Generations moving with nature without being against nature This project was implemented as the first steps of training. . The most important educational tool of nature-based education is "nature". Every living and non-living object found in nature is a part of sensory, cognitive and physical education in children's education. Children like to collect flowers, leaves, and various shells, and the movement of animals in their immediate environment attracts them.

First of all, we ensured that a permaculture seminar was held in our school and we ensured the participation of teachers in our school and teachers from different branches in the surrounding schools. Thus, the teachers at our school became acquainted with the permaculture philosophy. In the 2019-2020 academic year, we started permaculture activities with children studying at our school. Simultaneously, we decided to participate in the StarT Luma contest with our project named "Permaculture - Life in Harmony with Nature" in the category of Best Education Practices under the theme of "Sustainable Development". We gave importance to the fact that our teachers in the project team received Permaculture education first. After the team was formed, we moved to the logo design and training stages of our project. After the training program was determined, we made many educational practices both inside and outside the classroom. The studies conducted within the scope of the education program were categorized as soil, food, energy, shelter, workshops, science-mathematics-technology studies, recycling and trips.
