On 8 October 2026, Aitkulova Kuralay Ongarovna, a lecturer in the Department of Social Sciences, Humanities and World Languages at METU University and the group’s curator, held a roundtable discussion entitled “Family as a National Value” with students from group Тур-26-1.3к. The meeting aimed to deepen students’ understanding of family values and encourage respect for parents and care for loved ones. Its central themes included upbringing within the family, mutual respect, trust and continuity between generations. The roundtable focused on the family’s role in shaping individuals, preserving national traditions and passing them on to future generations. Topics included responsibility towards family members, respect for older people, care for younger family members, and the importance of understanding and support in everyday relationships. The educational value of the meeting lay in connecting family values with practical actions. Showing consideration for loved ones, appreciating parents’ efforts and fulfilling personal responsibilities are meaningful ways to put these values into practice.

The event formed part of the department’s student support and mentoring activities aimed at fostering ethical awareness and personal development. Such meetings encourage students to connect the values learned within their families with respectful conduct and civic responsibility in the wider community.
