The model which Association for the Protection and Survival of Habitats (YAŞAD) proposed and succeeded in was designed within the scope of Social Progress Program by South Marmara Development Agency (GMKA).

During the studies aimed to reintegrate disabledchildren into the society, it has been seen that quicker results can be obtained in the rehabilitation works based on communing with nature, attachment to creatures and animals in the nature and to nature itself. With our project team, we started out to make a rehabilitation program that emphasize the concepts of “Together”, “Us”, “Embrace the Nature”, “In natural environment”, “Sharing” and in the end, we succeeded in. We reapplied our model with the professional members appointed by our European partners in Italy, Romania, Portugal, Spain, and Poland. We made them to enter the habitats of living creatures naturally. We made them share each other’s daily life. We provided them with a happy day by taking advantage of drama education in nature and natural environments. Thanks to the natural communication of love, we have seen that our innovative model highly succeeded in and we were very glad for that.We can say that we have exceedingly reached our following goals for the development, learning, and extensification of our project.
