The 7th week workshop of the SETAP (Sustainable Technological Adaptation Project), carried out in collaboration between Yeditepe University’s Department of E-Commerce and Ataşehir Municipality, was successfully completed under the title “Dear Diary Workshop: Self-Expression Through Collage, Color, and Everyday Objects.”
In this special event, children experienced a unique and creative way of expressing their daily lives and emotions through art. Throughout the workshop, the children created personal collage pages reflecting their inner worlds, inspired by the idea of designing their own diaries. Using colorful papers, various textures, images, and everyday objects, these works allowed children to reveal both their imagination and their self-expression skills.
Each child designed a “diary page” carrying traces of their own life, combining their emotions, thoughts, and observations through a visual storytelling language. This process not only encouraged artistic production but also supported children in getting to know themselves better and becoming more aware of their inner worlds.
The collage-based activities carried out during the workshop strengthened the children’s ability to bring separate pieces together into a meaningful whole. This method contributed to both problem-solving and creative thinking skills, making the learning process more active and enjoyable.
The SETAP Workshops will continue to support children in developing production-oriented thinking within a technology-driven world while expanding their spaces for creative expression.
