Projects

Şemsi Türkmen Anatolian High School

Şemsi Türkmen Anatolian High School was established by Türkmen family in 2008. It is built on an area of 9,000 m² and has 8,000 m² interior and 5,000 m² outdoor space.

The vision of Şemsi Türkmen Anatolian High School is to be an exemplary educational institute for the Eastern Anatolia Region and raising accomplished freethinkers. In this context, the institution aims to provide the ideal educational environment for the purpose of raising self-confident intellectuals who can successfully express themselves to create positive change in their society.

The facilities of the institute include a library, outdoor sport centers, conference and performing arts hall, and laboratories of computer and science. The classrooms are set up for 30 students to give the comfort and space of an ideal learning environment. There are 24 classrooms.

Scholarship Fund

At our group companies, we provide scholarships to the most successful students of our employees who have achieved the highest score on the national university entry exam. Employees with a salary below a certain threshold can apply for these scholarships each year before the start of the school year. Students can benefit from this support throughout their university education if they satisfy outlined academic conditions.

Young Perspectives Project

The purpose of this project was to encourage fine arts students to apply their academic knowledge into reality by providing them the opportunity to have hands-on experience in the textile industry.

14 Students from the University had the opportunity to directly work with the ATT Clothing design team and create their own designs and collection. The topic of the project was defined as ‘Innovative Approaches on Womenswear’. The target customer was defined as the modern woman with a busy lifestyle.

The 14-week program started at our Design Center in Istanbul and continued with multiple field trips to ATT Concorde fabric printing mill at Çerkezköy and ATT Clothing garment factory at Kırklareli. The students observed garment manufacturing processes, digital and rotary printing methods, discovered the broad pattern archive of ATT, as well as made research about seasonal trends and market intelligence.
