Across several Turkish provinces, local authorities and religious leaders are using summer Qur'an courses as a platform for community activities aimed at children and families. In Samsun’s Canik district, the municipality’s "Haydi Güle Oynaya Camiye Gel" project operates in 126 mosques, offering educational games, refreshments and a prize ceremony featuring gifts such as VR glasses, bicycles, robot dogs and drone helicopters on 13 August 2026.

In Kütahya, Mufti Dr İrfan Açık met with course participants at Çamlıca Nature Park, while the Emet district inaugurated a new "15 July Martyrs" Qur'an course in a renovated building that will host 60 students. Denizli’s Merkezefendi district held the "Gözümün Nuru Namaz" drawing and poetry competition, awarding a night‑stay at Çameli Taş Konaklar and other gifts to the winners. Manisa’s Şehzadeler police conducted a safety‑awareness seminar for children at Fatih Mosque, covering internet safety, traffic rules and crime prevention. In Çanakkale, a bike‑ride program titled "Pedalla Değerlere Yolculuk" brought together students, families and teachers to promote health, family values and national heritage. These coordinated events illustrate a nationwide effort to combine religious education with cultural, recreational and safety initiatives for youth.
