Memoirs of a Village Institute Student

What makes lives different from each other is the uniqueness of memories, the uniqueness of experiences even if they are based on a common culture. This situation becomes even more evident with the expression language used when putting it on paper and the personal transfer of emotions and thoughts. Village institutes, which were implemented as a national development and enlightenment project for the young Republic of Turkey, were a unique life experience for future generations through both village children and teachers trained there. The effects of the village institutes' approach, which focuses on people and does not ignore nature and the living world, left deep traces throughout the country. Teacher, writer and educator Hacı Angı is one of the people whose life was shaped by the education he received at İvriz Village Institute. He tells, in his own unique language, his experiences, from his childhood to his entrance to the village institute, from his student and teacher years to his publishing years. In Memoirs of a Village Institute Student, we are faced with fluent, sometimes story-like memories that open to the common world from the windows of both a village child and a teacher, and also contain social and cultural observations.
