Great Appreciation for ´Climate Crisis Children´s Painting Exhibition´

The works prepared around the theme 'The Climate Crisis Through Our Eyes' by the students of Enka Schools, Ted Istanbul College, Hisar Schools, Üsküdar SEV School, ITÜ Dr. Natuk Birkan Schools, and Ulus Jewish Schools were appreciated greatly. In today's world, where the climate crisis is increasing day by day despite the awareness levels not increasing enough, the pieces prepared by the students were rather compelling.

The students of the schools attending the exhibition examined in their works the negative effects of the climate crisis and change. The materials used in the three-dimensional pieces drew attention to the issue of preserving nature. The students and administrators of the schools came together for the opening of the exhibition which is one of the best examples of solidarity among schools. The works were interpreted and wonderful friendships were built. The art teachers expressed that the research on the damages of plastic waste on our planet, done together with the students prior to the exhibition preparations, had developed the children's visions. They added that they have regularly informed and advised the students in order that the designs created would be promoting the use of bioplastic products that do not harm the natural ecosystem.

The administrators of the Ulus Jewish Schools that have been hosting this exhibition organized in the framework of the April 23rd National Sovereignty and Children's Day, for 20 years said, "Global warming is the most important problem of our time. We have chosen such a topic because we believe in the importance of raising the highest level of awareness on this issue among the individuals of our future, the children of today. We would like to thank the students who have enriched our exhibition with their creative and striking works, the school administrators, and the officials of Istinye Park."
