Vision & Mission
Vision
Grounded in the deep continuity of Turkish cultural and intellectual traditions, the Center envisions a future in which this heritage is not only preserved, but activated as a source of global insight, artistic innovation, and ethical reflection.
By fostering cross-cultural dialogue and renewing engagement with literary, spiritual, and philosophical texts, the Center aims to reposition Turkish culture as a living, generative tradition—capable of informing some of the most pressing questions of our time.
Mission
The Center is committed to advancing the study, understanding, and creative expression of Turkish cultural heritage through a combination of scholarly research, translation, education, and public programming.
Its mission is shaped by a dedication to literary and philosophical inquiry, the history of women's intellectual contributions, and the interpretive richness of Sufi thought. Through collaborative projects, archival recovery, and multilingual dissemination, the Center seeks to make Turkish culture more visible within global conversations about belonging, meaning, and the modern condition.
