Empowering Local Communities: EUROSOLAR Türkiye’s Capacity Building Event

October 21, 2024

From October 14th to 18th, EUROSOLAR Türkiye hosted a transformative Capacity Building Event in Taşarası Village. The event brought together community leaders, including the Mayor of Havran, the District Governor, agriculture professionals, and residents, ranging from farmers to local villagers.

This five-day event was packed with activities that kept all attendees engaged and eager to learn. With presentations and hands-on sessions, participants got directly involved, which sparked lively discussions and a keen interest in the topics presented.

Highlights included practical demonstrations like germination tests and a fish anatomy session, which were hits among the attendees. These activities helped bridge the gap between theory and practice, making the learning experience both enjoyable and educational.

Interactive games made complex subjects more approachable and fun, enhancing the learning atmosphere. Feedback from the event was overwhelmingly positive, with many participants appreciating the mix of fun and informative content.

The event’s success was clear from the enthusiastic participation and positive reactions of the community. It showcased the power of educational events to foster community engagement and enthusiasm for sustainable practices.

We look forward to continuing our efforts to support community empowerment through education on sustainable practices and renewable energy.
