Led by expert instructors in their respective fields, these workshops contribute to children’s well-rounded development while also strengthening their social skills. The summer workshops, which began on July 7 this year and will continue for 6 weeks, are being held at the Türkan Saylan Contemporary Life Center.
Planned with diverse content such as Visual Arts, Living Math, English, Philosophical Days for Children, Yoga, and Art Therapy, the workshops are designed to support children’s imagination, enhance their cognitive skills, and promote their physical development.
INSTRUCTORS CONNECT WITH CHILDREN’S EMOTIONAL WORLD
Thanks to the integration of disciplines such as creative drama, science, philosophy, and art in the workshops, children enjoy the pleasure of learning through experience. Instructors do more than just impart knowledge; by connecting with the children’s emotional world, they provide an educational environment aimed at building their self-confidence.

Olcay Işlakça, Branch Director of the Türkan Saylan Contemporary Life Center, stated, “Just as we do every year, in our Türkan Saylan Life Workshops—which have now become a tradition—we are conducting activities designed to foster our children’s imagination. We take great care to create spaces where they can learn while having fun and express themselves freely. I’d also like to extend my special thanks to our instructors, who have contributed so selflessly to this process.”
MAYOR ARAS: “ANY EFFORT THAT TOUCHES THE LIVES OF CHILDREN IS THE STRONGEST INVESTMENT IN THE FUTURE.”
Ahmet Aras, Mayor of the Aegean Coastal Municipalities Union and Muğla Metropolitan Municipality, stated that they view the summer workshops as an important part of social municipal services for children. Mayor Aras said, “Every initiative that touches the lives of children is the strongest investment in the future. “These workshops, held at the Türkan Saylan Contemporary Life Center, not only make the most of the summer vacation but also broaden children’s perspectives on life. As local governments, we will continue to do everything in our power to ensure they grow up to be thoughtful, inquisitive, and creative individuals,” he said.
