Within the scope of the European Week for Waste Reduction, awareness-raising training sessions will be organized for one week at the Vocational Training Courses of Osmangazi Municipality, covering topics such as the environment, energy efficiency, climate change, waste reduction, reuse, recycling, and sustainable consumption. Through this training program, it is aimed to increase participants’ awareness of the environmental impacts of their daily activities and to enhance their understanding of the protection and efficient use of natural resources.

Throughout the training sessions, particular emphasis will be placed on preventing and reducing waste at its source, reusing products that are still suitable for use, properly separating recyclable waste, using energy and water resources efficiently, and developing environmentally friendly consumption habits. In addition, the causes and impacts of climate change, the role of individual consumption choices in determining the carbon footprint, and the importance of sustainable lifestyles in combating climate change will be addressed.

Through these activities, it is intended to strengthen participants’ sense of environmental responsibility, encourage them to apply the knowledge gained in their daily lives, and promote lasting environmentally friendly behaviors. In this way, the project aims to contribute to the wider adoption of reuse, recycling, resource efficiency, and conscious consumption practices across society, while increasing public awareness of the importance of building a more livable, resilient, and sustainable future.
