EMU Swap & Save: Building a Sustainable Campus Culture

 On June 3, 2025, the students of ARCH 320 – The UN Sustainable Development Goals: An Interdisciplinary Approach for the Future of Our Planet, under the guidance of Prof. Dr. Şebnem Hoşkara, successfully launched the EMU Swap & Save event in front of DAUSEN Local Café. This initiative invited the EMU community to participate in a goods exchange based on the principles of Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle, encouraging more mindful consumption habits. Students, staff, and visitors engaged by bringing items they no longer needed and swapping them for useful ones, reinforcing the values of circular economy and sustainable living. The event promoted SDG 12 (Responsible Consumption and Production) while supporting SDGs 4, 11, 13, and 17, and served as a vibrant example of how small, community-driven actions can lead to meaningful environmental change. Thank you to everyone who joined us in taking a step toward a greener future! 🌎💚

International Day for Biological Diversity – May 22

Nature is not a resource — it’s a partner in our survival. This year’s theme, “Harmony with Nature and Sustainable Development,” reminds us that true progress means living in balance with the ecosystems that sustain us.
🌍 Biodiversity is the heart of sustainable development — from food security and clean water to climate resilience and human health.

World Climate Change Day | 15 May

The climate is changing — so must we.

But change is still possible. Through bold action, green innovation, and global solidarity, we can build a more resilient and just world.
