Suna'nın Kızları completed the Summer Institute, which aims to introduce girls to safe learning opportunities, help them become learning companions for each other, solve the problems they face together and gain lifelong skills that will support their empowerment.
Thirty-nine girls between the ages of 14-18 graduated from the second Summer Institute, which included girls from the villages of Şanlıurfa and Koç High School in Istanbul.
The program, carried out in cooperation with Şanlıurfa Governorship and Koç Schools, includes cultural tours, exploration trips, trainings and workshops that support children's well-being, and talks and panels with successful women who will inspire girls.
As part of the Chamber Talks programme by the Istanbul Research Institute, the talk titled The Cultivated Eye: From Arif Hikmet’s Lens to Architectural Practice brought together M. Baha Tanman and Müjde Dila Gümüş to examine Arif Hikmet Koyunoğlu’s photography archive and architectural work, offering new perspectives on the exhibition The Photography Studio of an Adventurous Architect.
