Diyarbakir Metropolitan Municipality will organize a series of trips to the city center and districts in order to introduce students and women to cultural heritage.
Within the scope of the project, which was implemented by the Tourism Branch Directorate of the Department of Culture and Social Affairs with the understanding that "Only a heritage that is recognized and valued can be preserved", a series of trips will be organized to cultural heritage sites, museums and natural beauties in the city center and districts throughout April and May.
The program, which covers the districts of Sur, Çınar, Dicle, Eğil, Lice, Kulp, Silvan, Çüngüş, Hazro, Çermik, Kocaköy, Ergani and Hani, aims to introduce children in rural neighborhood schools to the history of the city center, and students in central districts to the cultural heritage of the districts.
