APRIL 17, 1940 – APRIL 17, 2025
[LMGlobal.Org] It was one of the most advanced and unique education systems of the time in Turkiye, which was embedded with life and skill-building programs with the ultimate goal of trusting and investing in human potential towards human advancement. This was based on the core vision of the Founder of the Republic of Türkiye, Mustafa Kemal Atatürk (1881 – 1938).
Although the Turkish Village Institutions program as a whole was short-lived, it was shot down by the Democrat Party of Türkiye in 1952. By then, it produced over 17 thousand teachers alone both men and women, who carried out the torch for generations to come despite completely being dismantled of it.
We dream that this vision will be resurrected to be modified and adapted to our times along with a strong technological infrastructure as a compulsory peace education on the global level to be a part of the Global Public Education System’s backbone along with the Information and Communications Technologies.
On its formation day, we celebrate its 85th Anniversary through our Newsletter#21, along with a scheduled celebration program, titled, “The Turkish Village Institutions: A Unique Education Model” with Cengiz Oksüz, President of the Istanbul Branch of the New Generations of the Turkish Village Institutions, which is scheduled for Saturday, April 19, 2025.
Through the scheduled virtual event, we aim to bring its core vision to the surface on the global level, in particular, in connection with the #CompulsoryPeaceICTEducation concept, in support of the United Nations #PactForTheFuture, along with #OurCommonFuture resolutions.
In this context, the very first comprehensive English book on the Turkish Village Institutions was written by Fay Kirby Berkes, printed by Teacher College, Columbia University in 1960, titled, “The Village Institute Movement of Turkey: An Educational Mobilization for Social Change“, which is still one of the most quoted English sources on the Turkish Village Institutions.
