Mobilizing Students for Sustainable Rural Development Projects
Our university believes that rural life, being one of the fundamental pillars of ecological sustainability, should be embraced in all its components, including agriculture. In this context, our students and academics are provided with opportunities to experience sustainable rural development practices firsthand. Within this framework, villages where the Hüsnü M. Özyeğin Foundation has implemented rural development programs in Bitlis and Kilis are visited. During these visits, support is provided to meet the material needs of village schools. In the forums organized during these trips, our university students discuss career planning with the children and youth attending these village schools.
