Through our Education and arts programs, we strive to create a nurturing environment where children can learn, grow, and appreciate the rich Turkish heritage.
Today’s Children are tomorrow’s future. At the TCLA, our primary mission is to foster cultural awareness and promote diversity, tolerance, and inclusivity among children.
We believe that by providing a platform for children to learn in this way, we are making progressive steps in society’s plight against hate speech, cultural stereotypes and the ultimate outsider, Racism!
In Embracing Scotland’s cultural blends and delivering community learning on Ethnic diversity , We can contribute to a more inclusive and harmonious society.
Language Learning
We offer Turkish language classes tailored to different age groups, providing children with the opportunity to learn and communicate in Turkish. Our language program focuses on developing speaking, listening, reading, and writing skills, enabling dual heritage children to connect with their Turkish roots whilst inviting Scottish children to learn and develop linguistic learning.
Arts and Crafts
Through various artistic activities, such as painting, calligraphy, music, and traditional dance, we aim to introduce children to the rich cultural heritage of Turkey. These activities encourage creativity, self-expression, and an appreciation for different art forms, fostering a sense of appreciation for cultural diversity.
Cultural Workshops
We organize interactive workshops where children can learn about Turkish traditions, customs, and celebrations. These workshops provide hands-on experiences, allowing children to actively participate in cultural activities, such as cooking traditional Turkish dishes, learning traditional dances, and understanding the significance of Turkish festivals.
Community Events
We actively participate in community events and collaborate with other organizations to promote cultural diversity and inclusivity. Through partnerships and outreach programs, we aim to create a sense of unity and understanding among different communities.

We encourage parental involvement in our programs, recognizing the importance of family support in a child’s cultural education. We organize parent workshops, cultural exchange events, and provide resources for parents to continue the learning experience at home.
