The colorful world of Canberk is waiting to be discovered in Ulucanlar Semi-Open Prison Art Street. Canberk, who has Down syndrome, is greatly admired for both his special talent and his always smiling face. Canberk, who uses crayons freely and devotes himself to art, is the apple of his family's eye... Canberk, who receives great support from his mother Neşe Akal and his aunt Nilgün Akal, is a child full of love and effort... Canberk, who says "Taking interest in art makes me feel good, I believe that colors have the power," shines around with his life energy. Demirel once again reminds everyone that the real obstacle is in the hearts. 
“I would like to THANK VERY MUCH TO ALTİNİĞ MUNICIPALITY AND OUR MAYOR FOR GIVING ME THIS OPPORTUNITY” 
Demirel, who turned to art upon the advice of his doctor, discovered Ulucanlar Art Street and the art workshops there, with the efforts of his mother and aunt. Demirel, who had the opportunity to improve himself thanks to the instructors there, said: "I discovered Art Street a few years ago. I attended woodworking, tile, marbling and painting courses here. The workshop instructors found me successful and with their support, I opened my first solo group exhibition. I used my own colors, as I felt like, and prepared fine and small detailed works with patience. My determined and patient behavior won the appreciation of my teachers. I always felt the trust and support of my teachers in me. After the exhibition, I opened my own workshop. "I had a dream to open one, and this dream came true. I am very happy to share the same street with my teachers. I was also a trainee on this street. I would like to thank Altındağ Mayor Dr. Veysel Tiryaki."
“I WANT CANBERK TO BE A ROLE MODEL FOR INDIVIDUALS WITH SPECIAL NEEDS”
Mother Neşe Akal said that her perspective on life changed after she discovered her son's interest in painting. Akal expressed his feelings with the following words: 
"My son, Canberk, has special needs... Then he started suffering from epilepsy. His doctor asked us to find an occupation for Canberk. He first started painting mandalas. After examining the paintings with my sister, we realized that Canberk achieved harmony and harmony between colors. So, we thought that it would be good for Canberk to turn to art. We were in search of Canberk. Following the recommendations from our friends, we learned that there was an Art Street in Ulucanlar. Canberk loved the environment here, attended many courses and was successful in the courses. I want families of individuals with special needs, like Canberk, to discover their children's strengths and support them. I want Canberk to be a role model for individuals with special needs.

Stating that Canberk has been interested in painting for 10 years, his aunt Nilgün Akal said, "Canberk is a very determined, patient person who does not know how to give up... He paints for hours without getting bored. The more he paints, the more relaxed he becomes. After he started painting, we started to see serious changes in Canberk. Most importantly, his stress decreased. He gained self-confidence. He developed patience, care and a sense of accomplishment by using colors in his own unique way. This determination and success of his makes us very happy. Canberk's cousins always love him." "We all expected that his successes would be noticed. Thank God, he was rewarded for his efforts. We would like to thank Altındağ Municipality for their support."
“OUR CHILDREN WITH DOWN SYNDROME ARE NOT LESS THAN US…”
Altındağ Mayor Dr. emphasized that they are working with all their strength to make all individuals' dreams come true in Altındağ. Veysel Tiryaki said, "We were very happy to know Canberk. He spreads joy to everyone in his workshop here, everyone loves him very much. The positive progress he has made is also very pleasing... I have no doubt that I will take it even further. Our children with Down syndrome are no less than us, in fact, they are much ahead of us with their imagination and sensitivity. I hope we will enable all our children, especially our children with special needs, to walk confidently into the future..."
