ACTIVE CITIZENSHIP AGAINST CLIMATE CHANGE AND LIFE STYLE CHANGE AWARENESS PROJECT

ACTIVE CITIZENSHIP AGAINST CLIMATE CHANGE AND LIFE STYLE CHANGE AWARENESS PROJECT

THE GOAL OF THE PROJECT:
The effects of global warming seem to increase in intensity in the 21st century. But human beings are not prepared for climate change, and we also don't have much time to put a stop to climate change.
The concentration of gases such as carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide and other gases in the atmosphere is increasing due to the increase in the consumption of fossil fuels, the rapid change in the population and the increase in the consumption trend in societies. This change in the atmosphere causes the greenhouse effect to increase on the world. As a result, the increase in the greenhouse effect on the world has been given to the opinion that it is the main factor that creates global warming. Changes in climate are of great importance for people to continue their life activities.
Combating climate change is among the main priorities of the EU and Turkey. Turkey is among the countries where the effects of climate change pose a high risk due to its geographical location and increasing urban population, rapidly growing economy and imported energy requirement. Three quarters of greenhouse gas emissions, which have been on the rise since 2000, come from the energy sector and fuels used in industry, transportation, buildings and agriculture.
With the perspective of adult education and lifelong learning, we aim to train ecological leaders with the aim of developing and disseminating awareness with change participation, entrepreneurship on the basis of combating climate change, development of digital skills and lifestyle change through NGO-universities and private sector actions. In this context, it is aimed to develop high-quality learning opportunities suitable for the needs of low-qualified adults in order to gain literacy and entrepreneurship skills through the recognition of green skills.
The project will be tailored for adults, promoting social cohesion, enhancing abilities and taking into account their specific needs/concerns. We aim to offer new learning approaches through a participatory, motivational process that develops key competences with a long-term impact on European active citizenship for sustainability.
