In response to Syrian refugee crises, Cho and his student team at Bilkent University initiated, programmed, designed and managed the Centre with the aim of stimulating socio-cultural, economic and political integration and inclusion between Syrians and Turkish locals. His team works closely with the Turkish government, NGOs, INGOs and the grassroots to realise a joint vision: to build quality, equality and sustainability of life for all. Today, the Centre runs a women’s association, cooperative and social enterprises, providing ongoing vocational, educational and recreational programs.
