Antalya school principal uses art to inspire students

Sebahattin Şahin, a primary school principal in Antalya, is using his hobby of painting to connect with his students. For the past three years at Hacı Hafize Saygan 2 Primary School, Şahin has displayed his artwork in the school corridors to inspire children and foster communication.

By sharing his creative process and discussing art with students, Şahin aims to break down the traditional barrier of authority between administration and pupils. He uses these interactions to listen to students' concerns and guide those interested in arts and sports. He also engages with parents to encourage students' diverse interests alongside their academic success.
