The Turkish School Team worked on the following community-change missions:
Rising Green Deal Awareness
“Everyone wants to beautify the environment they live in and transform it into a sustainable form. People who respect the ecosystem and take care of the living space of all living things are appreciated. So how can we increase the number of these people? Of course, by disseminating the decisions taken as a result of scientific studies. The mission’s social media posts and especially the promotional materials distributed attracted the attention of the public. The thought of “What can I do alone?” in society was replaced by the thought of “There are young people we can stand together.”

Boosting Environmental Responsibility
“As a result of these activities, we were able to create a widespread impact. Ankara Provincial Directorate of National Education shared our activities on its official twitter account as news. We believe that we have achieved our goals on this path we set out as change detectives. The residents of Ortaköy village saw the practices we carried out and started to implement them in their own environment, the curious little ones were impressed by our exemplary behaviour in the primary school where we practiced, and the people who spent time in the picnic areas around the blue lake gained environmental awareness.
