Education Project
This is our main long-term project.
Project has started from making informative materials like brochures, displaying films in schools and universities, and organizing informative weeks in schools.
It is focused on developing Bioethics program for children in primary and secondary school. This was partially achieved in 2009 when bioethics program was taken as additional subject for one semester in 5-8 grades of a local school. The total program is aimed for children and youth, as well there additional materials for youthworkers and teachers.
The main purpose of Bioethics program is to develop an understanding of social problems, the concepts of ethics and mutual assistance, social life, and environment. We are working on education programs and our goal is to spread and publish them:
- Get New Habits – guide

- Additional materials for youth workers and teachers
- Workshops
- Informal methods
- Studies in schools
