 A Seminar on Children's Rights and the Value of Children Was Held


A highly interactive seminar titled “Children’s Rights and the Value of Children” was delivered to the students of Gökkuşağı College by Research Assistant Hatice BİNGÖL from the Department of Child Development, Faculty of Health Sciences, Istanbul Gelisim University.


Throughout the event, various activities such as games, question–answer sessions, and conversation-based practices were used to encourage active participation. The children had the opportunity to explore fundamental children's rights including the right to shelter, education, protection, health, play, and self-expression through their own experiences.
The seminar aimed to make the concept of rights more concrete for children, emphasizing the message that “Every child is valuable.” BİNGÖL explained the theme of children’s value by relating it to universal principles such as empathy, respect, trust, and fairness, presenting them in a clear and experiential manner.
During the seminar, students reinforced what they had learned through various drama and movement-based activities, enjoying an engaging and entertaining learning process. BİNGÖL concluded her talk with Mustafa Kemal Atatürk’s words:
“Children must be protected from all forms of neglect and abuse; they must be considered and treated with greater sensitivity than adults in every circumstance.”
