TOSSFED Representatives Visit Our Faculty of Health Sciences

Special Olympics Turkey (TOSSFED) Deputy Directors Murat Ağca, Tamer Uyguç, and Secretariat Officer Ece Tahmaz visited the Faculty of Health Sciences at Istanbul Gedik University as part of a collaboration initiative.

During the meeting, representatives from both our Faculty of Health Sciences and Faculty of Sports Sciences participated. The discussions focused on supporting the health and physical development of athletes with disabilities through sports, as well as organizing awareness and educational activities for their families.

Two key outcomes were agreed upon in principle:

• A panel event to be jointly organized by our Faculty of Health Sciences and Faculty of Sports Sciences, focusing on the development of athletes with disabilities and family education,
• A spring 2026 event, designed as a festival, including competitions for athletes with disabilities from the Istanbul region and comprehensive health screenings.

As Istanbul Gedik University, we strongly believe in the importance of social responsibility, the transformative power of sports, and a holistic approach to health support for individuals with disabilities. We consider this collaboration with TOSSFED to be highly valuable.

Istanbul Gedik University remains committed to supporting inclusive projects that help every individual reach their full potential.
