The project brought together partners from different countries, each with their own approaches to environmental protection and sustainable development. As volunteers of NGOs, we shared a common understanding of the importance of sustainable development and environmental protection. Turkey was selected as the location for the project due to the environmental pressures it was facing, such as population growth, industrialization, and rapid urbanization, which led to challenges such as climate change, desertification, deforestation, water scarcity, nature degradation, and marine pollution. During the project, we focused on various sustainability issues, such as reducing emissions, proper waste management, urban regeneration, renewable energy, zero waste movement, and sustainable housing. Through our activities, we aimed to save resources, reduce pollution, and contribute to reverting climate change, which would have a positive impact on communities' daily lives. The project participants contributed to improving the quality of the activities through their experience, skills, competences, and views, and shared their knowledge of environmental issues and sustainable development to ensure a successful exchange of best practices that could improve the environmental situation in the participating countries at the local level. One important activity that we planned was a cleanup activity to remove garbage that had accumulated in a specific area, as we aimed to reduce the amount of waste produced by humans. We shared the practice from Latvia on how social capital can be used to improve the quality of the surrounding environment. Furthermore, we believed that the project could contribute to the European Commission's strategic long-term vision for Europe to lead the transition towards a climate-neutral economy by 2050. We aimed to promote sustainable lifestyles among participants and other stakeholders. The main goal of the project was to raise awareness among young people about environmental issues, climate change, and sustainable living. To achieve this goal, we set the following objectives: exchanging best practices and creating new ideas to reduce the impact of human activities on the environment, exchanging information, knowledge, and best practices on ways to protect the environment and contribute to sustainability, promoting awareness among young people about sustainable lifestyles and mindsets, promoting social capital through youth initiatives, and promoting the Erasmus+ program.
