Meaningful Visit to the Traditional Weaving Courses in Samandağ
HATAY – The traditional weaving courses jointly organized by the Tohumluk Foundation and the Samandağ Public Education Center welcomed a special visitor as Samandağ Mayor Emrah Karaçay visited the training program in Tomruksuyu.
During the visit, Mayor Karaçay met with the trainees, learned about the ongoing educational activities, and examined the handcrafted woven products created throughout the course. He also had the opportunity to exchange ideas with participants about their experiences and the value of preserving traditional craftsmanship.
Launched to support women's participation in production, preserve traditional weaving techniques, and safeguard the region's cultural heritage, the program enables participants to develop practical skills while actively engaging in creative and productive work.
Through hands-on training, participants learn traditional weaving methods that require patience, craftsmanship, and dedication. Every woven piece produced during the courses represents not only a handcrafted product but also a valuable contribution to preserving Hatay's rich textile heritage for future generations.
The visit also highlighted the importance of collaboration between local governments, educational institutions, and civil society organizations in promoting sustainable community development and cultural preservation.
The Tohumluk Foundation is proud to work alongside the Samandağ Public Education Center in supporting women's empowerment, strengthening local production, and ensuring that traditional weaving techniques continue to be practiced and passed on.
We extend our sincere thanks to Mayor Emrah Karaçay, the management of the Samandağ Public Education Center, our instructors, and all the dedicated participants whose enthusiasm and commitment continue to keep this valuable cultural tradition alive.
Together, we remain committed to preserving cultural heritage, empowering communities, and creating sustainable opportunities through education and traditional craftsmanship.
