GIMDES continue to give seminars in Imam Hatib Schools of Turkey.
As part of a its social program for promotion of Halal and Tayyib, GIMDES organize lectures and seminars in universities throughout Turkey.
New generations will face more difficulty in finding reliable food and that is why GIMDES try to enlighten the would-be-scientists of future so that they can work on fields that are important for the Muslims.
In addition to Universities, GIMDES now organize seminars for students of Imam Hatib schools regularly. The last seminar was given last week by Eng. A. Aksel in one of the biggest schools in Istanbul and it is aimed by GIMDES to give at least one seminar a week.
The following basic topics are given at the seminars:
1. Importance of Halal certification
2. Problems in Complex food production
3. Problems in Meat and Dairy products
4. Problems in ingredients and raw materials
5. How to be a good consumer
6. Dominance of West on consumer behaviour and products
7. What to do to serve People and Muslims : open up your mind; don’t be led by the media
Imam Hatib Schools are actually religious vocational high schools that give both religious and contemporary education . Some years back, graduates of Imam Hatib schools were only permitted to enter Faculty of Islamic Sciences but recently the Parliament passed a law that enable graduates of such schools to choose any field for higher education in University including medical sciences, law and engineering. This move has yielded a tremendous demand for these schools because students have the facility to learn both their religion and modern sciences as well as learning Qur’an, Arabic and English.
