Objectives

By implementing our project, we primarily aimed to strengthen young people's knowledge, awareness, and capacity for action regarding air pollution. Throughout the project process, we brought together young people from Romania, Turkey, Lithuania, Bulgaria, and Germany, creating a comprehensive learning space on the causes of air pollution, its effects on human health, and its relationship with environmental sustainability. In this way, we aimed to enable participants to more consciously analyze the air pollution problems they encounter in their own countries and communities and to develop solution-oriented thinking skills to address these issues. Among the objectives of our project was to ensure that young people understand the negative effects of air pollution on individual and social quality of life, and to increase their awareness of the consequences of pollutants such as particulate matter, nitrogen dioxide, and ozone on public health. At the same time, we aimed for participants to develop air-friendly lifestyle practices, raise awareness about indoor air quality, and integrate environmentally conscious behaviors into their daily lives. Through practical and participatory activities, we sought to enable young people to plan concrete steps that support environmental sustainability and to disseminate these steps through advocacy activities. In addition, within the scope of the project, strengthening mutual understanding, solidarity, and cooperation among young people from different countries and cultural backgrounds was identified as an important objective. By especially supporting the active participation of participants with fewer opportunities in the process, we aimed to increase social inclusion, reduce prejudices, and encourage equal participation. With our project, we aimed to make young people active agents of change in the fight against air pollution, to foster a shared sense of responsibility toward environmental issues, and to strengthen the voice of young people for a healthier, more sustainable future.
