Eastern Mediterranean University (EMU), Faculty of Communication participated in another social responsibility project organized under the roof of Community Involvement Center. EMU Faculty of Communication, Public Relations and Advertising Department students Rabia Özer, Gözde Ateş, Berke Şahin, Khayal Husyenov and Ahmet Yalçın organized a social responsibility event within the scope of the course given by Public Relations and Advertising Department Head Assoc. Prof. Dr. Anıl Kemal Kaya.
During the event with the “Overcoming the Obstacles through Awareness” slogan which was sponsored by Northern Cyprus Turkcell (KKTCELL), children under the age of 18 with special needs from Famagusta Special Education Center had a lovely day at City Mall Shopping Center.
Within the scope of the event, children with special needs had the chance to watch the “Jumanji: the Next Level” movie at Cinemall in City Mall Shopping Center. At the end of the event that was organized for raising awareness on the importance of socializing for children with special needs, KKTCELL presented “Emocan” toys, one of the symbols of the company, to all the children.
The sensitive EMU students who participated in the event emphasized the fact that children with special needs are not different than other children. Therefore, these children should be more active in their social lives and should enhance their communication with others. Moreover, EMU students stated that the society should show more awareness on this manner. Lastly, students added that they will continue to organize such event in order to raise awareness on social responsibility.
