Let’s Begin…• Our intention with this event was to make an impact on peoples’ lives

even with a small event… We tried to create a friendly and warm environment by starting some warm up activities. We proceeded to rather confrontational speeches to balance it out. We divided people into teams to get them familiar with each other for increased performance. Dr. Cengiz Üzün also presented his speech in a very active, theatrical way and thus he made the audience participate in the speeches actively. This raised awareness of what is going on around us, how we are blocked in daily lives while speaking, taking action etc…and we learned how to change these blockages of self and succed in life.Then after a few hours and speeches we reached to the fun part: THE WORKSHOPS where each team worked on their projects and created fascinating solutions to the given problems..

WORKSHOP THEMES:

• EXPO 2020: «Health For All» : This workshop is for contributing to the current candidacy of Izmir to EXPO 2020. The students were asked to design a structure for Izmir, integrate sustainability and the youth to this process and explain clearly how they do this. The final proposed projects were a lot impressive and applicable!

• My Dream Job : The students were asked to define what sort of a job they would like to work in, how would they integrate sustainability & CSR to this job, and how the youth is placed in such a job design. The winning team designed a restaurant structure with a theme of «7 NGOs, 7 concepts» through integrating social responsibility, youth and a very well designed structure to their system.

Intended Results…

• We tried to give the attendees motivation and experience with working in groups, give them information by the experienced people in high places. We also asked groups to present their projects, that way we gave them experience in project presentation.
