Festive enthusiasm on April 23rd
Izmir University of Economics (IUE) brought together approximately 200 children at the April 23rd festival held on campus. Students of Beyaz Köşk Kindergarten and guest children sang songs, had fun on the playgrounds, painted, and exhibited their talents in art and environment themed workshops, experiencing the joy of the holiday together. Children had an unforgettable day full of excitement at the festival where fun and enthusiasm never diminished.
Children, who spent time to their heart's content on April 23 National Sovereignty and Children's Day, which was gifted to them by the Great Leader Ghazi Mustafa Kemal Ataturk, learned new information by participating in science, fairy tale and improvisation workshops. IUE Rector Prof. Dr. Yusuf Hakan Abacıoğlu also attended the festival and played games with the children.
The festival held at Izmir University of Economics Ceremony Field vas co-organized by IUE Children’s University Research and Application Center, IUE Vocational of Health Services Development Program, and student clubs affiliated to the Health, Culture and Sports Directorate.
THE SCOPE OF OUR WORK WILL EXPAND

Stating that they carry out national and international activities in many fields from art to engineering, from sports to education, Bozkurtoğlu said, “We take care of children's needs and carry out work to contribute to them being happier, healthier and accessing equal opportunities with their peers. In the coming period, we will expand the scope of our work by organizing activities that support and center around the disadvantaged children and youth.”
APRIL 11 CELEBRATION
Noting that they organized a special exhibition of children's artworks before the April 23 Children's Festival, Bozkurtoğlu stated, “EUCUNET determined April 11 as the ‘International Day of Children's Universities’ to make the work for children visible, to carry out joint projects and to increase the visibility of children's universities. This year, for the first time, we presented many art-themed works created by children to many visitors in the exhibition we opened within the scope of International Day of Children's Universities. Starting next year, in addition to the traditional April 23rd Children's Festival, we will organize special events for children every April 11 that will contribute to their personal development. We will send a good message from Izmir to the whole world to raise awareness on this issue.”
