Sireita Mullings - University of London Goldsmiths College

Having visited the county where many of my fellow citizens originate has provided better insight to respective cultures, histories and social stratifications which strengthens my view that irrespective of cultural or ethnic origin we face very similar problems often within very different contexts. Potential future collaboration:

P1: University collaboration where sociology departments employ visual ethnographic methods to document the role of organizations working with vulnerable and marginalized groups in the UK and Turkey. This type of ethnography will also serve as historical documentation of aspects of life in the current era.

P2: An exchange that focuses on strategies used for successful models of youth social enterprise. Young people and facilitators from respective countries share how to learn new ways and share existing methods of how to become active participants in their economic sustainability.
