2012 - ongoing, Alternative educational project

Initiated by Öğüt as an alternative educational platform the project proposes strategies of empowerment for people who may not perform their profession or utilise their expertise because of their status as migrants or refugees in the countries they currently reside in. Silent University was initially activated in London and branches are being established in Stockholm and Paris. The 1st International Conference of the Silent University with lectures by the project’s participants will be held at Berliner Herbstsalon.
