62 countries and either publishing these interviews in newspapers or broadcasting them on TV: Newspapers and TV were preferred to reach large numbers of people. Each team member drew a “power map” and identified the people who can be interested in this issue and the people who can be target of group’s action. Then according to their potentials and capabilities, each member identified the action that he/she individually can take. We called our team “Prejudice Busters”. The resulting project was; to make interviews with war veterans and people who were from the “exchanged populations” and to publish them. Here the aim was not informing people about history or events; rather the aim was to make people aware about the veterans and exchanged populations, the experiences and the feelings of these people. We wanted people of both countries to understand that they were not the enemies who were forced to leave Greece and Turkey; that they were human beings with feelings; that they suffered from the exchange and that they still missed their native lands. The aim was to show the effects of exchange on people and to show that the experiences were similar in both countries. TEAM II: PREJUDICE/STEREOTYPES ........................................................................................................... by Çiğdem Kotil We were five people who wanted to work on the issue of prejudice and stereotypes. We formed a team and Jason Becker coached us in this work. First we discussed what “prejudice” was as a concept and then we listed down prejudices about people of Greece and Turkey. In order to turn this list into a do-able project, we limited our goals to working with college students only. Afterwards, our coach helped us create an action plan with his questions. Our concrete plan was to choose universities in towns near the border: Edirne and Thessaloniki. Some of the residents of these towns used to live across the border. We planned to invite 50 students from social sciences departments to a summer school to take place in Edirne and Thessaloniki. To realize this goal, we decided to contact professors in these departments, student clubs, municipalities, local people and the local media: With their cooperation it would be possible to realize this project. To help students and professors meet and talk about the project, we decided to organize a dinner. Students coming to the summer school would be lodged at the grandparents of the students who would go the summer school across the border. This arrangement would put young people with their peers at the summer school and also put them in touch with the older generation from whom they could learn how things used to be in the older days. This way young people will work on issue of prejudice and stereotypes in the summer school with the new perspective and they will learn from the elders – a perspective very different from the nationalistic discourse. TEAM III: MEDIA .............................................................................................................. by Gülin Pasin We were five people who wanted to work on the negative role media has played in Greek-Turkish relations. We formed a team and Serdar M. Değirmencioğlu coached us in this work. It’s a well-known fact that the media is one of the most important tools nowadays to have a real influence on people. We have observed the positive, negative, constructive or destructives influences of the media on Turkish-Greek relations over the years. Our group decided to create a pressure group on media with the aim to improve the relations between Greece and Turkey. During the workshop, we made an analysis of all the institutions, agencies and individuals that we can influence through media and we decided our project duration as one month. Our working group composed of five youngsters decided to select the most efficient method that will lead us to a meaningful change in a month time. We classified different newspapers addressing to different segments of the society and we selected three newspapers addressing low income class and educationally disadvantaged areas as our target group. Our objective is closely monitoring the news published or to be published in these papers with the aim to examine whether the news include expressions promoting racism, nationalism, prejudices and to carry out various activities so as to have more constructive papers. Our concrete action plan is as follows: Arrange meetings with the chief-editors of newspapers to discuss regarding the articles published in the papers, to question the reality of the published articles and to receive their support for Turkish-Greek friendship Rebuilding Communication Association des Etats Généraux des Etudiants de L’Europe
Bearing in mind the influence of external relations journalists and correspondents on the public opinion, contacting journalists to publish articles promoting peace and constructive dialogue as well as giving more coverage for articles on cultural issues. Contacting the representation offices of Turkish newspapers in Greece and vice versa for cooperation and exchange of information regarding Turkish-Greek Civic Dialogue. Contacting all associations, foundations and organisations supporting rapprochement in Greek-Turkish relations, arranging more coverage in the media for the activities of such organisations and to reward them with prizes. Condemning the anti-propaganda organisations through media.
