The school’s headmaster Isilay Arkan, assistant headmasters Sait Baki and Omer Ozkan, the head of the science department Cem Hami, teachers and students participated in the activities. The students were very interested and excited about drawing mandala art. The outcome was very impressive.

The Near East College Mandala and Yoga teacher Pinar Savun, has been working voluntarily with the students at ALGIM Special Education Facility for six months. She has been supporting them to develop spiritually, physically and cognitively with yoga , meditation and mandala art.
