Altınbaş University Erasmus+ Students Volunteered for Homeless People

Altınbaş University Erasmus+ and Exchange Programs Coordinatorship carried out a meaningful social responsibility activity with exchange students from different European countries. Erasmus+ students, in cooperation with Çorbada Tuzun Olsun Association, participated in food distribution activities to prevent homeless individuals from being isolated from society.

Students had the opportunity to interact directly with homeless individuals by taking an active role in the packaging and distribution of food. This process increased the social sensitivity of volunteers and contributed significantly to social integration.

Erasmus+ students acted with a sense of social responsibility

Wolf Schede, a student at Albert Ludwigs Freiburg University in Germany, emphasized the importance of the event and said, “This participation in the spirit of the New Year helped to reinforce the awareness of social responsibility.” Tudor Cosmin Cărăian, a student of Lucian Blaga Sibiu University in Romania, stated that the experience deeply affected him and said, “At the end of this experience, I will raise awareness of myself and my environment about the concept of homelessness and share this experience with my friends.”
