Within the scope of the village school projects carried out by Ibn Haldun University Social Responsibility Club across different cities, the training was organized on 11 May 2026 at Ibn Haldun University to support volunteer students in establishing healthy communication with children.
Before the program, which was attended by approximately 20 volunteer students, IPAM Deputy Director Kübra Kayaokay provided information about the center’s activities, areas of service, and social responsibility projects. Emphasis was also placed on the importance of students actively taking part in socially beneficial projects, and reflections were shared on the value of volunteering activities in terms of social awareness.
Within the program, Clinical Psychologist Zeynep Züleyha Kablama Yardım and Clinical Psychologist Esra Keçeci participated as speakers. The training covered topics such as building trust with children, communication language, physical and digital boundaries, privacy, approaches in crisis situations, and communication with children from different living conditions.
The training was delivered through an interactive format supported by practical applications and workshops. Participants were divided into five groups and evaluated sample scenarios that may be encountered in village schools. While solution-oriented approaches regarding communication processes with children were developed in group work, feedback was provided by the trainers on appropriate field-based approaches.
The question-and-answer based program created an effective learning environment with active participation from attendees. It is aimed that volunteer students who will take part in field activities in village schools in June will undergo a psychological and practical preparation process through this training regarding communication with children.
