In addition to the ongoing projects during the academic year, projects titled “Discover Yourself” are carried out outside of Istanbul during the semester and summer breaks. Since the year 2000, the Discover Yourself Projects have continued with the voluntary participation of students from Sabancı University and other universities. To date, the project has been implemented more than 50 times in 30 different cities.

To contribute to the personal development of children aged 8–13, enhancing their self-confidence, and fostering their creativity, volunteers engage students in activities across various modules such as verbal and numerical skills, human rights, gender, the importance of mass media, educational drama, expression skills, conflict–reconciliation–peace, and artistic skills.

Who We Work With

Discover Yourself Projects are conducted in primary and middle schools located in provinces or districts of the country that can be considered socio-economically disadvantaged. Approximately 100 students participate in each project.

Project Duration

The projects run for one week.
