Health and Education Workshop: A Strong Step Toward Social Responsibility and Sustainable Partnerships
Throughout the workshop, discussions centered on social responsibility projects in health, sustainable collaborations in education, and the contributions of local governments. Participants shared best practices from ongoing projects and engaged in group work aimed at developing new opportunities for cooperation.
As part of the program, a technical field visit organized by Başakşehir Municipality enabled participants to observe urban-focused projects on site. In particular, the visit to the Başakşehir Living Lab drew attention with its technology- and innovation-oriented practices. Participants also had the chance to exchange insights while observing the municipality's initiatives.
The workshop not only reinforced Bezmialem Vakıf University's deep-rooted legacy and vision of contributing to public health but also provided a solid foundation for sustainable partnerships to support future projects.
