Nilüfer Vocational School is a 4-year special educational needs school, accredited by the ministry, that trains individuals who have completed their primary education, are not older than 23 years of age, who have basic learning difficulties, who cannot attend general and other vocational secondary school programs and who need special education. Its purpose is to develop the life skills of these young people, to meet their learning needs, to provide their adaptation to the society and to prepare them for careers and jobs. At the end of its education, the students are employed at appropriate jobs for their levels within the handicapped worker quota.
In 2013 an awareness Project called “The Seagull Jonathan” was implemented at the school. A photography club was founded within its framework and it was aimed that the students expressed themselves through photography and their awareness was raised. As a result of the basic photography training, rather successful results were obtained. The students perceived the difference between looking and seeing very well and they expressed themselves much more free, creative and self-confident through photographs, with the contribution of their imagination.
The Niş students continue their photography work with shooting trips, trainings and other activities.
Responsible for the Project: Füsun TAŞ BİNOL
