Türkiye dissemination and local activities

Within our institution, dissemination activities focused on sharing project knowledge, raising awareness, and building capacity among students, teachers, and parents. Workshops, classroom activities, and staff meetings were organised to introduce the project themes of ecology, biodiversity, and ecomusicology. Students participated in practical activities using digital tools, music resources, and environmental materials developed during the project. Teachers exchanged methodologies and interdisciplinary approaches, while parents were informed through meetings and school events. All shared materials and tools were integrated into daily educational practices to ensure long-term use. Ecology carriers for biodiversity were implemented through activities that helped students understand local ecosystems, native species, and the importance of biodiversity protection. Outdoor learning sessions, nature observations, and creative tasks encouraged students to explore the relationship between humans and nature. Music, storytelling, and visual materials were used as carriers to transmit ecological values, fostering respect for living organisms and awareness of environmental balance. Handicraft and waste management were addressed through ecology carriers that promoted reuse, recycling, and sustainable creativity. Specifically at the Salihli Science and Art Center, Visual Arts Workshop. Students worked with recycled and natural materials to create handicrafts, musical objects, and artistic products, learning about waste reduction and circular economy principles. These activities combined environmental education with creativity, helping learners understand how responsible consumption and waste management contribute to environmental protection. Ecomusicology activities explored the connection between music, nature, and environmental awareness. Students engaged in sound recording, music creation, and listening activities inspired by natural environments. Natural sounds, environmental themes, and digital music tools were used as carriers to express ecological concepts through music. This approach supported interdisciplinary learning and encouraged students to perceive music as a medium for environmental reflection and sustainability. Collaboration with Ege University State Turkish Music Conservatory on this subject will continue. The final dissemination event organised in Türkiye brought together students, teachers. The event included presentations of project outcomes, student performances, exhibitions of eco-handicrafts, and demonstrations of music and digital tools used during the project. Participants gained a comprehensive overview of the project’s objectives, activities, and results, ensuring visibility and sustainability of the project outcomes at the local level. General information about the project is still posted on the wall in the annex building of the Salihli Science and Art Center, and dissemination continues. Teachers exchanged experiences with colleagues from neighbouring schools and presented project methodologies that can be adapted to different educational contexts. Digital materials and activity examples were shared to support the wider use of project outcomes beyond the partner institutions. In addition, the 10 students involved in the project gave presentations about the project to eight different schools for dissemination purposes.
