Kentlerin tarihi gelişim süreçleri, önemli mimari ve kültürel yapıları hakkındaki bilgileri çocuklara erişilebilir kılmak

Çocuklar İçin Beyoğlu (Beyoğlu for Kids)

Project Period: 2019

Project Partner: EU Sivil Düşün

In the Beyoğlu for Kids project, which we carried out with the financial support of the Sivil Düşün EU Program and in collaboration with İKSV Alt Kat and the Chamber of Architects of TMMOB, we conducted workshops with children living in five different neighborhoods of Beyoğlu. By combining the Beyoğlu experienced by children with the cultural heritage elements of the district, we produced an illustrative map. With this map, suitable for children aged 5 and above, children can experience Beyoğlu’s historical and cultural components through stickers and sensory games.

We continue to organize walks and incorporate educational content using the Beyoğlu for Kids map, which is published in both English and Turkish.

İstanbul'u Okuyorum (Reading Istanbul)

Project Period: 2020

Project Partner: Turkish Publishers Association

Funded by the Turkish Publishers Association's Reading Culture Platform, Reading Istanbul is a project that introduces children aged 5 and above to the historical peninsula within the framework of reading culture venues. During the pandemic period, we learned through social media channels about the places children most enjoyed visiting in the historical peninsula. In the series of talks titled "Authors of Istanbul for Children Talk," we hosted children's authors and illustrators. By the end of the project, we distributed a printed map featuring cognitive and sensory games to 4000 children. The digital map created was made accessible to teachers as educational material.

We continue to organize walks and incorporate educational content using the Historical Peninsula for Kids map.

You can access the interviews conducted within the scope of the project through the link.
