Abstract

During the period that they were active (1932-1951), people’s houses, which can be considered as institutions for public education in its broadest sense, strived for spreading the Turkish culture, strengthening the roots of the Turkish revolution, and promoting national unity. These institutions, which were a place for the intelligentsia and the public to get closer to each other, also played an important role in the realization of Turkish modernization.The People’s House in Kutahya went into action on June 24, 1932 with its divisions of Language, History and Literature, Library and Publication, Representation, Fine Arts, Public Training Centres and Courses, Village Activities, and Social Aid. It is seen that, in that period, people from different occupational groups, Kutahya’s well-known faces and a lot of educators were members of the People’s House. It is understood from the high level of participation that the activities of the People’s House in Kutahya were city-wide. Especially activities such as conferences, concerts, exhibitions drew a great deal of people’s attention. In this respect, it can be said that the People’s House in Kutahya made significant contributions in raising the educational and cultural level of the local people.
