Erasmus+ Youth Exchange

Dates:5 - 12 October 2023

Location: Antalya, Turkey

Water scarcity stands out as one of the biggest problems experienced by the whole world. Contrary to popular belief, Turkey is not a water rich country but “water-strapped country, even though 519 thousand m3 of water is falling per capita.
In light of these facts, the project’s objectives are, amongst others:
-To increase awareness of environmental protection in societies,
-To improve the working quality and networks of non-governmental organizations working on the protection of the environment,
-To raise awareness of societies in combating water scarcity and drought,
-To draw attention to the world water day
-To carry out an international campaign to draw attention to drought and water scarcity,
-To support the work of non-governmental organizations in combating water scarcity and drought,
-To support increasing international cooperation in combating water scarcity and drought,
-To support the European Union Right to Water Movement (Right2water Movement),

About the organisers

Green Art is an informal youth group consisting of young people living in Antalya, Turkey, studying in various departments at Akdeniz University (English Language and Literature, Psychology, Law, etc.) and participating in many local and international volunteering projects as leaders, facilitators and participants. As Green Art, we aim to raise awareness of protecting nature in a way that will attract the attention of all people, especially young people, through art, and we organize activities in this direction.
