💼 What the programme involves
we aim to raise environmental awareness among people in Canakkale and around Turkey and the volunteers that will come here, to understand the fragility of our environment and the importance of its protection..
A good course of action that ensures continued participation is to pick an environmental issue that strikes our community like the most urgent. The amount of environmental issues seems limitless, and while they are all important, it’s easy to get overwhelmed. The volunteers in Canakkale will have a duty to make research among the local people and investigate the city and environment around them. Then together with the team, they will try choosing one issue to focus on at a time.
According to this, we aim to organize campaigns on social media and in public on different topics, organize workshops on how to reuse the materials and to make something from second-hand materials, recycle, decreasing the usages of cars, raising the awareness of using plastic and promote a green life
