Be?ikta? Heals with Yoga, Sports, Music and Conversations with Expert Psychologist

Be?ikta?
From 24/08/2020 to 30/10/2020
The Be?ikta? Municipality took a new step in the pandemic process and started a series of events titled ‘Anti-stress Movement’ in the previous months, which continued throughout July. In order to prepare Be?ikta? residents for the "New Normal" and minimize possible traumas caused by the quarantine days, Be?ikta? Municipality held activities such as sports, music concerts and yoga, as well as conversations with our expert psychologists in the parks of the Municipality. The Be?ikta?’ Mayor, R?za Akpolat, invited all citizens to take part by saying “For four months, our citizens stayed at home and it inevitably caused some traumas. They need psycho-social support. As local governments, it is our duty to coordinate this process and prepare our citizens for the new normal. Together we will heal and revive. We are looking forward to see all the Be?ikta? citizens at our parks in Be?ikta?.” And the citizens showed great interest in these events. For 4 weeks, thousands of people participated from the activities carried out in compliance with the social distance rules.
