Dear Dosts,
I will be participating in a two-day seminar in Istanbul, organized by ICNC. It is about teaching and studying the subject of civil resistance. I believe along with the other 16 participants I will learn more about nonconflict issues.
The 7th International ICT Seagulls Project ended and 24 teams from various cities of Türkiye and also three projects from ındia contributed a lot with their hard work. I congratulate all the leaders, teachers and students of the teams. The Award Ceremony will be held on 2nd October in sarıyer, Istanbul. After the finalization of the program, all the team leaders will be informed about it.
Perhaps you are aware of it: I have been dealing with the disabled NGOs to guide the challenged students about teaching them problem solving skills. With the Association for The Spinal Cord Paralytics (TOFD) is one of the most dedicated NGOs to the disabled students. This year, within the Seagull Projects, they conducted the "Empathy" project. They prepared some reallife stories from their own lives and also they interviewd with the abled and disabled ones regarding the main problem areas of the disabled. I also guided my senior students at the Educational Faculty of Boğaziçi University and 30 students prepared similar stories after interviewing with the disabled. now, a wonderful book appeared, including more than touching 50 stories. I am editing the book and I am sure it will be within the hands of all. After so many collaborative work with them, ı sincerely believe that we must start training the abled ones before the disabled in order to enlighten their ways.
I wish you all happy and cool summer days. Istanbul is too hot to live in. Love,
Hayal KÖKSAL
