Working in innovative education to develop children’s 5C skills (complex problem solving, critical thinking, creativity, cooperation, communication) for 28 years, Arkki International has the opportunity to share this know-how with the children in Turkey in collaboration with Turkey Design Council. Thanks to Arkki’s cross-disciplinary STEAM approach through architecture and design, Arkki Turkey aims to empower Turkish children with essential 21st-century skills.
