As part of World Environment Week, the exhibition, held for the eighth time this year, opened its doors on 7 June with the participation of Clariant employees and their children. Participants gained information about the importance of water and seas, global water resources and water pollution through workshop activities. The workshop received visitors between June and November 2018 with the aim of raising awareness about the protection of the marine environment. The project, with the main theme "The Journey of Water," primarily aimed to emphasize the importance of protecting water resources and seas by utilizing various methods to reduce water footprint. The event hosted a total of 1,450 visitors from state and private schools, summer schools, municipalities and various institutions and organizations. Learning and entertainment proceeded hand in hand through interactive puzzle games. Within the scope of the workshop, TURMEPA representatives, with approximately 10 volunteers, provided ninety-minute training sessions to children and organized workshops. Participants also learned about the journey of water and water footprint while spending enjoyable moments with interactive puzzle games.
