Objectives

This project aims to have young people explore and compare sustainability practices in education in Türkiye and Germany. Another aim is to raise young people's awareness of sustainability within the framework of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG 4.7) and the European Green Deal, and to connect these global goals to their daily learning experiences. Within the scope of the project, we aim to: - Have young international students observe, analyze, and reflect on sustainability practices in the education systems of both countries. - Have them develop digital skills, intercultural dialogue, empathy, critical thinking, and active citizenship. - Have them make their learning visible through non-formal learning methods such as workshops, digital storytelling, and peer discussions. - Have them develop a Sustainability Action Plan and share their learning with their peers and communities. - From a youth work perspective, the project will contribute to non-formal learning, intercultural exchange, and the active participation of young people, supporting participants not only to learn about sustainability but also to implement and disseminate it within their own contexts.
