SELECT A GIFT PROJECT

The “A Gift Select” project, led by the Anatolian Education and Culture Foundation, was implemented in order to ensure that children studying in village schools without a possibility reach their dreams. The project aims not only to support students in village schools, but also to revive the culture of correspondence by creating an intimate language between students studying at colleges and universities and these children. In this context, students from different educational institutions touch their dreams by choosing gifts for children studying in village schools and establish strong bonds through letters.

The project aims to help meet the diverse needs of children in village schools, while at the same time developing empathy and understanding between students in the city and students in the countryside. Through lettering activities, students have the opportunity to get to know each other’s worlds more closely by communicating with peers with different living conditions and cultural backgrounds. This interaction reinforces the students’ sense of solidarity and brotherhood while developing their social skills. The “Choose a Gift” project is an important step in supporting equal opportunities in education and building lasting friendships among the younger generations.
