The Manavgat Sorgun Beach and Picnic Area came alive with the event organized under the “Youth For Sustainable Future In Tourism” project. This activity, conducted with the participation of university students, contributed to the development of environmental awareness and responsibility.
Manavgat Sorgun Beach and Picnic Area came alive with the "Youth for Sustainable Future in Tourism" project! This inspiring event brought together students from the Manavgat Faculty of Tourism, Manavgat Faculty of Social and Human Sciences, and Manavgat Vocational School. By working together to clean the beach and picnic areas, the students not only enhanced environmental awareness but also built a strong sense of community and shared responsibility.
Participating in this initiative had profound social and psychological benefits. The students bonded over a common goal, forming new friendships and strengthening existing ones. The sense of achievement from making a tangible positive impact on the environment boosted their self-esteem and instilled a sense of purpose. Competitions with prizes for the most trash collected, the most recyclable materials gathered, and the most interesting piece of trash found added an element of fun and motivation, enhancing the overall experience.
Additionally, planting colorful flower seedlings allowed students to contribute to the beautification of their surroundings, fostering a deeper connection to nature and providing a lasting reminder of their positive impact. The day concluded with joyful games like volleyball, dodgeball, and football, offering a perfect balance of work and play.
This event not only helped our youth develop greater awareness of environmental protection but also promoted mental well-being, teamwork, and community spirit.
