SUMMARY:Turkish American Cultural Association Turkish American Cultural Association of Michigan ATAA UN Related Announcement Webinar Invitation:  Yoğurt: A Living Intangible Cultural Heritage of Turkish Tradition and Identity
DESCRIPTION:In Support of “International Day of Multilateralism and Diplomacy for Peace” \n\nAssembly of Turkish American Associations (ATAA)\, \nTurkish Women League of America (TWLA)\, and \nEmpowering the Turkish American Community (ETAC-USA) \n\nJointly Present a Webinar on \n\nYoğurt: A Living Intangible Cultural Heritage of \nTurkish Tradition and Identity \n\nSunday\, April 5\, 2026 \n12 pm ET\, 11 am CT\, 9 am PT \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister via the link below.\nus02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_z1ws2W3KSgqbYcxhr3PheA \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEstablished by the United Nations in 2018\, the day highlights the importance of multilateralism—cooperation among three or more states—and diplomacy in navigating global challenges and reducing reliance on unilateral actions. Peace is often the outcome of successful multilateral cooperation. When countries engage in dialogue rather than conflict\, they reduce tensions and build trust. \n  \nHistory shows that durable peace emerges when nations engage multilaterally — through treaties\, shared institutions\, economic interdependence\, and cultural exchange. And this is where yogurt — and food in general — plays a subtle but meaningful role. Food diplomacy has long been a bridge between peoples. Shared meals soften tensions. Cultural appreciation humanizes “the other.” When individuals discover common traditions — such as yogurt — they begin to see shared humanity rather than division.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nClick below for more info.\nwww.ataa.org\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nATAA\, representing over 50 local chapters and 500\,000 Turkish Americans throughout the United States\, serves locally in Washington metropolitan area to empower the Turkish American community through civic engagement\, and to support strong U.S.-Türkiye relations through education and advocacy.
