Project Summary

Our schools have many missions: to ensure that our students live in a healthy environment, to develop innovative, creative and entrepreneurial aspects of environment and nature, to make them environmentally conscious and to make them aware of the future generations of the environment and to make other people aware of the environment and to create awareness.

The aim of our ” Fortune in Garbage ” project;

-To ensure that waste that is thrown into random garbage cans in our schools, streets, towns, and often thrown into the environment is disposed of in place of household ,electronic and other waste,
-Recycling waste using our students ‘ skills and abilities,
-Reduce the amount of waste to be disposed of,
-To understand how developed countries employ recycling and how they make economic gains from waste,
-Energy saving by using our natural resources efficiently.
-Seeing innovative applications based on information and technology on the spot and applying them in our countries,
– To draw attention to global problems,
-Develop intercultural dialogue, develop foreign language skills, assimilate universal values,
-As a student, teacher and community 21. century it is equipped with century skills and to reach the consciousness of living in a healthy environment.

As a result of recycling efforts initiated by our coordinator school last year and tried to make it sustainable, wastes were decomposed in situ. Under the guidance of the teachers, many skills and abilities of the students were discovered. With the help of science and technology, theoretical knowledge that our students have learned in the courses has been transformed into engineering skills by our teachers and functional and useful products have been obtained. With the great admiration and impact of this project, Spain’s Fundación Paternato Avemarano de Granada; Italy’s Itituto Comprivivo “Gabriele Rossetti; Romania’s Colegul National Unirea, Focsani; Hungary’s Szent Imre Kalolikos Éltalános Iskola és Hromkirályokóvoda and Turkey’s Baruthane Middle School Strategic Partnership have entered into Project.

Since recycling problem is an international problem rather than a national problem, our institutions aim to contribute to their institutions and the environment they live in by considering recycling studies, R & D research and innovative practices in EU countries. In addition, a European strategy based on the efficient use of green resources, globalization, innovation, information and technology for smart, sustainable and inclusive growth has led us to this project.

Project participants are innovative, visionary, social responsibility oriented, entrepreneurial 32 branch teachers and 10-15 age group consists of 64 students.
Once our project has been approved, our project coordinators will plan and sign all transactions and activities of mobility abroad. Our project team will first meet with all teachers, students and parents to promote our project, and then they will present our project to the local civil servants, municipal authorities,NGOs, public institutions and organizations.

While our project is being carried out, posters, brochures will be printed and distributed to our students, parents and urban people. Posters will be hung in the most active places of our schools and towns and attention will be drawn to the issue, an international web page called “Fortune in Garbage” (FIG) will be set up. The project logo will be designed. Our project will be shared in e-twinning and international dimension will be added to the project.On the web pages of our schools, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram project accounts will be opened and shared and the studies will be announced in the local and national media. An international recycling symposium will be held in our coordinator school, where our partners will participate.

To see the results of our project, our project team will follow the waste collected by recycling companies and meet with the Environment Department of the municipality.Pre-test-final test survey and interviews will be conducted by local governments to assess the recovery from recycled waste in our schools, homes and towns and to measure public satisfaction in practice.

The project is of vital importance to our town, city, environment and our future, and our project team will tell public institutions and organizations, NGOs, our people and our project. Thus, our creativity will develop from waste and garbage, economic gain will be achieved and our project will gain continuity. Most importantly, as a result of the studies, a clean and livable nature will be left to the future generations.
