this means that it was a successful year. During the same period, 86 Award Leaders and 86 Supervisors received trainings. While there were 284 active Award Leaders and 165 Supervisors in the Programme at the end of 2018, we have 370 active Award Leaders and 251 active Supervisors as of December 2019. Although the number of volunteers increased significantly, the number of participants did not increase at the same rate unfortunately. I think that we should brainstorm with the National Committee, the National Office, Award Centres, Award 5 National Committee President’s Message Coordinators, Award Leaders and Supervisors about the causes of this and we should definitely find a way to deliver the Award Programme to more young people. I believe that we will succeed in this with the support of our valuable volunteers. We owe gratitude to AKFEN Holding and it’s Chairman, Honourable Hamdi AKIN and through himself the AKIN Family supporting and becoming the main sponsor of the The Duke of Edinburgh’s International Award Programme - Türkiye, from the first day until it became a fruitful tree in Türkiye. We would like to thank our Award Coordinators and valuable managers of our Award Centres and who opened their units to the Award Programme. We are very fortunate to have such precious Award Leaders and Supervisors who play a significant role in delivering the Award to young people. God bless you all. I would like to end my words with a call to all adults who open their can hearts to volunteering: YOUNG PEOPLE ARE WAITING FOR YOUR SERVICE, TIME TO SERVE THEM. With love and respect, Sultan Yılmaz TİKAV Board President The Duke of Edinburgh’s International Award-Türkiye National Committee President 6 With the Award, I pushed my limits, I discovered myself and I didn’t stop working. Now when I look back, I can say “I did it!” and I always believe that I can do much more. I would like to thank my school who introduced me to the Award Programme, my Award Leader and my Supervisor who supported me in the process of this journey about myself. Nazire ATA - Silver Category 7 About the Award The Duke of Edinburgh’s International Award, or in Turkish ‘Edinburgh Dükü Uluslararası Ödül Programı’ is the world’s leading youth achievement programme that every young person between the ages of 14-24 can take part in. The Duke of Edinburgh’s International Award Foundation was founded in 1956; its aim is to equip young people for life and to allow them to create positive change in their communities through gaining valuable life-changing skills. The main goal of The Duke of Edinburgh’s International Award Foundation is to provide the right conditions in order to ensure that every young person between the ages of 14-24 around the world has the opportunity to take part in the programme. The Licence Agreement that was signed between The Duke of Edinburgh’s International Award Foundation and TİKAV in 2013 has allowed the programme to be represented and delivered by TİKAV under the name The Duke of Edinburgh’s International Award-Türkiye. TİKAV (www.tikav.org.tr), is the only authorized organisation that can promote, deliver, audit and certify The Award across Turkey; The Duke of Edinburgh’s International Award Office is within TİKAV the headquarters. 8 The History of the Award 1956 The Award was founded in 1956 by The Duke of Edinburgh Prince Philip and started being delivered as ‘The Duke of Edinburgh’s Award’. 1995 The Award was introduced to Turkey in 1995; it was delivered by the Turkish- English Friendship Association and schools. 2001 The Ministry of Education officially approved the delivery of the Award in high schools across 7 pilot cities and to TİKAV scholars. Within this time, the validation and certification of the delivery of the Award was under the responsibility of the International Award Foundation. 2013 Since the 1st of June 2013, the Award has been delivered by The Duke of Edinburgh’s International Award – Türkiye, which is represented by TİKAV. 9 13 Our Mission, Vision and Goals Our Vision To increase the individual and societal values of young people living in our country through providing access for them to participate in and complete the Award. Our Mission To provide the right conditions for delivering The Award Programme, to promote the Award and to preserve its quality nationwide. Our Goal is to make the Award available to all 14-24 year olds in Turkey. Turkey’s Goal for 2020 is to increase the number of participants to 3500. To increase the Award completion rate in line with the new entrants. 10 Guiding Principles Individual Individuals design their own Programme, which can be tailored to suit their personal circumstances, choices and local provision. They start at whichever level suits them best and they can take as long as they wish (within the age limit) to achieve their Award. Non - Competitive Doing their Award is a personal challenge and not a competition against others. Every participant’s programme is tailor-made to reflect their individual starting point, abilities and interests. Achievable The Award is achievable by any individual who chooses to take up the challenge, regardless of ability, gender, background or location, with the right guidance and inspiration. Voluntary Whilst the Award may be offered within school, college, work time, custody or extra-curricular activity, individuals choose to do a programme and a must commit some of their free time to undertake their activities. 11 Guiding Principles Developmental Participating in the Award Programme, fosters personal and social development. Individuals gain valuable experiences and life skills, grow in confidence and become more aware of their environment and community which transform them in to responsible young adults. Balanced The Award provides a balanced framework to develop the individual’s mind, body and community spirit by engaging them in range of activities in up to five different challenges. Progressive At each level of engagement, the Award demands progressively more time, commitment and responsibility from the participant. Inspirational The Award inspires individulas to exceed their expectations. They are encouraged to set their own challenges and goals before starting an activity, aim for these goals and by showing improvement will achieve an the Award. Persistance The Award requires and cannot be completed with a short burst of enthusiasm. Participants are encouraged to continue with activities and to maintain their interest beyond their programme requirements. Enjoyable Participants and Award Leaders should find the Award enjoyable, fulfilling and rewarding. 12 Our Strategy 3 Year Strategy Access Increasing the number of new Award entrants, particularly those from at risk or marginalised communities.

