The educational program of the camp will be conducted by the University of Cappadocia within the framework of the Anadolu Project and the Local Development Move, carried out in coordination with the Directorate General of Development Agencies of the Ministry of Industry and Technology of the Republic of Turkey. The program will bring cooperatives, entrepreneurs and professionals operating in the field of local production together on the same platform.

The strong heritage of Anatolia, which is reshaped every day by the fertility of its soil, the accumulation of its cuisine and the skill of skillful hands, will be addressed throughout the camp in a broad framework, ranging from production to branding, from digital visibility to sustainable business models. Participants will be involved in a hands-on learning process to make this wealth that exists in Anatolia, the home of the first and the singles, become more visible, stronger and more sustainable.

During the camp, participants will meet with our University professors and experts in the field in topics such as branding, social media management, product photography, e-commerce processes, team management, task sharing, corporate structure, collaborations and solidarity networks. The programme aims at local producers to tell their stories with the right tools, transform their products into value-added brands and bring their production to wider audiences with the possibilities of the digital world.

Focusing on Anatolia's “acting, producing and sharing” spirit, the camp will consider the culture of cooperativism not only as an economic model, but also as an approach that enhances solidarity, strengthens local development and carries collective labor into the future. In the program, where success stories will be examined on the spot, participants will meet inspiring examples and join a strong network of solidarity for new collaborations to be established across Turkey.

The camp, which can be used by cooperatives, entrepreneurs, professionals in the field of agricultural production and food, as well as artisanal and handicraft producers; aims to carry the heritage of Anatolia stronger into tomorrow, to connect the culture of imece with today's needs and to develop new models that will contribute to regional development.

Applications for the Cooperative Camp in Anadolu, which will be held with limited quota, will be received from June 22 to July 10, 2026 at anadoludakiler.org.
