JOIN US IN PROMOTING BETTER EDUCATION

OPPORTUNITIES FOR REFUGEES

Today, an unprecedented tragedy is taking place in front of us as the struggles of refugees is becoming a growing problem that we face not only in our region but as a global community. We feel that as the global academic community, it is our responsibility too, to step up and take initiative towards a solution. As EURIE, we ask all of you to help us in promoting a chance for refugees to receive quality higher education. We believe education is the only way forward to solve the problem and give the next generations a fair chance. We need to create projects and initiatives to tackle all kinds of barriers by offering support to facilitate and widen refugee’s access to higher education. Before you do leave EURIE, would you please make sure you stop by the EURAS Lounge and sign the petition to raise awareness for promoting higher education opportunities for refugees. We have to start creating a voice for the problem and let this voice be heard by everyone involved. Only then we will be able to contribute in saving a generation who will otherwise be lost.

reachable by Metro. Sabiha Gökçen Airport (SAW in Pendik/Kurtköy) is 30 km

or about 70 km by highway. For EURIE participants, it is advisable to travel to

Atatürk International Airport www.ataturkairport.com

Sabiha Gökçen Airport www.sabihagokcen.aero /homepage

Around the venue: Haliç District

The Haliç Congress Center is easily accessible from anywhere in the city via

the E-5 and TEM Highways. Thanks to two recently built tunnels, the Haliç

Congress Center is now within a short 10-minute drive from the downtown


58

hotel and shopping districts without getting bogged down in Istanbul’s street

traffic.

Known as the Golden Horn, Haliç, forms the natural harbor and peninsula known

as ‘Old Istanbul’ that served as the main harbor and shipyards of Byzantium,

Constantinople and Istanbul over the millennia. Haliç was a colorful ethnic

mosaic, a cornucopia of cultures, religions and traditions. Dubbed Sadabad,

which means ‘Blissful Place,’ the Haliç was a favorite retreat for the Ottoman

state elite with its mansions and large tulip gardens during the 18th century.

Haliç in the 19th century symbolized the industrialization of Istanbul. Today the

area is revitalized with university campuses, museums, convention centers,

parks and recreational areas.

The Haliç district includes Fener and Balat, old-style neighborhoods with

traditional wooden houses, Byzantine-era churches and old synagogues, where

the Greek Orthodox Patriarch also resides. Eyüp is another historic district

which features the holiest Islamic shrine in the city. Overlooking the shrine, the

tranquil Pierre Loti Hill is the perfect place to enjoy a commanding view of the

Haliç. Other attractions in the immediate area include Istanbul’s first miniature

park, ‘Miniaturk`, and the Rahmi M. Koç Industrial Museum.
