We held the Online Launch Conference of our Environmental Literacy Networking Project on July 1st with the participation of 86 representatives from 64 different NGOs and six different local governments.
With the Environmental Literacy Networking Project funded by the European Union and implemented in partnership with Kyoto Club, we are establishing the Environmental Literacy Network, a communication network in environmental education.
Environmental Literacy Network (ELN) is being established to contribute to the increase of “globally literate” individuals who research and implement ways to live more harmoniously with nature.
ELN aims for NGOs, civil initiatives, and local governments to join forces in environmental education, improve their educational and institutional capacities, and contribute to developing ecological literacy by organizing training and advocacy activities.

Who can join ELN?
ELN is open to all associations, foundations, civil society networks and platforms, professional organizations, city councils and local governments that organize, aim to organize, or work in areas that can contribute to training and awareness-raising activities in the field of environment and climate change, support the purpose of the establishment of ELN, and primarily operate in Ankara, Balıkesir, Çanakkale, Gaziantep, Hatay, İstanbul, İzmir and Mersin.
