Dear Precious Members,

With the collaboration of Gulberenk Values Education Association and Turkey Youth Platform (TUGAP) Smiling Meetings being held in Istanbul have begun again with the new season. The Smiling Meetings, which will continue at the Private Acıbadem Girls’ High School Halls in the 2014- 2015 season with the different presentation of Gulberenk Values Education Association president, educator and author Neslihan Nur Turk, have received positive remarks.

The program which was followed with great interest by young ladies who attended it. The participants were told how suspect and prejudice have negative influences, and the need to be patient in terms of deciding swiftly about someone with whom we try to build a relationship. Doctor Gulsen ATASEVEN and European Union Harmonization Commission Member and Istanbul Deputy Halide INCEKARA also participated in the program.

All young women who want to come from Istanbul and neighboring cities are invited to these meetings that make them think over and over again, smile, look otherwise to certain rhetoric and erase the rust of the ears.
