The meeting was held in the format of project presentations: schoolchildren took turns in the ministerial seats and voiced practical initiatives.

Yusufcan Alp called for lower airfares and increased tourism advertising. Salih Alp spoke about the need for savings and the redistribution of funds to support priority sectors.

Mini-medical centers in villages, strengthening food security, digitalization of government institutions, and investment in transport and infrastructure were the main proposals voiced by the young "ministers." The visit was accompanied by school director Gönül Özalp and teacher Ayşe Yücel.
