Special SU Green theme
We have a dream...A green dream! Which is about?
*giving a chance to nature to renew itself
*reducing our limitless consumption, reusing disfavoured stuffs, and recycling
*resuming the notion of intergenerational solidarity
*internalizing what we learn about nature while we breath it
*neither worshipping nor enslaving the nature
And we believe while there is life, there is also hope to create these desired future days. If you want to be a part of t
hat dream why don’t you come and be our companions on the way to find the “SUSTAINLAND”?...
Our journey starts in Ankara-the capital city of Turkey. What is waiting for you in here? A brief snapshot on “sustainability” through seminaries, panels by experts and a lot of enjoyable workshops; particular emphasis on the notion of 3Rs: Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle in our trainings. We will see theoretical and practical side of the issue with the creative games. So, be ready to be an active learner and teacher in Ankara...and don’t worry, we will definitely have enough time for fun
Then our journey to the sustainland continues around Mountain Ida, in mythology where Zeus as born, where Homeros referred as “thousand-spring Ida”, where the first beauty contest took place and Hera, Athena, and Aphrodite were complementing the magnificent Ida with their beauties. Mountain Ida, the second oxygen intensive region after the Alps(?),will be waiting us
*to see the all colours of untouched nature
*to feel the fresh cold spring water
*to breath the intoxicated air
*to join the permaculture activities in eco- villages
*to understand how sustainable nomadic “Yörük Turcoman” live on the plateaus of Mountain Ida
*to enjoy being part of the “imece” (working together)
*to walk without stepping on the endemic flora of Mountain Ida
*to listen and feel the story of “Sarıkız “(the local myth) in the fests
*to enjoy the Aegean Sea,
*to taste the authentic Turkish food, and at the end,
*to learn to be the part of nature and to embrace it with care...
Ideal participant : Open to learn, open to share, open to participate, ready for 3Rs and of course ready to enjoy 7/24 without getting tired...
Mountain Ida hides the very antic stories of mankind in its corners. We are going there to give an ear to hear what we should do to pay our ecological debt to nature which has been so generous to us throughout the millennia. We are going there to promise Mountain Ida that our children will be coming to hear the stories like we did. We will find the sustainland in our minds first and realize it in our lives.
