2024-2025 Fall Semester GLB 101 Final Competition Winner Announced
The GLB 101 course at Abdullah Gül University (AGU) is the first course in the GLB curriculum, designed to introduce students to the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) through a multidisciplinary and holistic approach. This course, which is taken by first-year students from all departments, enables students to attend lectures taught by faculty members from different disciplines, engage in interdisciplinary teamwork, and gain knowledge about the first seven Sustainable Development Goals of the UN.
As part of the GLB 101 course, students formed multidisciplinary teams of 4-5 members to develop innovative project ideas focusing on two selected goals from the first seven SDGs. At the end of the semester, the teams presented their ideas through 3-minute video presentations. Finalists were selected among the groups, and in the last week of the semester, the winning team was chosen through an open vote by all GLB 101 students and faculty members.
This semester, the finalists were selected among 23 sections and 114 groups. The finalists and their video topics were as follows:
- Section 2: Berkehan Aydoğan, Neslihan Şahin, Selen Varkara, Özgür Demir – SDG 4 (Quality Education) and SDG 7 (Affordable and Clean Energy)
- Section 3: D. Nida Zıvdır, Eslem Camgöz, Momen Aslan, Hüseyin, Zişan – SDG 6 (Clean Water and Sanitation) and SDG 7 (Affordable and Clean Energy)
