PERGEL was implemented within the Girl-Centered Design Working Group during 2022-23 to enhance children’s participation in decision-making processes. PERGEL is an intervention program aimed at supporting socio-emotional development in early adolescence.

The 14-session program equips early adolescents with skills to regulate their emotions and behaviors, make responsible decisions, form positive relationships, effectively cope with challenging situations, and set positive goals for the future. The foundations of PERGEL were laid by a scientific research project funded by TÜBİTAK between 2012-2015 and conducted by faculty members and undergraduate and graduate students from the Psychology Department at Koç University.

PERGEL-T aims to equip early adolescents who have experienced traumatic events such as earthquakes, floods, and other natural disasters with skills to cope with grief, regulate their emotions and behaviors, make responsible decisions, form positive relationships, effectively handle challenging situations, and set positive goals for the future. PERGEL-T is designed to support the positive development of early adolescents and prevent potential problems.

The PERGEL-E program, designed for parents and early adolescents to participate together in problem-solving, was developed, and pilot implementations commenced.

Developed within the framework of the Girl-Centered Solution Circle activities during the 2022-23 period, the Empowerment Through Movement Program aims to support facilitators working with girls in civil society organizations to employ movement and game-based exercises from a perspective of empowerment. This program, designed by the Association of Sports and Body Movement for Social Empowerment (BoMoVu), targets girls aged 15-18.

The program includes modules focusing on health, boundaries, violence, and discrimination. Each module consists of six sessions based on movement and game- oriented exercises.

The Power Sessions Program aims to empower girls aged 14- 18 who are not involved in formal education by helping them learn about their rights and develop skills in self-efficacy, solidarity, organization, and advanced literacy. The program focuses on enhancing girls’ advanced literacy and cognitive/social skills, positively impacting their domestic and external lives, and raising their awareness of gender equality. Ultimately, the program aims to encourage girls to resume their education, continuing from where they left off.

Developed by the Mother Child Education Foundation (AÇEV), the 14-session Power Sessions Program creates an active, participatory, and sharing environment, offering an equal learning experience alongside the girls.

The Living Environment workshop is a program that evaluates children's relationship with their surroundings, their sensory perceptions, the issues they observe, their potential for creating spaces, and their sense of safety and well-being. Implemented by Suna’nın Kızları in Children’s Hubs, this workshop aims to help children analyze the characteristics of their residential areas from their own perspectives. Through mapping and walking activities, the workshop identifies the areas where children can move safely and the services they can access.

The program also considers the emotional aspects of children's relationship with spaces, examining environmental components such as play value and safety. The findings are then used to determine priority intervention areas in residential spaces and contribute to problem-solving through design outputs.

The Together Workshop is an experience designed to strengthen girls' self-esteem and confidence from a gender equality perspective. Participants are introduced to fundamental concepts related to gender and discrimination, helping them recognize where and how these biases manifest in daily life. Through play, the workshop encourages participants to reflect on the impact of gender stereotypes on identities and explore examples of lives beyond these biases.

The Media Workshop aims to support children's participation in children's living centers and make their voices visible. It empowers volunteer child participants by establishing a media club, encouraging them to create content together with their peers.

The Digital Citizenship Workshop aims to help children learn about the concept of digital citizenship, engage in discussions on key topics, and develop their own strategies for handling digital challenges. Within the workshop, children explore subjects such as What is the Internet?, digital footprints, the distinction between private and personal information, cyberbullying, and phishing.

Additionally, they have the opportunity to enrich their screen time by creating their own videos using the Stop Motion film technique. This workshop supports children in using tablets more safely and taking responsibility for their own digital security.

The Peer-to-Peer Learning program aims to facilitate a shared learning experience where children discuss the challenges they encounter or may encounter in daily life with their peers. It also seeks to reinforce and expand the impact of the educational programs implemented for children within Suna’nın Kızları fieldwork.

The program includes a learning material designed to support peer-to-peer learning, facilitated by one child for a small group of 3-5 peers.

Under the Girls Solution Circle umbrella, the Urban Detectives initiative developed a workshop-research method to mainstream the girl-centered design approach. The workshop consisted of four modules where girls, accompanied by a researcher/facilitator, evaluated their neighborhood/district based on their unique needs and well-being. After pilot studies in the field, these developed workshop modules were transformed into a digital guide for implementation.
