First of all, this project has done a lot for me. It raised my awareness. I improved myself by adding new things to my knowledge. For this project, I did a lot of research on environmental policies and presented it to our friends in Portugal. Taking responsibility on myself made me feel mature, so I tried to do as well as I could. I had fun surprises in the online class. We had a quizz contest. As for the photography competition, it made me feel like I was one with nature. It was relaxing. I took the photos not to win but for fun. We had congresses with the help of Atakum and İlkadim municipality. My teacher recommended Canva to make these presentations. It allowed me to make my presentations in a creative way. It is really a great website. These were what this project contributed to me. Thank you.

The part of researching and presenting environmental policies not only provided us with course content, but also increased our awareness of environmental awareness and sensitivity to global problems. This type of work allowed us to not only gain theoretical knowledge but also focus on real-world problems.Online courses and quizzes reflect the important role of today's technology in education. Online learning platforms have made learning experiences more impressive by providing us with flexibility and ease of access. Quizzes helped us reinforce what we learned and evaluate our knowledge.Photography competitions and congresses helped us develop our creativity and leadership skills. While photography competitions allowed us to visually express our awareness of the environment, congresses allowed us to improve our research and presentation skills.Finally, our use of Web 2.0 tools (e.g. tools like Canva) has made our projects more attractive and impressive. These tools have offered us a more creative and professional approach to creating and delivering content.When all these components came together, it was possible for us to have a versatile learning experience and gain various skills.

Thank you.

The contributions of this project to me are countless. Thanks to the presentations we made to our friends in Portugal, my oratory and speaking skills improved and i started making presentations with more confidence. Going to Portugal and making friends there socialized me even more and also improved my english in terms of speaking. It was a really nice experience. Portugal was very beautiful.🫶🏻

Hello everyone,

1) Portugal and Turkey Mobility: The mobility experience was enriching, offering insights into different cultural perspectives and approaches to environmental issues. I love Turkey very much. The people, the culture, the food...

2) Logo Preparation: The logo creation process was collaborative and allowed us to visually represent the essence of our project effectively.

3) Researching and Presenting Environmental Policies: Delving into environmental policies provided a deeper understanding of global initiatives and how they can be applied locally.

4) Online Lessons: The online lessons were convenient and well-structured, making it easy to grasp complex environmental concepts and engage with the material.

5) Quizzes: Quizzes were a great way to reinforce learning and assess our understanding of the topics covered in the project.

6) Project Anthem: Creating the project anthem fostered creativity and a sense of unity among participants, instilling pride in our collective efforts towards environmental awareness.

7) Photography Competition: The photography competition encouraged us to explore and appreciate the beauty of nature while highlighting environmental issues through visual storytelling.

In my opinion, the project proved to be very interesting, challenging and exciting for all participants.

I hope that projects and initiatives like these will be repeated again. This one will undoubtedly remain in my heart forever. 🇵🇹🌿🇹🇷✨️

While doing these, I prepared presentations using many web2 tools and presented them online. Of course, it was a better feeling to meet face to face and interact with students. Thanks to this project, I both improved my English and socialized.

Finally, this project showed me that I have talent in different areas that I was not very confident about. Thanks to the photography contest - and with the support of my teacher - I found out issues that needed to be raised awareness in our country and took photographs on this subject. All of these helped me a lot and gave me an experience that I will never regret.

Thank you for everything 🫶

from the moment the project first started. Writing the project anthem and designing the logo was a lot of fun. Thanks to the presentations we made, my self-confidence improved. It was a very nice experience to move to Portugal. It was very nice to host our guests from Portugal and show them our culture. To summarize, I am very happy and proud to be in this project. I hope we all protect the green throughout our lives.

I am very happy to have been involved in this project since the beginning. First of all, I made new friends, my communication with people improved, I learned to produce ideas quickly, and I improved it even more while preparing many posters about the project on Canva. We participated in different competitions on this subject and we felt ourselves as a team. Apart from this, we made presentations, posters and research about our project, which improved us. We used web2.0 tools while doing these. We took photos about our project topic and our environmental awareness improved. We learned about each other's different cultures together with our project partners. This project obviously improved our experience and thank you for everything
