The mission of Bozyazı Culture Art And Music Association is to provide high quality visual and performing arts, literature and all lingual written fine art lectures. We aim to encourage youngsters for art education programs, and adults and children, too. We deal with all the people beginning from 3 years old to any ages, especially from vulnerable groups. It is necessary for us to explain that, our association has been struggling in local and European levels against any kind of totalitarianizm, anti-democratic applications and against any discriminations preventing people, especially people in vulnerable groups, from participating into the daily democratic life, social environment and labor markets. We know how important democracy, labor, togetherness of education and arts must go hand in hand for achieving our struggle. As the directors and members of our association, we try our best to explain people the importance of arts and its integration to all the spheres of our lives to acquire the real prosperity and democratization in all societies. We took part in a few KA-210, ka-220, ka-205 & ka-204 projects with our 18 NGO partners from Europe and our local authorities.
