WORKSHOP ACTIVITIES AT THE INNOVATIVE ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION CENTRE

As part of the European Week for Waste Reduction, workshop activities will be held at the Ataşehir Municipality Innovative Environmental Education Centre in line with the theme “Resources Are Not Limitless!”.

“A Green Future with My Cloth Bag” Workshop with Children: With the participation of children aged 7–13, we use our imagination and creativity at the Ataşehir Municipality Innovative Environmental Education Centre to paint and decorate our cloth bags in vibrant colours! By choosing reusable cloth bags instead of single-use plastic bags, we discover the importance of reducing plastic consumption and protecting nature. Our aim is to reduce plastic use, build zero waste awareness and promote sustainable living habits.

Natural Cosmetics and Climate Change Workshop with Adults: With the participation of adults, we prepare our own natural skincare cream at the Ataşehir Municipality Innovative Environmental Education Centre using the valuable ingredients that nature provides! Using plant-based ingredients such as shea butter, mango butter, sweet almond oil and rose oil, we make our own cosmetic product – our own personal care cream. In this workshop, we enjoy preparing our own care product instead of buying ready-made cosmetics, while also supporting sustainable consumption habits. By putting the creams we prepare into reusable glass jars and containers, we reduce packaging waste and bring the reuse and zero waste approach into our daily lives. As part of the workshop, we also aim to raise participants’ environmental awareness through an informative presentation on the causes and impacts of climate change and the importance of environmentally friendly living habits. Our aim is to experience making our own care products with natural ingredients, support conscious consumption and promote a culture of living in harmony with nature.
