Environmental education initiatives in Turkey
Overview
Educational programs focused on environmental awareness and sustainability have been implemented across various Turkish provinces. In Kırıkkale, students from Şehitler Secondary School visited a modern solid waste sorting and recycling facility to observe mechanical processes for separating plastic, glass, metal, and paper. The initiative, organized by the Kırıkkale Municipality Zero Waste and Climate Change Directorate, aimed to demonstrate how waste is transformed into raw materials and to emphasize reducing carbon footprints.
In Kahramanmaraş, high school students participated in the ‘Nature and Livable Environment’ competition, which addressed topics such as ecological balance, zero waste, and environmental pollution. Meanwhile, in Diyarbakır, Alakoç Kindergarten has adopted a nature-based education model. This approach includes outdoor learning, gardening with heirloom seeds, and a circular system where food scraps are used to feed poultry, which in turn provide natural fertilizer for the school.
