Theatre Education Continues in Bursa in the New School Year
BURSA - At Tohumluk Foundation Bursa, we are continuing our work to connect children with theatre in the new school year. As of November 10, 2026, our volunteer instructors Gülcan Gökbora, Şule Aydın, and Elif Epiri have resumed theatre education with students at Hasköy School in Mudanya.
Throughout the 2025–2026 academic year, we worked with three classes at Hasköy and Nejla Orhan schools. These activities culminated in six performances at four different schools at the end of the year. Seeing the students’ efforts take shape on stage also inspired other children to join.
The enthusiasm of students who watched last year’s performances makes the continuation of the program especially meaningful. Their interest in taking part after seeing their peers on stage shows how engagement with the arts can grow within a school community.
Through in-person sessions planned to continue throughout the academic year, we aim to give children opportunities to express themselves, use their imaginations, and experience creating something together. Within the collaborative setting of theatre, we value opportunities for students to listen to one another, share responsibilities, and discover their own ways of communicating.
Interest in the program is also reaching beyond the schools where we currently work. Requests for theatre education from other schools reflect a wider interest in opportunities for children to engage with the arts. We see these requests as encouraging signs of the response to our work and the desire for future activities.
We thank Gülcan Gökbora, Şule Aydın, and Elif Epiri for their dedication, along with the school administration, teachers, and all the students joining us on this theatre journey. At Tohumluk Foundation, we continue supporting spaces where children can learn through art, create together, and express themselves.
