YOUTH ENGAGED WITH WAQF CULTURE IN THE FIELD

4/13/2026

The Waqf Culture Society, operating under our Directorate General and established at İzmir Kâtip Çelebi University as the first and only initiative of its kind in Türkiye, explored the traces of our deeply rooted heritage in the capital.

A presentation seminar was delivered to the students visiting our Directorate General, introducing waqf civilization and the services currently being carried out.

The participants were also hosted at the Grand National Assembly of Türkiye, where they were provided with information on its historical and institutional structure.

Visiting museums, inns, and caravanserais reflecting the historical and cultural heritage of Ankara, the students had the opportunity to closely observe the presence of our heritage within urban life.

As part of the program, waqf mosques were also visited, allowing participants to experience firsthand the reflections of our tradition in places of worship.

"As for the issues related to the foundations, it is known that foundations constitute an important asset of our country. I hope that all members of Council of Ministers together with the Ministry Of Religious Affairs and even the Supreme Assembly examine this issue with great care and that this great institution is protected from devastation and made useful for our country in order to ensure that our country can benefit from this asset as necessary."
