Students who came together at the traditional picnic organized as part of the BİLİM-DER Summer School spent the day enjoying fun games and boosting their morale in the natural atmosphere of Dülükbaba Nature Park.
The Science, Youth, Education, Social, Health, Culture, Solidarity and Assistance Association (BİLİM-DER) continues to enrich its summer school program, which it successfully carries out under the umbrella of the Bülbülzade Foundation, with social activities. Alongside the comprehensive educational curriculum prepared by the Anadolu Federation, the association aims to increase children's motivation and strengthen their social bonds, and in line with this objective organized a meaningful outdoor activity. The event, attended by a large number of students enrolled in the summer school, provided children with the opportunity to spend a day immersed in nature.
BOTH FUN AND TEAM SPIRIT IN THE HEART OF NATURE
The picnic event, organized at Dülükbaba Nature Park, one of Gaziantep's most important green spaces, began around midday. After their theoretical lessons in the classroom, the students had the opportunity to gather outdoors and participated in various competitions prepared under the coordination of their instructors. Thanks to the traditional games, sports activities, and group events held throughout the day, the children not only enjoyed their holiday period but also had the chance to experience values such as teamwork and solidarity in practice.
SOCIAL ACTIVITIES ARE AN INTEGRAL PART OF EDUCATION
BİLİM-DER officials stated that they have adopted a fun-based learning model in their summer school programs and emphasized the importance of such social organizations. It was noted that picnics and similar outdoor activities play a critical role in helping children relieve school-related fatigue, make new friendships, and develop a sense of belonging. It was also emphasized that the summer school, which is not limited to the transfer of knowledge alone, will continue to make a direct contribution to children's character development and motivation through such holistic activities.
