As part of the "Ancestral Seeds Meet" project, the delegation from the Osmaniye Youth Center visiting Kyrgyzstan paid a visit to Kyrgyz-Turkish Manas University and met with KTMU Rector Prof. Dr. Alpaslan Ceylan. During the meeting, joint efforts aimed at preserving the shared cultural heritage between Türkiye and Kyrgyzstan, passing ancestral seeds on to future generations, and developing sustainable collaborations among youth were evaluated.

Rector Prof. Dr. Alpaslan Ceylan stated: "This project, which brings the youth of our brother countries together around a common goal, will strengthen friendship, solidarity, and a sense of shared belonging alongside knowledge sharing."

Aiming to protect and preserve ancestral seeds—one of the shared values of the Turkic world—the project goes beyond being merely an agricultural initiative; it aims to contribute to preserving cultural memory, strengthening environmental awareness, and developing youth diplomacy. Within the project's scope, young people will gain knowledge and experience in sustainable agricultural practices while discovering traditional production culture firsthand.

Contributing to carrying values rooted in a shared past into the future, the "Ancestral Seeds Meet" project aims to increase cultural interaction and build stronger bridges of mutual understanding and friendship by uniting the youth of two sister nations around a common goal.
