Within the scope of the Citizenship Children's University project studies, all partners in the project worked with their teams to prepare the FINAL product of the project. Within the scope of the project, we addressed the subject of Citizenship in 6 modules. For each module addressed, experts in their fields provided training within our university. After the training, each project team worked under the coordination of their own teachers and put forward a constitutional study in articles. These collected studies were transformed into a 60-article CHILDREN'S CONSTITUTION study.
