İskeçe mufti's office organises nature walk for young children
More than 90 children and their mothers took part in a nature and reflection walk in the Nimfea Forest, organised by the Children's Coordination Unit of the Mufti's Office of Komotini (Gümülcine).
The event took place on Saturday, November 7, 2026, under the theme “See, Think, Discover: A Walk of Reflection”.
Participants included more than 90 children aged between four and seven from the Central Quran Courses in Komotini, accompanied by their mothers.
YOUNG PARTICIPANTS EXPLORE THE FOREST
Wearing specially prepared “Nature Explorer” T-shirts, the children set off on a forest walk in groups under the guidance of their teachers.
Along the route, they observed their surroundings, listened to the sounds of nature and explored different natural objects through touch and observation. The activity aimed to encourage curiosity, discovery and reflection through direct engagement with the natural environment.
NATURAL MATERIALS DISPLAYED
During the walk, the children collected various natural materials and gathered them in baskets. At the end of the activity, they created colourful displays using the items they had found.
Meanwhile, coffee and cake were served to the mothers, providing an opportunity for them to meet, socialise and strengthen their ties.
EDUCATIONAL ACTIVITY BRINGS FAMILIES TOGETHER
The event sought to help children develop a closer connection with nature, improve their observation skills and cultivate a sense of reflection.
Combining outdoor learning with a family gathering, the programme concluded with a group photograph.
