On the 14th of November, as part of our talk series “I am new to İzmir and…”, we hosted researcher and academic Menelaos, along with human rights lawyer Mehtap, who have both recently settled in İzmir.

Mehtap, who shared her experiences of living in Turkey and the Netherlands, currently works with immigrants in Izmir in the field of human rights. Menelaos, who has diverse experiences extending beyond Greece and Turkey, talked about his research focusing on rural areas.

Both speakers talked about their relationships with the city while addressing cross-cultural differences.
