Our project was funded by the Turkish National Agency in 2025. The topic of our project is environmental pollution and awareness.
Our project will contribute to young people becoming socially aware individuals with enhanced individual competencies and self-confidence. Participants from diverse cultures who share common goals and a desire for development in the project will engage in cultural exchange, knowledge, and experience sharing. Through our project, awareness will be raised on global issues such as environmental pollution, and an experiential exchange process will be made possible. Participants, target groups, and relevant institutions/organizations will gain awareness about topics related to environmental pollution, such as the concept of environmental pollution, its types, impact on habitats and the world, and methods to combat pollution. Voluntary activities related to the environment will be promoted. Informative sessions will be conducted on the scale of environmental disasters and effective ways to combat them. Awareness will be created about the necessity for every individual to take personal and societal responsibility during this process. Recycling and waste management will be thoroughly evaluated as part of environmental pollution, actively practiced by participants, and thereby integrated into their daily habits. The damage caused by releasing waste into nature without proper separation will be demonstrated to participants through theoretical and practical applications. The cause-and-effect relationship of environmental damages such as water pollution, soil pollution, air pollution, noise, and light pollution will be perceived by participants. This understanding will guide them in questioning their daily habits. Participants developing sensitivity towards the environment will also become aware of topics such as equality, justice, and tolerance. They will foster awareness to combat discrimination and racism. Participants will enhance their ability to channel individual skills into teamwork. They will gain practical experience in expressing themselves in a foreign language. Participants will better understand the value of voluntary activities. Within the framework of the digital transformation process, they will develop awareness to closely follow technological developments, adapt them to their lives, and utilize them as a tool in achieving their goals. Participants will use art to draw attention to issues, leverage artistic disciplines to support societal development, and discover their artistic skills during this period. They will become individuals who can generate ideas, question, and critically assess events. Our project, by bringing together individuals and institutions from different countries, will contribute to networking, fostering new partnerships and acquaintances, increasing voluntary projects, and involving young people in these projects. Through our project's dissemination efforts, more young people will be enabled to express themselves on global issues, take responsibility, and participate in projects that concern their future.
