FROM ROOTS TO THE FUTURE: AYDIN SAPLINGS

The “From Roots to the Future: Aydın Saplings” project, launched in collaboration between the Anatolia Education and Culture Foundation (AKEV), the Istanbul Aydın University Clubs Association, and the Green Homeland Platform, is a sustainable environmental initiative aimed at preserving institutional memory and a culture of gratitude while contributing to nature.

As part of the project, the memories of our faculty members, students, and all stakeholders who have contributed to our university—who were once part of the Istanbul Aydın University family but are no longer with us—are being brought together with nature. At the same time, the project aims to foster environmental awareness among younger generations, support afforestation efforts, and promote a sustainable lifestyle.

“From Roots to the Future: Aydın Saplings” seeks to transform the loyalty felt toward the past into a green legacy extending into the future, aiming to strengthen life, hope, and a sustainable future with every new sapling.
