Our main idea is using nature based learning and artistic tools as effective tools for teachers, adults, and youth in a non-formal education context. By following this objective, it is coordinating International exchange projects, International training courses, and workshops and nature activities. Specializations are nature based learning, green skills, farming, healthy lifestyle, sustainability, recycling, and artistic tools (creative drama, theatre, photography, video, animation, creative handcraft, and music). The organization believes the importance of non-formal education, sustainability, lifelong learning and our focus are on the following topics: Environmental problems, climate change, rural development, human rights, social exclusion, poverty, democracy, children rights, children violence, children labor, children in prisons and local social other problems. It is located in Antalya, Turkey in a field surrounded by orange trees with primarily local residents who supply us with their homemade food, locally farmed vegetables, fruits , jams and provide employment during our cultural programs to showcase local cuisines and traditional ways of making them. Our structures are mainly made out of locally sourced wood (as much as possible) to fit with our theme of nature and sustainability based activities.
