Wisdom Program Participants at Anıtkabir on November 10: A Day of Remembrance and Culture in Ankara

Our Bilgelik Programı participants (“Bilgeler”) paid their respects to Gazi Mustafa Kemal Atatürk at Anıtkabir on November 10, beginning the day with the Aslanlı Yol procession and a visit to the Anıtkabir Museum of Atatürk and the War of Independence; they then continued with a cultural tour of Ankara that covered the Ulus district, the surroundings of the First Grand National Assembly building, the Hacı Bayram-ı Veli Mosque–Temple of Augustus complex, and Hamamönü; this meaningful gathering strengthened our shared memory of the Republic and democratic culture while deepening participants’ awareness of the city’s heritage and cultural memory.
