Energy Workshops, was designed to raise awareness among 3rd and 4th grade students about clean energy, introduce basic concepts related to renewable energy, wind energy, and sustainability through various interactive activities. These workshops give students the opportunity to experience how electricity is generated from wind energy by building wind turbine models. The activities help students develop design-oriented thinking skills and contribute to raising a more informed and impactful generation on sustainability issues.

As part of the project, which began its field organization in December, the 2023-2024 academic year plan includes conducting seven Teacher Training sessions across seven different cities and hosting 70 workshops in 30 schools. The “Geleceğe Yeşil Işık Yak” project aims to reach 500 teachers and 2,800 students by the end of the academic year, fostering greater environmental awareness and sustainable practices.

The first step of the project was taken in Kırşehir, home to Geycek Wind Energy Plant owned by Polat Enerji. The Teacher Training, held on the evening of Thursday, December 14, was attended by 100 primary school teachers from various schools in Kırşehir. After completing the training, approximately 400 students from 3rd and 4th grades participated in the Energy Workshops on December 20-21. With their curious and excited expressions, these students lit a hopeful green light for the future.

After Kırşehir, the program is set to be completed in other cities including Balıkesir, İzmir, Manisa, Nevşehir, Yalova, and Niğde as part of the 2023-2024 academic year schedule.
