ENC and Its Partners Have Implemented Erasmus+ Sustainability Project ‘Act for a Better Future’

The European Neighbourhood Council (ENC), in collaboration with the International Studies and Security Studies Association (ISSR-UÇGA), Bodrum Institute, Sustainable Development Association, and FOTOESSA, successfully concluded the Erasmus+ funded project “Act for a Better Future,” held in Bodrum, Turkey, from September 23-29, 2024. This initiative aimed to raise youth awareness of environmental protection and sustainable living by blending theory with practical experiences.

Over the course of the week, 21 young participants from Belgium, Greece, and Turkey took part in a variety of activities organized by the project team. These included workshops on sustainability ethics, the intersection of environment and gender, and the protection of forests and oceans. Participants also explored Bodrum’s cultural heritage through guided tours highlighting the historical contributions to sustainability. The program incorporated daily inclusive and healthy activities, such as walks and morning sports, promoting well-being alongside environmental consciousness.

A key feature of the project was its focus on intercultural exchange. Participants from three countries shared their diverse perspectives and practices, enriching the learning experience. In addition to the educational benefits, the project fostered networking, enhanced communication skills, and provided opportunities for socializing—all of which will support participants in their future careers.
