Bayır: Social Work should contribute not only to people but also to the environment, which includes living and non-living things

Bayır said that “The International Social Service Federation’s environmental policy recognizes that the world’s natural resources are limited and threatened” and added that due to the occupational ethics, the profession of Social Works does not remain silent nor avoid practice in matters related to natural environment in national and international social service policies and practices. Bayır also stated that the profession of Social Works should contribute not only to people but also to the environment, which includes living and non-living things.

In the exhibition which attracted the interests of both students and instructors, the thoughts of the participants were taken in to consideration and they stated that they would like to clean the places reflected in the photos. Bayır stated that due to intense demand, the project will continue with a waste collection event with the “grab your gloves and come here!”.
