The 26th Spring Meetings of GİF, held for the third time this year, featured a variety of events over three days centered around culture, art, education, and social interaction. From workshops to discussions, concerts to traditional art practices, many activities brought participants together in a production-focused spring atmosphere. The motto "Discover, Experience, Learn" was prominent throughout the program.

The Heart of the Spring Meetings Beat Again at GİF Safveti Pasha

The main hub of the GİF Spring Meetings, the GİF Safveti Pasha Campus, hosted numerous events with high participation over three days. Live music performances held in various areas of the campus provided participants with an atmosphere intertwined with art throughout the day. Traditional art workshops such as woodblock printing, illumination, calligraphy, marbling, glass art, candle making, and pyrography attracted great interest. In the evening, young people gathered at GİF Safveti Pasha for a film screening.

The discussions held as part of the program were also followed with great interest by participants. In the discussion titled "Women and Education in the Business World," moderated by Deputy Chair Burcu Birinci, the educational journey of women and their roles in the production field were addressed.

On the second day of the events, the discussion titled "The Search for Well-Being" evaluated psychological well-being, balance, and the search for meaning, while on the third day, the discussion titled "The First Environment of Humans: Family" focused on the fundamental role of the family concept in individual development.

Traditional Arts and Music Met in the Same Atmosphere

The art events and workshops held during the Spring Meetings offered participants not only a viewing experience but also a producing one. Workshops on Palestinian-themed jewelry design, felt bag making, spring art in glass, and candle painting were particularly popular among young people.

The GİF music performance became one of the highlights of the program. The live music performances that continued throughout the day across the campus stood out as one of the important elements strengthening the cultural and artistic axis of the Spring Meetings.

The Spring Excitement Spread to All GİF Campuses

The GİF Spring Meetings of 26 were held simultaneously not only in Istanbul but also in the campuses of Ankara, Konya, and Silopi GİF.
