IDEA

Its basic idea is to bring a holistic approach by combining disciplines for common and qualified production and to bring the differences together to turn the creative ideas that emerge from the differences into reality.

 

AksIDEA comes together every season and works as a workshop, an idea factory for the city!

Community and Interaction:
Aks gathers representatives from 10 universities and engages with a network of 8,000 students in the capital city. Through open calls and community-building efforts, it fosters meaningful interactions among participants.

Formation of IDEA Group:
After applications are received, a working group called IDEA is formed with 50 selected participants. These individuals engage in a structured process over the course of three months, becoming key contributors to Aks IDEA.

Thematic Focus and Coordination:
Under the guidance of the Aks core team, the group works on themes such as cultural heritage, the digital future, and climate change. Panels, workshops, and other activities provide structured opportunities for brainstorming and collaboration.

Turning Ideas into Projects:
The outputs from these activities—ideas generated during panels and workshops—are reviewed and refined by the Aks core team jury. Promising ideas are developed into concrete activities and projects.

Fieldwork and Collaboration:
Once projects or events are approved, fieldwork begins. This involves collaboration with various stakeholders, including municipalities, public institutions, and private companies, to bring the ideas to life.

Project Implementation:
Completed projects and activities are implemented with the support of Aks’ dynamic and youthful network. These efforts unite different actors in the city, fostering collaboration and contributing to urban development.
