In 2011, Hrant Dink Foundation will be organising various activities involving young people and children during the restoration work of the fountains, which are under the ownership of Halil Beyler and Rufekası Beyler Foundation and located in Ekinözü (Habab) village in Kovancılar district of Elazığ province. Habab is the village where Lawyer Fethiye Çetin’s grandmother lived as narrated in her novel “My Grandmother”. “Habab fountains” to be restored under the project are authentic examples of multy vein fountains architecture of Armenians of Anatolia. The foundations, which are still being used actively by villagers despite their unfavourable conditions in terms of sanitation and safety, are still standing today. Once the fountains are properly restored by use of appropriate techniques, they will be able to reflect the inherent characteristics of their time to the future and will contribute to the continuity of culture. The Ministry of Culture of the Republic of Turkey is providing financial support for fountains’ restoration. The project does not limit the restoration work to a mere construction, but it rather aims at creating a model for coming to terms with the past through involving young people and the elderly, the inhabitants of the village, the architects and the restoration team as well as project partners. To this end, we would like to see the participation of young people from Turkey and abroad in this endeavour. In the course of Habab fountains’ restoration, young people will be living in the village for at least two weeks in sequence. During their stay, young people will take part in the restoration effort and will also get engaged in oral history workshops with the local people, will take part in various workshops with young people and children, will organize activities on cuisine, daily life, music, literature, history, architecture, environment and similar topics. Daily Programme: - 3 days a week, 6 hours per day (from 8:00 to 12:00 and 15:00 to 17:00) participants will join the restoration work. - 3 days a week, each participant will take part in social activities. - Each participant will be responsible for the kitschen work once a week. - Each participant will have a day off once a week. - Dailiy programmes can be adjusted according to the need of participants.
