Developed by Yunus Emre Institute in order to adapt to the ever-changing and developing world of technology, the first stop of the "Tanışkan Project" workshops, which brings art and Turkish together using new technologies such as artificial intelligence and NFTs, was Nicosia after Türkiye.

Technology enthusiast children, adults and invited guests attended the workshops held at Grand Pasha Hotel on December 24-25, 2022.

As part of the Tanışkan Project's Nicosia workshop, children and adults alike produced artworks and digital content in Turkish using new technologies such as NFTs, which have grown in popularity recently.

ART SHAPED BY TURKISH

In the separate workshops organized for children and adults, participants revealed their creative artistic ideas by creating new stories in "Turkish" through the space they created through new technologies such as artificial intelligence.

Participants interested in technology who came together in the workshops learned how to write prompts, which is the equivalent of "input" in AI terminology, after receiving information about the production of digital content through artificial intelligence. After writing prompts, participants prepared digital content for themselves and for other participants.

YUNUS EMRE'S VALUES ARE DEPICTED WITH ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE

The workshop continued by examining sample digital content prepared based on phrases from Yunus Emre's verses, after which the participants produced new digital content by transferring the words and meanings of Yunus Emre's verses to artificial intelligence in their own way.

TURKISH WILL BE "ACQUAINTED"

The Tanışkan Project will also play an important role in teaching Turkish idioms and proverbs in the field of Turkish as a foreign language.

Idioms and proverbs will also be fed into artificial intelligence in the workshops of the project, which will be held around the world, allowing for Turkish language teaching in an interactive environment.

DIGITAL ART CONTENTS TO BE SHOWCASED IN THE DIGITAL CULTURE CENTER

Thanks to the advanced digital infrastructure of Yunus Emre Institute, Turkish digital content produced at the end of the workshops will be exhibited in the "Digital Cultural Center", which was prepared using modern technological facilities and is the first digital cultural center in Türkiye.

TANIŞKAN EXPANDS TO THE WORLD

Yunus Emre Institute, which carries Yunus Emre's philosophy and Yunus' language of love, Turkish, to different parts of the world through large-scale projects, will carry out the workshops of the project launched in Türkiye in different countries, especially Western European countries, following the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus.
