The event aimed at developing students' professional knowledge and skills in geography, raising awareness about global challenges of sustainable development, strengthening teamwork, as well as fostering values of social responsibility and a healthy lifestyle.

• SDG 4: Quality Education
Students participated in a quest using satellite maps, a seminar-training session, and an intellectual game "Ziyatkerlik Doda." These activities contributed to enhancing their educational level, developing practical skills, and deepening their knowledge in geography.

• SDG 3: Good Health and Well-being
As part of the week, a seminar-training session on healthy living was held, and a mini-football tournament among students was organized. These events emphasized the importance of health and well-being, motivating students to lead an active and healthy lifestyle.

• SDG 10: Reduced Inequalities
At the organized fair, students raised funds that were donated to a nursing home. This event demonstrated support for vulnerable groups of people and contributed to reducing social and economic inequalities.
