Meaningful April 23 Event by Our Students in Bucak Elsazı Village

Students of Bucak Hikmet Tolunay Vocational School Child Development and Youth Services Department Child Development Program came together with children by participating in the celebrations held in Elsazı village of Bucak district within the scope of April 23 National Sovereignty and Children's Day.

In the events held at Elsazı Yenice Primary and Secondary School, students organized activities such as balloon twisting, face painting, and animation to enhance the children's festive enthusiasm. Throughout the event, university students closely engaged with the children, contributing to their social and emotional development with both entertaining and educational activities.

The event, in which the Public Relations and Promotion Program also participated as a stakeholder, was significant not only for the April 23 celebrations but also for highlighting the importance of early childhood education. Through practical work, students gained professional experience and had the opportunity to develop effective communication skills with children.

Within the scope of the event, a campaign conducted by Antalya Industrialists and Business People Association (ANSİAD) Chairman of the Board Ercan ÖZBEK, High Advisory Board Member Işık YARGIN, and Social Responsibility Working Desk Chairman Orhan ŞENOĞLU resulted in the donation of various educational materials to the school. The donations contributed to the improvement of the school's educational facilities.

The school administration, teachers, village residents, and student parents also participated in the program. At the end of the program, Head of the Child Development and Youth Services Department Dr. Lecturer Şaban HÖL expressed gratitude to the school principal Mehmet KURT for his kind hospitality. Participants expressed their satisfaction with the positive effects of the event on the children.

In line with the mission of our university, our Vocational School continues to encourage students to take active roles in the field with activities that contribute to society.
