Girne Municipality volunteer trainers

Led by volunteer trainers Vijdan Şengör (Theory) and Irene Raab (Practice), the ongoing project provided training to 54 teachers from 6th to 20th of March in 4 state schools within the Girne Municipality boundaries. Upon completion of the project, recycling bins were delivered to the schools involved in the project, namely 23 Nisan Primary School, Karaoğlanoğlu Primary School, Şht. Hasan Cafer Primary School, and Mustafa Çağatay Primary School; focusing on 'reuse', 'waste reduction', and 'papermaking'.

Project Philosophy and Objective

The project aims to critically address the separation created between nature and humans and to imbue individuals with environmental values by describing the necessary perspective with three adjectives; consumer, producer, and derivator.  Teachers receiving certificates are expected to pass on these values to their students within an educational plan. Furthermore, it is planned that recycling-themed exhibitions prepared by students will take place annually in relevant schools after the completion of the project.
