In the second term of VAHA, local events have started with 10 new hub programmes with a total of 23 participating institutions from 11 different cities. 

The hubs formed by independent cultural and artistic organisations in Turkey will initially implement their local cultural and artistic activities. Later on, they will have the chance to establish partnerships with selected institutions through another open call for Europe and neighbouring regions in Spring 2024, enabling them to visit each other, participate in each other’s activities, or collaborate on joint cultural programming.
