ISTANBUL

Anadolu Agency's Culture and Arts News Desk has been awarded the "accessible world volunteer" certificate at the third CNR EXPO Book Fair in Istanbul for its contribution towards increasing awareness on the disability issue.

Anadolu Agency was the "Global Communications Partner" of the event, which saw the participation of more than 600 brands and over 250 publishing houses.

This year, the aim of the book fair was to raise awareness on disability. Books published by disabled people, along with conferences and events on disability were featured at the fair.

Anadolu Agency contributed a lot to the promotion of projects and programs at the fair, said Hasan Feyzi Giray, coordinator of World Inclusion Platform – a nongovernmental organization which carries out educational and cultural activities on the disabled community.

The platform organized several projects during the 10-day fair, "which aimed to create a culture of living together with the disabled".
