WOMEN LEARNING HANDICRAFTS AT MELMEK COURSES ARE SMILING
23 June 2024


Melikgazi Municipality's Handicrafts Course organized under MELMEK is bringing smiles to enthusiastic female participants.

Participants of the course held at Necip Fazıl Kısakürek and Fedakar Gülderen Social Facilities by Melikgazi Municipality not only gain handcraft skills but also enjoy fun times and build new friendships. Women use various materials such as wire, yarn, hoops, fishing line, wood, waste paper, and beads in the handicrafts course, creating a wide range of crafts from basket weaving to knitting, from pearl bags to copper reliefs, and utilizing punch needle techniques. Many everyday items crafted by these women become ready for use, showcasing their skills in practical applications.

Melikgazi Mayor Assoc. Prof. Dr. Mustafa Palancıoğlu emphasized the contribution of the courses in developing participants' skills and enabling them to acquire a profession. He stated, "In Melikgazi, we offer a variety of courses catering to people of all ages, from children to adults. Participants in our MELMEK courses can enhance their handcraft skills and also gain professional qualifications. At our handicrafts course held at Necip Fazıl Kısakürek and Fedakar Gülderen Social Facilities, women create beautiful artworks, and we are delighted by their enthusiastic participation and interest. With the support of knowledgeable instructors, our sisters who are enhancing their handicraft skills are also contributing to their household economies. We welcome all participants who wish to make productive use of their time, gain professional qualifications, and contribute to their household economies to join us at our social facilities.

The participants of MELMEK courses expressed their gratitude to Melikgazi Mayor Assoc. Prof. Dr. Mustafa Palancıoğlu for providing them with such an opportunity and expressed their appreciation for the courses.
