Young Talents Project

Since its inception, the Young Talents Project has been shaped with the contributions of many distinguished figures who have influenced Turkey’s cultural and artistic life. Throughout different periods of the project, prominent names from literature, music, visual arts, theatre, and cinema have supported the project and contributed to its development with their insights. These names include Yaşar Kemal, Nuri Bilge Ceylan, Yıldız Kenter, Ara Güler, Cem Yılmaz, Fazıl Say, Jale Yılmabaşar, Ayşe Kulin, Fahir Atakoğlu, Tarkan, Sezen Aksu, Cihat Aşkın, and Genco Erkal.

The selection of students to be supported within the project is carried out based on the evaluations of expert individuals who take part as volunteers and serve on the Art Committee at different stages of the project, taking into account the opinions of conservatories operating both in Turkey and abroad.

To date, many highly talented students have received educational scholarships within the scope of the Young Talents Project; these students have continued their education with scholarships they have earned from prestigious universities abroad, along with the support of ÇEV. Through the achievements they have attained on national and international platforms, Young Talents have demonstrated their potential to become strong cultural and artistic ambassadors representing Turkey worldwide.

ÇEV considers the sustainable support of these young individuals’ long-term educational journeys as a major responsibility and aims to strengthen this process in cooperation with institutions and stakeholders that share the same vision.
