Every year, more than 300 students from Ege University work in the different ’Social Responsibility Projects’ of the Municipality. This year, the European Union Projects Unit of Bornova has initiated a project with a small group of students taking the Civic Involvement Projects Course from the International Relations Department of Ege University. The municipality presented their European activities such as the Energy Cities membership and the participation in the ENGAGE campaign. 20 students have been selected for the ENGAGE project group of Bornova.
