We organized a trip to Aşiyan Museum with our 11th grade students at ERA College. We got to know Tevfik Fikret closely, one of the cornerstones of the Servetifünun Period and Turkish literature. He saw young people as the future and guarantee of tomorrow and addressed them in his poem called Ferda.

The bird they call an insatiable human being is subject to temptations...
Strive, strive, think, seek, find, run, dash, shout; "
