La chose principale que je voudrais faire prochainement dans ma vie professionnelle est de travailler dans le domaine des projets pour la jeunesse et en parallèle dans les médias, en les combinant pour une activité du succès. C'est vraiment mon rêve de commencer un projet dans mon pays qui consiste en la création d’un réseau fonctionnel d'information utile, une plate-forme pour les jeunes, qui apportera son soutien à faire entendre la voix de l'adolescent.

KADIOGLU Ayşe – Turkey Council of Europe – Group of Eminent Persons / Sabanci University - Professor

Council of Europe’s Group of Eminent Persons - In co-operation with the Turkish Chairmanship of the Committee of Ministers (November 2010 – May 2011), Thorbjørn Jagland has proposed to create a Group of Eminent Persons in order to prepare a report within the context of the the Pan-European project Living together in 21st century Europe to be submitted to the Committee of Ministers prior to Istanbul Ministerial of 11 May 2011. The “European model” with the values of democracy, human rights and the rule of law is today challenged because of the resurgence of intolerance and discrimination. Over the past few years all Council of Europe Member States have been affected by deteriorating social ties, radicalisation and increasing gaps between different communities within our societies. Tolerance, mutual respect and acceptance of diversity are preconditions to learn how to “live together”. The Group of Eminent Persons will help the Council of Europe, as guardian of the European Convention on Human Rights, to deal with new challenges for security and stability of European citizens. The group consists of 9 high-ranking individuals with a specific expertise and a particular interest in the subject. Joschka Fischer is the Chairman. Edward Mortimer will be the rapporteur responsible for preparing the draft report. The other members are: Timothy Garton Ash, Emma Bonino, Martin Hirsch, Danuta Hubner, Ayşe Kadıoğlu, Sonja Licht, Vladimir Lukin and Javier Solana Madariaga.

Ayşe Kadıoğlu is one of the 9 nine members of the CoE’s Group of Eminent Persons and she is also a professor of Political Science at Sabancı University, Istanbul. She became one of the 9 members of the Group of Eminent Persons of the Council of Europe upon the invitation of the General Secretary. The Group will prepare a report about living together in Europe in the 21st century by May 2011. Professor Kadioglu has spent the 2009-2010 academic year as the Sabancı Fellow at the University of Oxford. She holds a PhD in Political Science, Boston University (1990) and an MA in International Relations, The University of Chicago (1984). Her main areas of interest are Citizenship Studies, Political Ideologies in Europe and Turkey, and Women in Muslim Societies. She is the author of various articles in Middle East Journal, Middle Eastern Politics, International Migration, Muslim World, Citizenship Studies, Critique: Critical Middle Eastern Studies, Middle East Law and Governance, Philosophy and Social Criticism.

Since the launch of commercial television in Hungary in 1997, the Hungarian Television lost its media market monopoly and it has been facing serious competition both in terms of audience figures and advertising revenues. Its primary mission, however, remains the performance of public-service functions, such as the production of programmes addressing the needs of smaller groups of a variegated Hungarian society (religious people, children, people interested in Hungarian culture and arts, minorities and Hungarians living abroad).

LASFAR Nor-Dine – The Netherlands NTR – Documentary Director NTR is the independent Dutch public service broadcaster specialising in information, education and culture. NTR’s themes are based on the statutory duties of the three public service broadcasters which in 2010 merged into NTR: NPS, Teleac and RVU. In the Dutch public service broadcasting system NTR is one of the large broadcasters with a statutory public service mission. These broadcasters distinguish themselves from a large number of broadcasting associations whose existence is dependent on members. NTR is independent and nonaffiliated, and can focus entirely on substance. NTR wants to make high-quality programmes for everyone – programmes that educate people and enrich their lives. Nor-Dine Lasfar – I was born 1975 in Morocco and migrated as a young child in 1978 to Amsterdam, Holland where my father was working. After secondary school I studied economics but later I became a documentary filmmaker. I started as a journalist working for a TV programme of NTR. Later I wanted to make my own films and left that job to make my first documentary, which eventually premiered at the International Documentary Festival Amsterdam (IDFA, largest documentary festival in the world) 2007. The film was titled ‘Panna!’. It is an account of two talented young soccer players which I followed for a year in a defining period of their lives. They both lived in a deprived area of Amsterdam and the only way out for them was to make it as a professional soccer player. The documentary tells about their struggle to make it to the pro’s and about how difficult it is for young talented individuals from that deprived neighboorhood to break out of their social background and succeed in life. After that film I have continued to work as a director on different projects both on documentary level and on reports.

European Media Encounter / Rencontre Médiatique Européenne – Istanbul – Who’s Who - p. 50

'' Promoting intercultural dialogue is a collective responsibility but it is also down to individuals. That is the message of the Council of Europe's Speak out against discrimination campaign. And since the media and media professionals have a major role to play in combating discrimination and encouraging intercultural dialogue, the Council of Europe has sought to involve all the media industry's players (publishers, regulators, etc) and have them debate and propose solutions for promoting a culture of tolerance and mutual understanding, bearing in mind the media's contribution to informing the public and forming opinion. ''

'' Promouvoir le dialogue interculturel est une responsabilité collective mais aussi individuelle. C’est le sens du message de la campagne Dites non à la discrimination du Conseil de l’Europe. Parce que les media et leurs professionnels ont un rôle important à jouer dans la lutte contre les discriminations et en faveur du dialogue interculturel, le Conseil de l’Europe a souhaité inviter tous les acteurs de l’industrie médiatique (éditeurs, diffuseurs, régulateurs…) à débattre et à proposer des solutions favorisant une culture de tolérance et de compréhension mutuelle tout en gardant à l’esprit la contribution de ces mêmes media à l’information du public et la formation de l’opinion.

''Kültürler arası diyaloğun yaygınlaştırılması kollektif bir sorumluluk olmakla birlikte bireylerin de sorumluluğudur. Avrupa Konseyi’nin Ayrımcılığa karşı sesinizi yükseltin kampanyasının mesajı da budur. Ve medyanın ve medya profesyonellerinin ayrımcılıkla mücadelede ve kültürler arası diyaloğu teşvik etmede çok önemli bir rolü olduğundan, Avrupa Konseyi medyanın kamuyu bilgilendirmeye ve görüş oluşturmaya olan katkısını hatırda tutarak, tüm medya sektörünü (yayıncılar, düzenleyici kurumlar vb.) konuya dahil etmek istemiş, ve bu bu sektörün tüm temsilàlerinin bir hoşgörü kültürü ve karşılıklı anlayış konusunu tartışarak çözüm önerilerinde bulunmalarını sağlamaya çalışmıştır. ” Assises Internationales du Journalisme et de l’Information Palais de l’Europe, Strasbourg – 7.-9.10.2009
