WHO WE ARE

From local roots to global wings

Inspired by the rich history of Kütahya, the Synaos Think Tank Association (Synaos Fikir Kulübü – SFK) was founded in March 2006. Our mission is to bring together individuals with intellectual knowledge and professional expertise to contribute to the urban, cultural, and intellectual development of Kütahya.

As a platform for exchange and collaboration, SFK fosters dialogue, supports research and development, and organizes events that unite academics, experts, and professionals from diverse fields to shape the future of our city. We also actively engage with local authorities and civil society organizations, ensuring that ideas are transformed into practice and solutions are developed for urban transformation projects.

Beyond intellectual work, SFK opens the doors of Europe and the world to young people. Through EU projects and the European Solidarity Corps (ESC), we provide international mobility opportunities, encourage volunteering, and create programs that empower youth with training, experience, and equal opportunities.

Our vision is to build a society where volunteering becomes a lifestyle, where individuals can actively participate in all areas of life, and where social, cultural, and environmental values are preserved and enhanced. With its deep artistic heritage—such as the world-renowned Kütahya tiles—our city inspires us to connect tradition with innovation and ensure that both our history and our future are carried forward with care
