Objectives

As İklim Değişikliği Farkındalığı Platformu and our partners, our primary goal by implementing the project was to address and combat the global issue of climate change by bringing together individuals actively seeking solutions. Led by Mehmet Demirci, a dedicated advocate for youth education, the platform conducted research and organized awareness seminars and social media campaigns to draw attention to the urgent need for action on climate change. The objectives of our project can be summarized as follows: +Creating awareness within the green agenda priorities and contributing to the Sustainable Green Europe target. +Creating a "Climate Change Awareness Guidebook" to raise awareness among young people, those in their circle, their families, and their friends. +Developing this guidebook for digital learning, tailored to the needs of young individuals. +Facilitating active participation, idea-sharing, and contribution by the participants to ensure high-quality learning experiences. +Encouraging respect for the environment and promoting cooperation and communication among individuals from different cultures. +Enhancing empathy among participants by highlighting the direct and indirect consequences of climate change on various aspects of life. +Informing and educating the youth about Erasmus+ programs and encouraging their active participation in such initiatives. +Utilizing social media platforms such as Instagram, Twitter and Youtube in order to disseminate information on climate change, human impact, and possible actions that can be taken. +Establishing a sustainable learning environment through the social network created by the people who participated in the project and those who read the "Climate Change Awareness Guidebook". +Sharing the outcomes of the project with organizations working on environmental issues, providing suggestions and recommendations for potential actions to combat climate change. +Promoting sustainable practices about environment and climate change on both local and international levels. All participants from Portugal, Germany, Jordan, Latvia, Ukraine, and Turkey contributed to the project with their valuable ideas, enthusiasm, and motivation to address global issues and find solutions for the climate change issue. In this regard, all of the objectives stated above were successfully accomplished. The activities implemented in the project are as follows: +The Climate Change Awareness Scale (2021) was implemented in 6 countries, and 113 people participated in the survey. +All countries analyzed these survey results. +Participants prepared PowerPoint slides for the survey results and presented these in the project to inform others. +The "Climate Change Awareness Guidebook" was produced to raise awareness among others. +The culture of Ankara and Turkey was introduced to others through a cultural trip day. +Eymir Lake was visited all together, the environment and the forest was cleaned as a group activity with the necessary equipment we brought there. +A presentation introducing climate change was shown to participants to enhance their understanding. +A Climate Change Kahoot quiz was played by participants to assess their knowledge from the presentations. +Group discussions were held on the International Perspective on Climate Change, and the question "Does climate change make you worry about the future?" was discussed. +Brainstorming on how to reduce climate change was conducted as a team activity, and the results were presented to everyone. +Street interviews were conducted by participants in teams, questioning local people around Kızılay about changes related to climate change, their perceptions of how climate change will affect their city in the future, and suggested actions to decrease climate change. +"Climate Change Action in 5 Parts" activity was implemented, discussing actions in daily lives to prevent climate change in the context of "Home, Food, Transportation, Our Voices and Shopping Habits" topics. +Participants created idea boards and presented them to others. +Posters were created as teams to raise awareness about climate change. +Short films regarding climate change were prepared to raise attention and awareness on the subject. +Erasmus+ and Youthpass presentations were conducted to inform participants about the Erasmus program, projects, their purpose, participation opportunities and how to fill in Youthpass certificates. +Cultural Nights were organized, presenting the cultures of six different countries, tasting traditional food and beverages, and experiencing their music and dances. +Intercultural interaction was sustained. +Participants learned to confidently speak their minds. +They actively took part in solving an environmental and global issue. +They learned to be active citizens. +They gained proficiency in ecological literacy, entrepreneurship, and citizenship skills as outlined by the European Commission and the Erasmus+ program for young individuals.
