Interest of Turkish-Origin Children Raised in Multicultural Environments in Germany towards Turkish Language Written and Visual Media

Summary/Abstract: The interest of Turkish-origin children raised in multicultural environments in Germany in Turkish-language written and visual media is shaped by their efforts to maintain their cultural identity and sense of belonging. These children grow up interacting with both the broad and diverse cultural environment of Germany and Turkish culture. Turkish media supports these young individuals in keeping their sense of belonging alive and sustaining their cultural heritage. The interest of children in media is influenced by the impact of families and their surroundings. Families may encourage Turkish media, believing it will strengthen their children's language skills and cultural identity. On the other hand, the social environment and education system in Germany can either support or hinder the integration of young people into different cultures. Especially with the proliferation of digital media, Turkish-origin youth can easily interact with media and culture from Turkey. Access to Turkish content via the internet increases young people's interest in Turkish media and strengthens their cultural ties. In conclusion, the interest of Turkish-origin children raised in Germany in Turkish media is closely related to their efforts to preserve and maintain their cultural identity. Understanding this interest is crucial for evaluating these young individuals' cultural integration processes and media usage habits.
