Community Awareness Projects

Hi, I'm Abuzer Akçay. I am a 4th year student of Preschool Education Department at Inonu University Faculty of Education. I am also the president of the Society of Social Awareness Projects. Our community was founded in 2008 to raise awareness of social issues. As a community, we gather in conference rooms and meeting rooms that are allocated to us. The number of members of our community ranges from approximately 2500 to 3000. Our community is registered with student members from all departments. Our community carries out its work in the form of large subprojects and activities. Our projects and activities are as follows; Smiley Eyes and Karnayan Project are activities that we organize to keep the morale and motivation of the children with leukemia and chikdren who need liver transplantation at Turgut Özal Medical Center. In addition to these activities, we have a Blood Brother project to meet the blood needs of children with leukemia. Another project; It is the Hope from the Street project, which is a social support project, whose target audience is children in village schools. At the same time; Let's be unhindered project is the social responsibility project we have organized for our children who are educated in special education schools. We have trainings such as nursing home project, sign language and search and rescue for our elderly residents in nursing homes. In addition, we try to be with the families of martyrs and veterans with the Safe Families project. In this context, we create martyr libraries and memorial forests in order to keep the names of our martyrs alive during the year. In addition to these events that we organize during the year, our most comprehensive event is called Walk to Hope. It is a march with all the communities of Inonu University, along the road route called the Wise Way, together with flying balloons and banners, to provide morale and motivation to children with leukemia. Our community is open to all students who are studying at Inonu University. Our membership terms are to be a volunteer and an active student at Inonu University. Thanks to the community, I have taken an important step towards becoming more sensitive towards social issues. Our community has benefited me greatly in developing my qualities such as persuasion and leadership. Our community has allowed me to express myself more freely, and my social sensitivity has improved by taking advantage of the opportunities offered by our community. Thanks to our community, I was able to touch the hearts of many. We welcome you to Inonu University to touch hearts. It’s a privilege to be a part of İnönü University. I wish success to the studentswho will take the exam.
