8. Values of Türkiye Social Model Design Competition

The aim of this competition is to design social models that preserve and perpetuate the spiritual values that the Turkish nation, with its deep-rooted historical heritage, has brought from the past to the present. Competitors are expected to come up with social models that fulfil this aim.

Throughout history, our nation has stood out for its cultural richness, unity, spirit of solidarity, and moral values. It is our responsibility to preserve this heritage and pass it on to future generations. In this context, participants are expected to develop social models that will preserve traditional arts, cultural heritage, moral and human values, bring together different segments of society, and ensure that younger generations embrace these values. Within this scope, the aim is to produce innovative solutions in various fields, such as projects that raise awareness of cultural heritage, efforts to promote traditional handicrafts and music, models that encourage social solidarity, and educational programs that strengthen historical awareness. The goal is to carry Türkiye's spiritual and cultural values into the future while ensuring that these values are preserved in all segments of society.
