Raising Future Intellectuals with a Sense of Brotherhood
Rector Prof. Dr. Alpaslan Ceylan emphasized that children are at the center of Manas University’s family-oriented approach, stating: “Our children are the most valuable treasure of our future. We must approach them with love and embrace them with compassion so that they, in turn, may embrace the future of the Turkish nation and the Turkic world with the same awareness and sense of responsibility. The most important values we can instill in our children are morality, a sense of national and spiritual responsibility, and the ideal of unity and solidarity of the Turkic World.”
He further noted that the summer school is not only an educational program but also an important platform contributing to the transmission of shared cultural values to new generations. “It is of great importance that the future intellectuals of the Turkic world are raised with a sense of brotherhood, solidarity, and shared cultural awareness. With this responsibility in mind, through our Summer School program, we aim for our children to learn while having fun and to build strong bonds around common history, culture, and values,” he added.
