Today is the 68th opening anniversary of the "Village Institutions" which used to be the leading schools of Ataturk's Enlightenment Period. their life lasted very short but their incomes still effective upon the community. I would like to send my best wishes to their founders; Atatürk, Yücel and Tonguç. Related to the philosophy of the Village Institutions, I conducted 9 imece circles alst year at 2 different universities. This year there exists 9 more. Our responsibility is to carry the qualified approaches to the next generations.
