In cooperation with our University Student Societies Coordination Office and Meram Youth Center, the 'Healthy Life and Cycling' event was held to highlight the importance of sports for a healthy life.   The event, attended by approximately 100 cyclists, started at the Köyceğiz Campus of our University.   Speaking at the event, Salih Zeki İnce, Head of Health, Culture and Sports Department of our University, stated that they aimed to use bicycles for a healthy life and increase physical activity with the bicycle tour.   Stating that they want to raise awareness about public health, İnce said, "With the event, we want to raise awareness among our students and people and give the message 'join cycling to increase physical activity.' This event is not one-way, it is an event that shows that people of all ages, from 7 to 70, can do sports. "At the same time, it is an event that shows that our student communities, which we have given the status of a typical non-governmental organization, can adapt and act together with other non-governmental organizations," he said.   Osman Bozdemir, Student Societies Coordinator of our University, stated that such events, which were suspended due to the pandemic, were missed and said, “This is an awareness movement. We are in the days when we need peace, goodness, friendship, environment and nature, and we need to protect nature. "Let's step on the pedals for friendship, peace, brotherhood and a beautiful tomorrow," he said.   The event ended with various refreshments and movie tickets being given to the participants in front of Meram Youth Center.
