In Malatya, the Metropolitan Municipality is organizing a sports summit to discuss strategic developments and youth social development, featuring sessions with former national football players. Mayor Sami Er also announced plans for a marketplace to support women’s cooperatives. Financial aid remains a priority, with Şehitkamil Municipality allocating 200 million TL to university students, while Mersin Metropolitan Municipality provides non-refundable aid ranging from 10,000 to 30,000 TL based on degree length. Kayseri also offers support to low-income families with university students. As the 2026-2027 period progresses, municipalities are transitioning to autumn and winter programming. In Kayseri, the Talas Marifet Mektebi has begun a new term under the auspices of the Kayseri Governorship, offering studies in literature, thought, writing, and art. In Bursa, the Bursa Düşünce Okulu has opened its second term through a partnership between Yıldırım Municipality and Bursa Uludağ University. Recent efforts have focused on amateur sports and literary development. Kahramanmaraş Metropolitan Municipality announced a 15 million TL support package for amateur sports clubs, including 8 million TL in cash.

Additionally, Yeşilyurt and Yıldırım municipalities have launched lecture series, such as ‘Bir Değer, Bir Ömür’ and ‘Geleneği Keşfetmek’, to connect citizens with intellectuals and explore philosophy and tradition. In Sakarya, the Metropolitan Municipality is advancing environmental education through the LAP BLACK Project, which involves STEM workshops and activities at Lake Sapanca.
