Maarif schools in Tunisia plant trees for Türkiye's 'Be a Breath for Future'
Maarif International Schools in Tunisia organized a tree-planting event with students and teachers in support of Türkiye's “Be a Breath for the Future” afforestation campaign. The director of the Maarif Foundation in Tunisia said each sapling symbolizes environmental awareness and friendship between the two countries.
Students and teachers at Maarif International Schools in Tunisia, affiliated with the Turkish Maarif Foundation, planted tree saplings in the school garden as part of an initiative supporting Türkiye's “Be a Breath for the Future” afforestation campaign (Geleceğe Nefes Ol) from Tunisian soil.
Students, teachers and school administrators took part in the event, which sought to promote environmental awareness among pupils and foster a culture of protecting nature, while highlighting the importance of environmental sustainability.
“Each sapling is a symbol of friendship”
Ibrahim Sert, director of the Turkish Maarif Foundation in Tunisia, said education is not limited to academic success, adding: “Alongside knowledge, we are responsible for instilling in our children the duty to leave behind a world fit for living. Every sapling we plant today is a symbol of the environmental awareness that will grow in the hearts of our students and of the longstanding friendship between Türkiye and Tunisia.”
Sert said the foundation would continue leading such projects to leave a greener and cleaner legacy for future generations, and thanked the teachers and students who contributed to organizing the event.
A Turkish campaign since 2019
Türkiye launched the “Be a Breath for the Future” campaign in 2019 to expand public participation in afforestation efforts and leave a greener environment for future generations. On November 11 that year, which became Türkiye's national afforestation day, millions of saplings were planted across the country in a single day.
The Turkish Maarif Foundation in Tunisia provides education from preschool through secondary school, and its schools there graduated their first class of secondary students in 2022.
