Celebrating Turkish Language and Culture at the Pazar Festival

We are proud to have participated in the Turkish Pazar Festival at Queen Victoria Market on 11–12 April, where we showcased and promoted Turkish language programs across our VSL centres.

This wonderful achievement was made possible through the collaboration and dedication of our Turkish teachers, VSL staff, and Area Managers. Their enthusiasm and teamwork brought our stand to life and created a welcoming space for the community.

We were also honoured to welcome the Turkish Ambassador and Consul to our stand, making the occasion even more memorable.

A special thank you to our students from across different centres, whose pride and engagement made a lasting impression—from vibrant traditional folk dance performances to VCE students confidently sharing information with visitors.

We are grateful to everyone who contributed to this meaningful celebration of Turkish language and culture.
