THEORETICAL AND APPLIED EDUCATION MODELS

Aegean Forest Foundation’s  Cooperation with Universities- CONTEST

The cooperation of Aegean Forest Foundation and Ege University, Faculty of Communication organizes contests for poster design and commercial  production among undergraduates in the faculties of communication and fine arts in universities in and around Izmir.


Workshop for Disabled Individuals – Nature Training

While it is very easy to have an access to many social activities for certain groups, it is not always possible for the disadvantageous population, most of whom are disabled individuals and children from the orphanage, to participate in many rehabilitation activities in nature.

Aegean Forest Foundation worked to activate the role played by women in rural areas affected by drought in Menderes. It carried out certified training works on “forest and ornamental plant sapling growing and qualified forestry labor”. The local people, women in particular, have been awarded certificates on the forestry and ornamental plant sapling growing and qualified forestry labor.


Aegean Forest Foundation ‘s  Cooperation with  Business World

Posing a risk for future, climate change leads people to choose the companies being solution partners rather than the ones jeopardizing the future of the world. In the process of shifting to sustainable business models, it is important to raise awareness in customers and suppliers. We, as a Foundation, do trainings on sectoral basis.
