While implementing this project, our core approach as the Agricultural Strategy and Policy Development Foundation (TARPOL) was to empower young people not only to learn concepts such as environmental pollution, climate change, and sustainability at a theoretical level, but also to become individuals who can relate these issues to their own daily lives, question existing practices, take responsibility, and show the courage to develop solutions. When designing this youth exchange project titled “Clean World, Bright Future,” we started from the understanding that environmental problems are not abstract or distant issues; on the contrary, they are directly connected to our daily habits, consumption choices, production patterns, and social behaviors. Through this project, which we implemented in Diyarbakır between 8–14 December, we aimed for young people to perceive the environment not merely as a value that needs to be protected, but as a shared living space for which they bear active responsibility. One of the main objectives of the project was to raise young individuals who are capable of addressing environmental pollution from a multidimensional and holistic perspective. In this context, while focusing on different types of environmental pollution such as air, water, soil, and waste pollution, we also examined not only their environmental impacts but their social, economic, and even political consequences. TARPOL’s long-standing work in the fields of agriculture, environment, and sustainable development has shown us that environmental problems cannot be addressed in isolation; they are deeply intertwined with agricultural production, urbanization, consumption habits, and public policies. Therefore, throughout the presentations, group work, and discussions conducted within the project, we particularly encouraged young participants to establish cause-and-effect relationships, think critically, and develop their own solution proposals. The non-formal learning approach adopted in this project enabled young people to move beyond being passive listeners and become active actors in the learning process. Through workshops, small group discussions, case analyses, and creative activities, participants not only acquired knowledge but also had the opportunity to interpret, discuss, and put this knowledge into practice. While addressing the relationship between environmental problems and human activities, we placed special emphasis on encouraging young people to question their own life practices and to recognize their individual responsibilities. This approach was a strategic choice aimed at ensuring that environmental awareness does not remain merely at the level of knowledge, but is transformed into tangible behavioral change. Another important aim of the project was to demonstrate, through concrete and applicable examples, how sustainable lifestyles can be integrated into the daily lives of young people. Concepts such as recycling, waste management, reuse, responsible consumption, and carbon footprint were addressed beyond theoretical explanations, through hands-on workshops and group activities. During this process, participants had the opportunity to evaluate their own consumption habits, become aware of their individual impacts on the environment, and develop practical solutions to reduce these impacts. As TARPOL, we believe that sustainability can only be achieved through the simultaneous advancement of individual awareness and social transformation. Therefore, we aimed for young people to turn the knowledge and experiences they gained not only into personal benefits, but also into tools for change within their communities and living environments. In addition to its environmental objectives, the project also prioritized the development of young people’s personal, social, and citizenship competences. Strengthening key skills such as communication, teamwork, problem-solving, leadership, self-confidence, and active citizenship was considered a natural part of the project process. Bringing together a total of 36 young people from Türkiye, Greece, Italy, and Croatia made a significant contribution to the development of intercultural dialogue and mutual understanding. The sharing of environmental challenges, agricultural practices, and sustainability policies from their respective countries enabled participants to evaluate these issues from a broader perspective. This multinational structure created a valuable learning environment that enhanced young people’s empathy, tolerance, and cooperation skills. Furthermore, the project aimed to foster active citizenship awareness among young people and to encourage their greater involvement in voluntary activities related to environmental protection. The core values of the Erasmus+ Programme, along with the learning and mobility opportunities it offers and the Youthpass process, were explained to participants in detail.
