Teachers in Istanbul gathered at the 11th ÖRAV Education Festival

The ÖRAV Education Festival, held for the 11th time this year, offers teachers a rich experience with expert speakers, inspiring workshops, and a full range of activities. The festival, which began in Erzurum and Kars, will continue to engage teachers in 30 provinces across Türkiye's seven regions until the end of December.

The Education Festival's final stop was Istanbul. On October 11th, workshops supporting both professional and personal development took place in a wide range of areas, from generative artificial intelligence to positive psychology, poetry, yoga, and creative thinking. Garanti BBVA volunteers accompanied the teachers throughout the festival.

Garanti BBVA Deputy General Manager Ebru Taşcı Firuzbay said, “The professional and personal development of our teachers is key to empowering our children, who represent the future. At Garanti BBVA, we believe that quality education plays a key role in the development of societies. With ÖRAV, of which we are a founder and consistent supporter, we support the professional and personal development of our teachers while also working to protect our students' right to access quality education. ÖRAV is a leading civil society organization operating with the vision of raising the conscious individuals of the future. The Education Festival, which has been held for 11 years, is one of the most concrete and comprehensive examples of this vision. The festival, which brings together teachers from all over Türkiye every year, offers them a rich experience with expert speakers, inspiring workshops, and numerous events. We will continue our work with the firm belief that strong teachers are the foundation of strong societies, and equal opportunity in education is an indispensable right.”
