Empowering the Turkish–Kurdish Community Through Culture, Unity, and Learning

Based in London, we provide cultural, educational, and social programmes that help individuals and families connect with their heritage while building strong relationships within wider British society.
Our mission is to promote cultural understanding, lifelong learning, and community wellbeing through events, language courses, art workshops, youth engagement, and support initiatives.
We believe in nurturing solidarity, compassion, and mutual respect — planting the “tohum” (seed) of unity for future generations to thrive together in peace and equality.
