The Hrant Dink Foundation launches the Türkiye-Armenia Travel Grant with a view to increase direct contacts and to promote cooperation between the peoples of the two neighbouring countries.

The Hrant Dink Foundation awarded 650 individuals from Armenia and Turkey to travel to the neighbouring country since April 2014. While the majority of the travels were supported with the financial contribution of the European Union, between July 2015 and September 2015, Türkiye-Armenia Travel Grant supported the travels of 26 individuals with the joint financial assistance of the British Embassy Ankara and the British Embassy Yerevan. Türkiye-Armenia Travel Grant continues thanks to the European Union within the framework of Support to the Armenia-Türkiye Normalisation Program starting from April 2026.

The Hrant Dink Foundation also supported at least 150 individuals and non-profit civic initiatives from Armenia and Türkiye, thanks to the financial assistance of the UK Government’s Conflict, Stability and Security Fund between October 2017 and March 2019, to travel to the neighbouring country for their activities and studies in various thematic fields, by covering their international travel and inter-city transportation travel costs.

Türkiye-Armenia Travel Grant was designed as a pool to encourage non-profit civic initiatives and individuals including youth, university students, university clubs, civil society organisations, professional organisations, local youth initiatives, high school students and teachers, academics and researchers, journalists, sports clubs, businesses and local authorities, to travel to the neighbouring country for specific goals. Through the Travel Grant, the Foundation aims to contribute to joint initiatives between the two countries in various thematic fields such as youth and volunteering, human rights and democracy, education, environment, history, culture and arts, development, sports, regional cooperation and European integration.

The Travel Grant will support various activities such as partnership building and networking, feasibility visits, cross-border cooperation projects, project preparation meetings, exchange programmes, education and language-learning, academic cooperation, research and dissertation, volunteering in civil society organisations, joint productions in culture and arts, organisation of or participation in meetings, panels, seminars, conferences, workshops, exhibitions, concerts and similar events related to the above-mentioned thematic fields.
