A 24-month project co-funded by the European Union and the Republic of Turkey under the scope of “Civil Society Dialogue between EU and Turkey”. The overall objective of the programme was to bring together civil society organisations from Turkey and the EU around common topics, to exchange knowledge and experience, and to build a sustained conversation between the organisations. Specific objectives of the project included the establishment of a sustainable network for the cooperation of Turkish and Greek stakeholders in the field of Education, as well as the promotion of the EU acquis to Turkish society. The project included creation of common Environmental Education Programs focusing on 3 iconic species present in both countries: the Monk Seal (Monachus monachus); the Loggerhead Turtle (Caretta caretta); and the White Stork (Ciconia ciconia). In addition, an educations web site was created, along with three short movies that provide necessary information and knowledge to teachers in order to implement environmental education activities in their classes.
