Suna's Daughters celebrated the 3rd anniversary of its journey with community stakeholders and supporters. At the Great Community Meeting, the work to date was evaluated, and the goals and roadmap for the next three years were discussed.
In these three years, Suna's Daughters reached more than 10.000 children in 5 different Children's Hubs. Completed two Summer Institutes focusing on girls' empowerment together. Started implementing school, neighborhood and child-based models and programs with the Neighborhoods Supporting Children projects in Şanlıurfa and Hatay. Created the Child-Focused City Map to track children's access to services on a neighborhood basis.
The Suna’s Daughters team was in Mumbai with Girl-Centered Design Support Circle participants to meet with local organizations working for girls. As part of the program, carried out in collaboration with EMpower Foundation, visits were made to girls’ learning communities, advocacy campaigns, and community centres to exchange knowledge and experiences.
From September 16-18, 2024, Professor Henry Houlden and Dr. Francesca Magrinelli from University College London (UCL) visited NDAL for an academic meeting and knowledge exchange. Over three intensive days, they examined 18 families, discussed genetic inheritance, and proposed Long Read Sequencing (LRS) for unresolved cases. This visit emphasized the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration in genetic research and provided a valuable model for future engagements.
Pera Museum is hosting a special concert by Metrum Ensemble Trio+ as part of the Calculations and Coincidences exhibition. Renowned for uniquely interpreting classical and contemporary works, the ensemble highlights how music incorporates structured and accidental elements, much like visual arts. This exclusive performance will also feature flutist Anna Rákóczy, the daughter of exhibiting artist Gizella Rákóczy.
