Various community, educational, and cultural projects are being implemented across Turkey to support child development and student engagement.

Similarly, in Alanya, educational institutions organized social gatherings featuring traditional games to foster connections between students, teachers, and parents.

Broader initiatives include the ‘Tarihin Bilincinde, Demokrasinin İzinde’ project in Istanbul, which aims to bring 20,000 students to Democracy and Freedom Island to increase historical awareness.
