The mobility in Istanbul brought together students and teachers to explore the theme of Sustainable Agriculture through collaborative workshops, cultural visits and hands-on activities. Throughout the week, participants engaged in learning experiences that increased their awareness of green careers, strengthened their digital skills and encouraged international cooperation.
