Objectives

The background and objectives of our project In recent years, we aimed to help people question their shopping and consumption habits in this period, where rapidly changing and consumption -based social structure directs people to unnecessary expenses. In this context, we aimed to raise awareness of unnecessary consumption by adopting minimalism as a lifestyle of our target audience, especially our participants in our project. The primary goal of our project was to raise awareness of how harmful consumption habits are to the participants and to ensure that they move away from these habits. We encouraged our participants that they live a simpler, conscious life by freeing from material and spiritual unnecessary surpluses. In this process, we emphasized how minimalist life increases not only external but also internal peace. We encouraged the participants to focus not only on what they have, but also to what they need. With our project, we aimed to encourage the participants to lead a more conscious life in line with the teaching of minimalism. First of all, we supported them to learn how to avoid unnecessary expenses contribute to the mental and physical health of the person. In this context, we implemented activities to enable participants to adopt a simpler lifestyle. In addition, we attached importance to the principle of gender equality, which is one of the main objectives and priorities of Erasmus Plus Programs, and provided our participants to gain awareness in this sense. We aimed to provide equal opportunities to each individual participating in the project and to increase the awareness of active citizenship among young people. In addition, in line with the content of our project, we enabled the participants to become aware of their conscious decisions and to adopt a lifestyle that is focused on production and adopts a lifestyle away from consumption. Finally, the general purpose of our project was to show how minimalism philosophy improves the quality of life of individuals, to review consumption habits and to direct people to a more sustainable life. In this way, we aimed to raise a generation that consumes less and produces more and to encourage them to make more conscious decisions in their lives.
