Gazi University Visual Arts Education Research and Application Centre (GEGSEM) for Disabled has organized many social responsibility projects for the purpose of increasing awareness for the disabled since it was founded. We believe that the art work that will be displayed permanently in public areas will increase positive perception against disabled people. For that reason, it is highly significant to display this work of art on the wall of the Gölbaşı- Ahmet Yesevi Culture Centre, which is visited by many people. This will improve public awareness.

 

 

Ferit Fecri FESLİOĞLU, who is the head of Gölbaşı Municipality Culture and Social Affairs, stated that the workshop being conducted with the help of special needs students and Gazi University students means a lot to them and also he added that the art work will be on display permanently on the wall of Gölbaşı-Ahmet Yesevi Culture Centre and that means a lot to them as well. He added that they are eager to organize these kinds of events with Gazi University Visual Arts Education Research and Application Centre (GEGSEM). Head of GEGSEM Assoc. Prof. Dr. Bülent SALDERAY emphasized in his speech that it is important for local governments to support these kinds of events which are supported by the many departments of Gazi University. Lecturers Yılmaz ÇIRACIOĞLU, Zeynep G. ÇALIMLI and Hamide VURAL, who have contributed to the organization, stated that it is a very pleasing feeling to take part in such an event and to see the happiness and excitement of students.
