The “Sustainable Upcycling: Art and Design Workshop Series”, organized in collaboration with Istanbul Aydın University, Anadolu Education and Culture Foundation (AKEV), İleri Adımlar Association, Yeşil Vatan Platform, and the IAU Sustainability Coordination Office, brings participants together to promote an environmentally responsible production approach.
The workshop program aims to increase awareness of recycling and upcycling, support a culture of sustainable living, and develop participants’ creative design skills through hands-on practice.
