FLYING LIBRARY (UÇAN KÜTÜPHANE)
Flying Library is a project jointly implemented by the Sultanbeyli Municipality, Refugees Association (Mülteciler Derneği), Yuva Association and the German Cultural Center Goethe-Institut, that has brought a mobile library to Istanbul's Sultanbeyli district, which has a high-concentration of Syrian population. With the help of the Sultanbeyli Municipality, organizers hope the library would act as a meeting point for Turkish and Syrian children, where they can interact through different educational and social events like music, art, theater, circus, cinema, sports and games.

The project launched its first library in the Turkey's southern province of Mardin and aims to create a supportive environment for underprivileged Syrian children, who can only go to school rarely if at all, as well as Turkish children and to teach them how to live in harmony. A group of trainers and volunteers are offering education to children at the library five days a week.
