Minister Yannick, who arrived in Adana in the morning for a series of visits, attended the ‘Techno Children’s Festival’ organized by the Ministry of Family and Social Services on the Kukurova University Technopolis campus.
Speaking here, Minister Yannick reminded that April 23 is National Sovereignty and Children’s Day, the first Children’s Day in the world and said, “April 23 is the first Children’s Day in the world which Gazi Mustafa Kemal gave to the children of the world. We soon started celebrating this holiday. I celebrate the holidays of all the children of the world through you, our beautiful children, who are with us here in Adana on this holiday, and I hug you all with love. This year, we are celebrating April 23rd National Sovereignty and Children’s Day with the most entertaining and exciting form of technology. Today, our Techno-Children’s Festival has many activities ranging from our robotics workshops to artificial intelligence, from our toy trucks to sports, songs and concerts. Through our Techno Children’s Festival, we want you, as a future scientist, to start your work in this field today and try to bring your ideas to life. “
“You children will bring peace and well-being to the whole world.”
Minister Yannick said, “Children are the hope of the future” and continued: “April 23 is the day of the inauguration of our Gazi Council. The inauguration of our Parliament was one of the most important steps towards our independence during the most difficult times in our country. It was a symbol of the Turkish nation’s refusal to accept captivity, its perseverance, determination and most importantly its hope. Children are also our hope. The name of our future, our future. That is why Gazi Mostafa Kamal has given this day as a gift to your children. Our Parliament is the hope of our country, and you are the hope of our Parliament. You children will bring peace and prosperity not only to our country but to the whole world. We have a group of brothers and sisters who came to our country from Ukraine. They will join our event soon. ”
“I’ve always been honored to be one of our puppies.”
Referring to Adana as a leading city in many sectors, Family and Social Services Minister Daria Yannick said, “You may not know, but Adana is the city where I was born. “We believe that we can make the same progress in science and technology. The smart and hardworking people of Chukurova will do with the new technology what Yasar Kamal did in literature, Fatih Terim in football and Senar Sen in cinema.” We have full confidence in each other. I grew up in these countries and I have always been honored to be a member of Kukurova.
“You will be the hero of the next generation”
Noting that children should follow their dreams, Minister Daria Yannick said, “You will be the hero that the children after you follow your dreams and take as an example something that will make you happy and benefit all people. This is how true superheroism happens.” The consciousness of the time we live in is made up of science, information and technology. Since 2000, we have been living in an age of technology that is growing day by day. It’s important to be productive and grow with a vision that brings their new ideas and unique projects to life. “
“Believing that you can do it, you will follow that knowledge.”
Explaining that children’s technological devices should be tested, Yannick says: “In our daily lives, we use dozens of products, including coding and software. Our cell phones, computers, cars, televisions. In short, all smart systems and electronic devices. You’re curious. And testing them? If we don’t test the devices we have or the programs we use, if we don’t understand their systems, then we’re just consumers and hopefully someone will make our lives easier for us ৷ however, Vecihi Hürkuş, Nuri Demirağ, Nuri Killigil, Selçuk Bayraktar did not expect others to produce, they worked and produced themselves. These people have become beacons for all of us. In the process, you will constantly ask yourself the following questions, ? ‘ How a machine, a device, an engine, a vehicle is made. You will be curious about it. You will follow that knowledge believing that you can do it. “
Adana Governor Suleiman Elban spoke of the importance of April 23 and said, “This holiday is a very precious and important holiday for us. The fact that our ministry has turned these holiday events into a technology festival with our children represents a very good understanding of how to properly shape the future and prepare you for the future in the best way possible. “
Kukurova University Rector Professor. Dr. Mary Tunsell, on the other hand, says that on April 23, 1920, the Turkish Republic shouted to the world that it had determined its own future.
AK Party deputies, provincial police chief Dogan Inchi and district mayors were also present on the occasion.
At the end of the speech, Minister Yannick and his visitors visited the stand.
