Bugday Association For Ecological Living has taken on many projects in the cities- especially Istanbul- to educate the consumers and the successful results these have improved the lives of many people. In the meantime, Bugday also kept its close ties with the countryside; the place to supply our basic needs, which also has the roots of our cultural heritage. Bugday currently supports the countryside through its projects such as: "ecological agro-tourism exchange program", "ecological garden", "e-market", and the more recent "ecological farmers market".

Bugday - with all its resources such as its experience, its local and global network, the accumulated know-how of the its members and partners- is now undertaking a new mission in this fıeld: a new “Ecological Living Practice And Education Center” in the countryside.

This center, which would be impossible to set up in an urban area both materially and physically, will be set up on a large land and will include practices in the majority of subjects applicable to ecological living. This center, which will give emphasis to research and education, will also be a living center with some of its employees residing there. The center will include practices on subjects such as: ecological agriculture and food production, renewable energy technologies, ecological and traditional construction practices, traditional crafts, natural textiles, carpentry, and complementary medicine.

The center aims to cover its expenses through sales of its produce and the fees received for its educational services. As in Bugday, the free flow of information will be a fundamental concept, and knowledge will not be sold for money; only the costs for the appliances used and the education service rendered will be charged for in order to ensure the sustainability of the project.

Bugday Ecological Living Practice And Education Center will be working together with many non-governmental organizations and educational institutions in this center and will provide education to the public as well as training the "future trainers" in ecological living.

From now on please feel free to contact us with your recommendations for the location of the center or any areas of the project you would like to volunteer for. To merely support or hear from the project please give us your name and contact details.

This new project offers practical, human-focused and real life solutions for life as Bugday has been doing in the last fifteen years and Bugday’s vision is to make its extending family stronger and more effective with dedicated individuals through this new project.
