Get involved

You can take part in the association’s work by volunteering and by becoming a member.

Volunteering

The association pursues its purposes mainly through volunteer work: volunteer missions to Constantinople and elsewhere, studies and research, documentation of historical archives, seminars, lectures and events. If you would like to volunteer, write to the association’s email, given below.

Members

Members contribute to the association’s purposes and take part in its activities. They participate in General Assemblies, vote, and elect and may be elected to the association’s bodies, provided they have met their financial obligations.

How to become a member

1. Apply to the Board of Directors with the application form. You may write in Greek, English or Turkish. The form asks for:

   • your full name;
   • the email address at which you will receive the association’s invitations and documents;
   • your home address, which you choose from OpenStreetMap so that it is recorded correctly;
   • optionally, a contact telephone number;
   • optionally, whether you have taken part in volunteer work for Constantinople, for example in missions to the city or in cooperation with associations of Constantinopolitans, with its duration and content.

   You then receive an email with a link to confirm your email address. You may also send your application by email to the association’s address (below), with the same details.

2. The Board of Directors decides on your registration and informs you by email.

3. Once approved, you receive an email with a personal payment link for the registration fee and the annual fee for the first year. Your registration as an active member is completed when the payment is completed.

Registration fee and annual fee

• Registration fee: €15, one-off.
• Annual fee: €10.

You pay the annual fee for the following years with the form on this page, and you can pay it for more than one year at once. A member who does not meet their financial obligations for three years may be removed by decision of the Board of Directors.
