5th Education Support Programs Center (EDEP) English Student Symposium Begins: Addressing Contemporary Issues

TÜRGEV’s affiliate, the Education Support Programs Center (EDEP), is organizing the fifth edition of its traditional English Student Symposium this year under the theme “Contemporary Issues.” Twenty-five students from various departments and universities will deliver academic presentations in English during the symposium.

21 July 2025

The aim of the symposium is to contribute not only to the participants’ language skills but also to their critical thinking abilities, academic research capacity, and competence in expressing themselves in an international language. All of the participating students, who are in the final year of their undergraduate studies, will address topics concerning society, individuals, and today’s world through interdisciplinary approaches in their presentations.

The presentations will be delivered under the following categories:

  • Literature

  • Education

  • Psychology

  • Sociology

  • Health

  • Social Media

  • Theology

Intriguing topics such as “Is tragedy possible in Islamic literature?”, “Religious coping strategies in psychological distress”, “The current role of the family institution”, “The impact of social media on youth”, and “The ruling on organ donation in Islam” will be discussed from the perspective of young researchers.

The EDEP English Student Symposium offers its participants not only the opportunity to gain experience in delivering academic presentations but also a platform where they can freely express their ideas and engage in intellectual discussions.

We invite all students, academics, and researchers to attend this event to listen to the high-quality content prepared by future academics and to exchange ideas.
