Eylül Çekirge

I was born in the capital of Turkey in September 1992, and was named after the month I was born in. My great fascination in fairytales and nature as a child, in time evolved into a much stronger and more mature interest in literature and philosophy.

As my political and societal awareness expended I started conducting voluntary work; by working with children with cerebral palsy (for 2 years) and by working as an intern in UN High Commissioner for Refugees - Ankara. I can say that these were the two important involvements that later made me go to University of Nottingham to study Law LLB in 2010.

After a year of studying foundation and a year of studying Law, I changed my major to Philosophy, and I am currently a second year student in University of Nottingham.
