5th Day - Sustainability: On the final day of our festival, we will merge the concept of sustainability with art at the forefront of Alanya's symbol, the Red Tower. Through workshops in foil bending, sculpture, and bag painting, we will unite the power of art with nature's beauty. This experience will not only nourish our souls but also enhance environmental awareness. Following the workshops, we will have the opportunity to examine the architectural details of the Red Tower alongside our university's "Palimpsest Cities" initiative, embarking on a discovery journey into Alanya's cultural richness.
