Turkish municipalities host children's year‑end graduation performances

In the Şehzadeler district, 190 children from municipal child care centers performed in a two‑day year‑end show and graduation ceremony on 13‑14 June 2026. The events featured choreography from sixteen classes, with local officials including Deputy Mayor Halil Emre Esenkaya, Mayor Hakan Şimşek’s wife Zeliha Şimşek, and other municipal leaders presenting diplomas to the graduates.

In Bilecik, Nejat İlhan, the provincial director of Family and Social Services, attended a year‑end performance by a child placed in protective care. He congratulated the child, presented a gift and emphasized the importance of such activities for the children's social development.

Both events highlight local government support for early‑childhood education and cultural activities in Turkish municipalities.
