Students studied on the Blue Planet, which consists of seas and water.
For Blue Future, studies were carried out with our students on protecting the seas and protecting water. In this context, various activities were carried out with 30 students in our project team. All of the activities were implemented with 2050 students in our school. Our project was also compatible with our eTwinning projects and Eco-Schools project.

1. 30 students were selected within the scope of the project. These students were also our students who took part in the Eco-Schools project, Journey of Discovery and eTwinning projects called Environment and Sea.
2. Project information studies the start of project training/activities
1- Establishment of Committees: A Blue Planet Team was formed with the participation of team leader students
2- Environmental Review: Students examine the sea coasts throughout the district. At this stage, the team evaluates the issues they will deal with for 12 months. These are basic issues such as sea, water, coasts, marine life, garbage-waste and energy.
3- Action Plan: By evaluating the results obtained as a result of the environmental review, feasible, realistic goals are set according to the priorities determined, and an activity calendar is created to achieve these goals and improve environmental performance.
4- Observation and Evaluation: It is ensured that the determined action plan is followed by the students and that they are successful in the subjects studied.
5- Information and Participation: The studies and environmental activities are announced to all participants and then to the whole school.
6-Implementation of activities
a) Determining the Blue Planet slogan
b) Introducing the project to teachers (96 teachers in total)
c) Introducing the project to students (2050 students in total)
d) Organizing 10 environmental events on our seashores

30 students were determined within the scope of the project. The selected students serve as a student team. All of the subjects included in the project were conducted and conveyed to the entire school; 2050 students. Our project is related to the issue of water and waste that we have studied in our Eco-School program and our e-Twinning project, for which we have won a National and European Quality Label.
