TRT World Citizen

TRT World Citizen TRT World Citizen is the philanthropic arm of TRT. Inspire positive change. Join us!

TRT ‘World Citizen’ initiative intends to inspire humanity’s collective conscience and celebrate our magnificent diversity. We are born from the belief that “Individuals become Inspiration” and that “News Inspires Change.” Beyond our media coverage, we believe that we have a fundamental moral responsibility to do something with the people, as opposed to just about the people. As such, we seek to r

edefine the capacities and scope of media outlets by going beyond reporting and being part of the change. World Citizen is the first initiative of its kind to be launched by a global media network whose employees are on the ground, working on grassroots humanitarian-based initiatives. We call for inspiration, innovation and are committed to connecting communities by constructing inclusive, sustainable instruments - through music, art, literature and sport, that transcend borders.

“A much-needed film festival for unheard voices.”

Ahmed Deeb, director of FARFOUR: A WAR DIARY FROM GAZA and recipient of the TRT Special Award at the 2025 TRT Humanitarian Film Festival, reflects on the power of a platform dedicated to humanitarian storytelling.

From Gaza to Sudan, Syria and beyond, he emphasizes the importance of bringing forward stories that are often overlooked — yet define the realities of our world.

A space where humanitarian stories are not only told, but truly heard.

Be part of the stories that bring the world closer.

Thousands of children’s shoes placed in a public square in Amsterdam — each pair a silent reminder of lives lost too soon.

A childhood interrupted.
A future taken away.

This installation is more than a tribute — it is a call for justice, for accountability, and for humanity.

As we look back at the 7th TRT Humanitarian Film Festival, last year’s preliminary jury member Sinan Sertel reflects on the depth and dedication behind the selection process.

✨ From thoughtful discussions to a distinctive film analysis workshop, his words highlight a festival that goes beyond screening films — and invites deeper understanding.

A perspective that reminds us what makes these stories truly impactful.

Join us in discovering stories that challenge, connect and inspire.

Submit your film and be part of it.
