Health Talks - Return to Nature
Start date: Aug 4, 2014, End date: Sep 9, 2015 PROJECT  FINISHED 

Large part of the project consists of outdoor activities and though the activities, active participation will be ensured. The activities will be performed in the district of Edirne. As the concept of nature includes more than forests and woods, the participants will be introduced to the rivers and the green areas in the district and be given a broader idea of nature. Motivation accomplished on environmental problems will be channelled into creating naturalistic conscious. To do this, the partner countries are asked to perform presentations on actual nature problems and solutions. Following the exchange of information and experiences, brain-storming activities will be generated and cooperation among the partners on the accepted propositions will be discussed Edirne, a bridge to Europe in Turkey is capable of making access to the partner countries for further cooperation. The present water sources in the district of Edirne, as well as those in the partner countries allow to work on problems related to water sources, such as water pollution and the effects of water pollution on nature. Observations will be carried out on the natural values in the district of Edirne and the possibility of common observations in the partner countries will be discussed. Cultural exchange between the partner countries will be achieved through evening activities which allow the participants to display their cultural aspects and it will ensure inter-cultural relations.
