A Volunteer Day event dedicated to Sustainable Development Goal 12 (Responsible Consumption and Production) was organized with bachelor’s and master’s students of Oriental Studies faculty on the 17 October to promote environmental awareness, responsible attitudes towards animals, and sustainable lifestyles.
The main objective of the round table was to encourage students to participate in volunteer activities, understand the importance of animal welfare, and recognize the connection between responsible consumption, environmental protection, and biodiversity preservation.
During the event, students worked in groups to explore the activities of animal shelters and identify ways to support abandoned animals. They prepared group presentations, short reports, and posts highlighting the importance of adopting animals, reducing waste, reusing resources, and providing proper care for pets. Students also discussed how responsible consumption can help reduce environmental problems and contribute to a more sustainable society.
Students shared practical ideas for supporting animal shelters, including collecting essential supplies, organizing donation campaigns, and raising public awareness.
The event successfully increased students’ understanding of sustainable development and the importance of individual contributions to society. It also demonstrated that small acts of kindness and responsible choices can make a meaningful difference in protecting animals and the environment. The Volunteer Day event contributed to promoting the values of SDG 12 and encouraged students to become more active, responsible, and environmentally conscious citizens.
