The workshops will provide space for them to discover their unique talents and develop them. At Güneşane Farm, which has a self-sufficient and sustainable structure, living in harmony with nature and in a peaceful community is experimented. It is aimed for children to be inspired about ecology and living together in this environment.
Güneşane Foundation
Güneşane Foundation was established to organize summer camps for children with limited access to economic and social opportunities. The headquarters of the foundation is an ecological farm located in Paşaköy, located next to the ancient city of Assos. While agriculture is an activity at the farm, educational activities are also carried out too. In the context of agricultural cultivation, grapes, walnuts, olives and lavender are main grown products. There is an orchard and seasonal kitchen garden to feed the people on the farm. Organic and biodynamic production is carried out without the use of any pesticides, taking into account biodiversity. About education, pedagogues who have adopted the Waldorf approach, volunteer instructors who hold workshops in their fields of expertise, and summer camps including art, sports and agricultural activities have been organized for university students and Darüşşafaka students every year during the summer holidays since 2017. With the support of CultureCIVIC Culture and Arts Support Program, the first step will be taken to make Güneşane a local actor by reaching out to the children in the region where the farm is located.
