This research was conducted to determine the perceptions of Turkish children in their mind maps at the primary educational level living in the UK and parental views on these perceptions about the children's home country Turkey and the world. For this purpose, case study approach in qualitative research is preferred. The study group consists of 36 children aged 8-10 years and 17 parents living in England, Nottingham and selected through a maximum diversity sampling. As a data collection tool, students' personal information form, interviews made with parents and mind maps for children's perception of the world and Turkey were used. Content analysis is applied to analyse the data obtained from the mind maps. The data were coded for the detected themes and presented in tables with frequency values. In the analysis of the data obtained from the parental interviews, typological analysis was used. Opinions about the subject were given directly, without intervention. As a result of the research, while the Turkish children who live in Nothingham have information about the beauties of their home country and its localities, the Turkish flag, food, politics, the coup and terrorist incidents, their parents reported that they told the information about Turkey to their children and they go to Turkey once a year or once in two years. In the children's mind maps about the world, there is the US President Donald Trump, people with different colours and races, wars, creatures, countries. Parents expressed that they think that it is better to avoid bad information / news sources because the events that happen in the world (war, terror etc.) break the psychology of their children. In addition, children's mind maps for world perceptions are more diverse than the mind maps for perception of Turkey; also the children show bilingual characteristics in their mind maps.
