Türkiye’s first psychocultural youth program, organized as part of Ankara’s designation as the "2026 Tourism Capital of the Turkic World" by the Organisation of Turkic States (OTS), has concluded after four days of events.
The program, titled “Brotherly Capital: Common Voice, Common Spirit,” was organized by the Psychosocial Support Services Department of the Ministry of Youth and Sports.
In a statement released on Thursday, the ministry said the program was the first youth organization of its kind in Türkiye, built around cultural psychology and intercultural psychology approaches.
Speaking at the closing ceremony, Elif Güneş, adviser to the youth and sports minister and head of the Psychosocial Support Services Department, said the friendships and bonds of brotherhood formed during the program were an important gain for the shared future of the Turkic world.
Güneş said young people are the strongest representatives of a shared spirit and common values, moving toward the future with an awareness of common history and civilization. She voiced hope that the bonds built over the four-day program would turn into lasting friendships.
