Our studio and newsroom are free of charge for journalists

Botan International, in partnership with Reporters Without Borders (RSF), prepared a sound recording studio and Newsroom in Diyarbakir. Journalists living in Diyarbakir, or those who go to Diyarbakir to produce news, use the studio and newsroom free of charge.

The mother tongue of about 25 percent of Turkey’s citizens is Kurdish, but education in their language is forbidden. It is not forbidden to organize workshops. Botan International is the first and only Kurdish media education institution in the history of Turkey. The organization provides Kurdish Digital Media education through workshops and seminars.

135 people applied to the last workshop organized by Botan International for 15 people. We received hundreds of thank you messages for our partnership with RSF.
