Training Goal

The goal is to teach the importance of water in ecosystems and the need to preserve clean water resources for human health. This training raises awareness on water cycles, water pollution, water conservation, and sustainable water management, encouraging participants to use and protect water resources consciously. It also highlights the positive effects of water conservation on ecosystem health and human life, fostering social responsibility.

The training is open to institutional collaboration (packages for companies/organizations) and individual applications are not accepted. The training content can be restructured according to the corporate profile and needs of participants. Upon mutual agreement, the scope of the training and method (In-person, Online) will be defined, and the relevant processes will be completed. If an agreement is reached, suitable days and times for your institution's participants and instructors, as well as the location of the training, will be determined.
