On Friday, August 9th, Dr. Figen Es visited the Divan Center in North Carolina as a special guest, where she joined volunteers for an event focused on integration and socialization. The Divan Center, known for its efforts to support the integration process and encourage socialization for new community members in the Raleigh area, saw great interest in this special gathering.
In her speech, Dr. Figen Es emphasized that integration is not just a process but also a significant step toward strengthening community solidarity. During conversations with the volunteers, ideas were exchanged on how newcomers can adapt to the local community and develop a sense of active citizenship. This meeting proved to be a meaningful experience for both new participants and long-time volunteers at the Divan Center.
In post-event evaluations, volunteers expressed great satisfaction with Dr. Figen Es’s inspiring speech and the perspectives she offered. They also highlighted the importance of such events in strengthening the unity and togetherness of the community.
As Divan Center, we aim to enrich our community both socially and culturally through such events. We extend our thanks to all the volunteers who participated and express our deep gratitude to Dr. Figen Es for her valuable contributions.
