They also had to present that in the nearby primary schools students but unfortunately due to covid pandemic they couldn't enter the schools. It was our pleasure that our Turkish partners managed to visit a primary school in their area.

Our topic requires multi-stakeholder involvement in order our objectives to be achieved, so open events were organised in partner schools having as main aim to present our new approved project to our students, parents, local authorities and stakeholders. In order to make our project more visible besides presentations, films, etc. we also included some social media events. 

During this month all the vegan eaters celebrate their lifestyle. Do you know what exactly defines a vegan? Is it  way of life based to health claims, environmental claims, or animal protection claims?

It could be based to all these. Veganism is a way of life that eat a plant based diet and excludes all forms of cruelty to animals (and their products) for food or any other purpose.
