Who are we?
As Center for Cross-cultural Communication (Kim Foundation with its Turkish abbreviation) since our establishment in 2010, we have been introducing Islam to tourists from all around the world in the historical sites that constitute the heart of Turkish cultural heritage in Istanbul.
These encounters take place through one-on-one conversations and presentations at significant locations such as at the Suleymaniye Mosque which is the largest Ottoman Imperial Mosque and Complex, at our Foundation Center just behind the Suleymaniye Library of Hand-Written Manuscripts, at the Beyazıt Mosque, and at the Sinan Erdebili Lodge next to the Hagia Sophia Mosque.
