In this episode, Defne Gürkan sits down with her close friend and co-founder Derin Erdem for a candid conversation about building a social initiative at a young age, centered around education and environmental awareness. They reflect on the founding journey of Yeşil Dünyamız (Our Green Earth), discussing what they learned through the process and what they would do differently if they were starting again today.
Beyond the initiative, the conversation expands into the education system and the role of creativity within it. Studying Media and Culture, Derin talks about how traditional education systems often lack space for creativity and hands-on learning. Together, they explore what a more creative and community-driven education model could look like, one that prioritizes collaboration and experimentation.
