As TED Istanbul College Foundation Private High School Science Department, we are planning to hold EnvironmenTED, which was organized with the participation of the schools from Istanbul last year, for the second time this year. In addition to the schools in Istanbul, other TED schools in Turkey will also be invited to EnvironmenTED Istanbul 2012 event.

The theme of EnvironmenTED Istanbul 2012 will be the “Sources of Livelihood and Environmental Problems.” The participating schools are expected to investigate the effects of the below-listed main sources of livelihood on the environmental problems we are facing.

• AGRICULTURE AND ANIMAL HUSBANDRY
• Fishery
• Agriculture
• Feed Factories
• TOURISM
• Yacht Tourism (Marinas)
• Hotel Management
• INDUSTRY
• Textile
• Leather
• Paper and lumber
• Cement

The event is intended to create a platform for the secondary school students where they will be encouraged to put their environmental learning from Science classes into practice, to search for the reasons of the environmental issues around them and to produce solutions to the problems. Such an activity will also remind the students that the scientific knowledge is not limited to the classroom and it can be used to solve any problem encountered in daily life.

TED Istanbul Environment Workshop will take place with the participation of 10 students and 1 or 2 teacher(s) from each school.

We would be happy by your attendance at EnvironmenTED Istanbul 2012.

The applications will be made online from EnvironmenTED Istanbul -2012 link on our website.
