We were delighted to host the FEJUST Certificate Award Ceremony on October 13, 2023, at the Dr. Çağkan Ubay Meeting Room. This special event brought together professors from the Department of Political Science and International Relations at BAU and the Cifal Istanbul team.
During the ceremony, we celebrated the accomplishments of the FEJUST Project, showcasing the impact of innovative teaching methods like "flipped learning." We also recognized the creative work of our students in producing Participatory Videos and PhotoVoice projects.
The ceremony was not just formal; it was a friendly gathering that encouraged lively conversations between students and professors.
The event began with a presentation by FEJUST Chair, Rahime Süleymanoğlu-Kürüm, who shared insights into the project's achievements in its first year. She also discussed our exciting plans for the future, which include various teaching activities, seminars, workshops, and research projects.
One of the most important moments of the ceremony was when we handed out certificates to students who had excelled in their courses. The results were outstanding, with 25 undergraduate students performing exceptionally well in "Gender in International Development" and 19 students achieving success in "Gender in EU Politics."
In the postgraduate courses, 10 students excelled in "Gender and Development," and 12 students performed exceptionally well in "Gender Politics in the EU." These achievements highlight the positive impact of the "flipped learning" method, which not only helps students gain knowledge but also encourages deep and comprehensive learning.
As we conclude the first year of the FEJUST Project, the achievements and this certificate ceremony demonstrate our strong commitment to advancing feminist perspectives. Looking ahead, we aim to build on these accomplishments, reaching more students and strengthening feminist ideas in academia. Together, we anticipate a future filled with even more significant achievements.
