Mevlana Week –What comes to your mind when said “Mevlana”? (Social Sciences )

The Turkish philosopher Mevlana Celaleddin Rumi was an Anatolian holy man who gave hope and inspiration to humanity.  Mevlana is included in the 7th grade curriculum as a topic but this time was memorialised with the painting contest within the Mevlana Week.Our students reflected what came to their minds when said Mevlana and whatever they understood from his philosophy to their paintings and sketches.

Come , whoever you are, come

Either exist as you are, or be as you look

Have seen Many People that dont have any clothes on. Have seen Many Clothes that dont have any people in. Mevlana Celaleddin Rumi
