The document is a request from four European volunteers in Gaziantep, Turkey asking for support and photo submissions to create a video about equality and respect. Specifically: 1) The volunteers want to create a video with submitted photos to promote the message that all people are equal and deserve respect, in response to unwanted harassment they experienced in Gaziantep. 2) They are asking people to submit 5 photos of themselves, family or friends with specifications like a plain background and horizontal orientation. 3) The goal is to collect photos by April 20th to make a video expressing how the volunteers feel and their desire for locals to understand that foreigners are just like them.

1. WE ALL ARE EQUAL We believe - if we try, we can make a change in beautiful city - Gaziantep, Turkey . If we don’t - we will never know. We would like the locals to understand that we all are people just like them, that we have feelings and we want to be treated with respect. Take a part with picture!

2. We are European Voluntary Service volunteers in Gaziantep Gelişim Gençlik Spor Kulübu Derneği in Turkey from 1.july, 2010. We are 4 girls - from Latvia , Poland , Spain and France and are here for a Culture project. We have spent more than half a year in Turkey and will leave on 1.july, 2011.

3. During this time we had a chance to travel around the country and see other cities, meet other people. We think we are very lucky to learn about this country’s culture and its people. We enjoyed spending time in bustling Istanbul, vibrant Ankara, beautiful Safranbolu and many other places and come back to a calm home in Gaziantep.

7. Even so people here are not used to seeing foreigners on the streets, in shops, in parks, in the same cafes they usually go to... They have a lot of stereotypes or wrong ideas about foreigners. And we all know that changing stereotypical thinking is hard, people believe what they were told or shown in films or on TV and behave accordingly.

12. We ask you to send a set of 5 pictures of you or some other members of your family, your friends, loved ones, neighbours etc. We are collecting 5 different pictures. It would be good if you took and sent to us all 5 pictures, but even one picture received from you will be very much appreciated. We want to assure you - no picture will be used for other aim other than to make this video. People that you take a photo of need to be informed about the project its objective.
