Near East Union

NEU for Near East Union.

NEU consists of people from Middle East or people with Middle Eastern roots to recalibrate the compass to understand: middle of what and whose east?

NE for Non European.

NEU aims to start a discussion about Non- European people’s situations in Sandberg Institute and Gerrit Rietveld Academy.

N for New.

NEU wants to bring its members together to share their experiences in their new life, and find out common strategies from the common struggles.

E for Everyone.

NEU welcomes all who have something to say about being a Middle Eastern within the frameworks of the Gerrit Rietveld Academy and Sandberg Institute.

U for you.

Near East is getting closer to You.

ELECTION MARATHON

Join us at the ELECTION MARATHON, where we will witness a defining moment not only for Turkey but for rest of the world. The election will weigh heavily on security in Europe and the Middle East. Who is elected stands to define: Turkey’s role in the NATO alliance; its relationship with the U.S., the EU and Russia; migration policy; Turkey’s role in the war in Ukraine; and how it handles tensions in the Eastern Mediterranean.
