Social Responsibility Project titled ''On the Trace of Heritage'' has been completed!

The social responsibility project "On the Trace of Heritage: We Carry Istanbul's Cultural Wealth to the Future with IGU" implemented by Istanbul Gelisim University (IGU) Faculty of Fine Arts has been successfully completed. In the project, which consists of three stages, Istanbul's historical sites and cultural riches were examined. At the end of the project, a booklet providing brief and concise information about the cultural heritage of the city was prepared.

 
The project, which was carried out under the leadership of Research Assistant Emel Çirişoğlu (Department of Gastronomy and Culinary Arts), Res. Asst. Gökçe Uzgören (Department of Interior Architecture and Environmental Design) and  Res. Asst. Eda Türkay (Department of Radio, Television and Cinema), consisted of three separate stages.
In the first place, the team organized a comprehensive technical excursion to explore the historical passages in Beyoğlu district.
In the second stage, historical buildings turned into museums in Beyoğlu were visited and photographic and documentary studies were carried out.
In the third and last stage, the photographs taken in the first two trips and the information collected were brought together in the cultural heritage booklet prepared.
 
The aim is to carry Istanbul's cultural heritage into the future
 
The booklet prepared in the project, which aims to protect Istanbul's cultural heritage and transfer these values to future generations, appeals to a wide audience from history enthusiasts to students and tourists. The booklet contains both theoretical information and current and archival photographs of Istanbul's cultural values.
 
While the project team stated that this study aims to provide practical and valuable information to people who conduct research in the field, it emphasized that such social responsibility projects are of great importance in order to understand the historical texture of the city and transfer it to future generations.
 
This project of IGU shed light on the rich cultural heritage of Istanbul and contributed to the dissemination of historical awareness. The cultural heritage booklet aims to carry Istanbul's heritage to the future by establishing a bridge between the past and the present.