  • 1 Hey Phoebe, You Once Said You Wanted to Read the Stuff I Write in The
    Hey Phoebe, You once said you wanted to read the stuff I write in the future. I think this is one of them. Or at least this is the sharing of my knowledge. I can only hope this helps you understand Istanbul a bit better. Welcome to Istanbul and happy birthday! All the sites and important things in this guide are capitalized. I have italicized the fun and interesting stuff. The guide is in separated into walks, because finding an exact address in Istanbul is really hard. You can only rely on other people giving you directions "go go go, take a left, take a second right etc.", so maybe this will be an authentic experience. The recommendations seem a lot but the walks will not take that long. If you are flying with Turkish Airlines that's great because they have good service. They are a private company, but they are also aligned with the government as a public image- they once sacrificed camels in front of a plane for a religious holiday and took a photo of it. For PR? Probably. But they have free alcohol! With entertainment! Like movies, which are edited in time and aspect ratio and content, and unedited music! They even have Wi-Fi on certain flights, so you can do whatever you want! I was thinking that you would read this tour guide in between your unintentional naps. They come in unexpected times, and it is very easy to give in. Anyhow. Apart from the ceremonial applauding of the pilot that only Turks and Italians share, the music they put on when you land used to be this welcoming music from this band İncesaz (check the playlist, I couldn't find the actual song so I opted out for a typical one.

This thesis has been approved and accepted by: Assoc. Prof. Duygu Köksal Prof. Şevket Pamuk Prof. Zafer Toprak ii An Abstract of the Thesis of Binnaz Tu ğba Sasanlar for the degree of Master of Arts in the Atatürk Institute for Modern Turkish History to be taken August 2006. Title: A HISTORICAL PANORAMA OF AN ISTANBUL NEIGHBORHOOD: CIHANGIR FROM THE LATE NINETEENTH CENTURY TO THE 2000s This study can be seen as a contribution to the history of a cosmopolitan Istanbul neighborhood, Cihangir, where Greeks, Armenians, Jews, Levantines, Turks, and other Muslim and non-Muslim inhabitants lived in harmony for centuries. Based on oral history narratives by older and new inhabitants of the neighborhood as well as primary sources identified by the author, the present study aims to shed light on its cosmopolitan fabric and the changes it has undergone throughout the republican history of Turkey. It reflects its author’s perspective which situates the story of Cihangir within the framework of the story of the decline of cosmopolitan Istanbul due to the Turkification policies of the nationalist state.

  • Physical Culture in the Late Nineteenth Century and the Greek Philological Society of Constantinople Followed Suit in the Early Twentieth Century
    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Strengthening Male Bodies and Building Robust Communities: Physical Culture in the Late Ottoman Empire A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in History by Murat Cihan Yıldız 2015 © Copyright by Murat Cihan Yıldız 2015 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Strengthening Male Bodies and Building Robust Communities: Physical Culture in the Late Ottoman Empire by Murat Cihan Yıldız Doctor of Philosophy in History University of California, Los Angeles, 2015 Professor James L. Gelvin, Chair This dissertation examines the making of modernity in the late Ottoman Empire by tracing the connections between sports, the body, male subject formation, nation building, and communal and imperial identity. It focuses on the development of a shared Ottoman physical culture amongst upper and middle-class Muslim, Christian, and Jewish men of Istanbul from the 1870s until World War I. My research draws from a diverse array of archives and primary sources written in Ottoman-Turkish, Armenian, Armeno- Turkish, French, English, German, and Greek, such as government reports and documents, school and association records, private correspondence, periodicals, books, and pamphlets, as well as vernacular photographs, in order to present an alternative understanding of cultural transformations and the historical linkages between different ethno-religious communities of the late Ottoman Empire. The central argument of this ii dissertation is that Muslims, Christians, and Jews of Istanbul engaged sports as a shared civic activity that offered benefits for the individual, community, and empire. This study investigates how Ottoman physical culture was underpinned by novel understandings of the body and implicated in larger debates and processes concerning the self, gender, ethno-religious communal identity, and the nation by pursuing three principle areas of inquiry.

A certain French author says that Constantinople is twice as large as Paris. Mr. Wortley is unwilling to own it is bigger than London, though I con- fessitappearstometobeso,butIdon’tbelieveitissopopulous. —Lady Mary Wortley Montagu, The Turkish Embassy Letters 1 Lady Montagu, wife of the English ambassador, wrote these words to her women friends and relatives in England about their trip and her Ottoman friends in Edirne and Istanbul during 1717–18. She was in Istanbul during the Tulip Age (1718–1730), which witnessed a construction boom by Sultan Ahmed III (1703–1730) and his grand vizier and son-in-law, Nevşehirli Ibrahim Pasha (1718–1730). The sultan also demonstrated a great interest in all varieties of tulips and had them planted in gar- dens everywhere to beautify Istanbul. The Tulip Age (Lale Devri) is considered Is- tanbul’s first serious cultural opening up to the West that led to the growing estab- lishment in Pera of a Western European colony, particularly with an increasing population of women. LadyMontaguwasimpressedbythequalityoflifeintheEuropeancolonyof Pera, finding that part of the city more cosmopolitan and the whole city larger than Paris and London.2 The Europeans were traditionally confined to Galata and Pera, but some, like Lady Montagu and later Antoine-Ignace Melling, gained access to Ottoman society and intermingled with Ottoman women.
