Our university Student Societies Coordination and Meram Youth Center organized the ‘Healthy Life and Cycling’ event in order to highlight the importance of sports for a healthy life.

The event, which was attended by approximately 100 cyclists, started at our university’s Köyceğiz Campus.

Speaking at the event, our university’s Health, Culture and Sports Department Head stated that they aimed to use bicycles for a healthy life and increase physical activity with the organized bicycle tour.

Stating that they wanted to raise awareness about public health, İnce said, “With the event, we want to create awareness among our students and the public and give the message ‘join cycling to increase physical activity.’ This event is not one-sided, 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 brought to the status of a typical civil society organization, can adapt to being together with other civil society organizations and that joint action can be taken.”

The event ended with various refreshments served to the participants in front of the Meram Youth Center.
