Enka Insaat ve Sanayi : Schools Sustainability Initiative

The first of ENKA Schools Sustainability Meetings was held on 19-20 May 2018 on the ENKA Schools Kocaeli Campus. On the first day of the program, Gokce YENİEV from SOIL, Alper AKÇA from AYDER, and Uygar ÖZESMİ from Good4Trust, led students committees in discussions about waste management, human rights/discrimination and prevention of over-consumption. In addition, we hosted various NGOs, including SOIL, AHBAP Kocaeli, Patidaş, Octopus Volunteers, the Stop Women Murders Platform, Children Support Education and Education for All, and Tübitak Animal Experiment Ethics Committee (HADYEK), that added color to our program by raising the awareness of our students and visitors. On the second day of the program, the student committees explained their proposed solutions by presenting their work to the conference visitors. After the closing speech of our school Principal Hüseyin KAYAN and viewing of the event video created by our media team, pine tree saplings were given as a memento gift to our students who participated in the committees. Furthermore, we had fun with the mini-concert performed by the students from our Music Band, which completed this meaningful conference. As ENKA Schools, we will continue to contribute our projects towards a Sustainable World and Sustainable Future.
