Welcome to Izmir School!
We provide conceptual and applied consultancy services in the areas of nature conservation, agrecology, ecological urbanism, education, and strategic planning. Our name is derived from Izmir City, located in a region where democracy, literature, and numerous other innovations have originated, shaping human civilization. We are committed to persistently tracing values that transcend from the local to the universal scale.
The essence of Izmir School lies in the ‘redesign of thinking’ to grasp the evolution of individuals, society, and the broader natural world. This commitment takes us beyond the confines of literature, immersing our vision and services wherever life pulses.
We draw inspiration from diversity and believe in the power of collaboration. We not only learn through documented knowledge, but also directly from our fellow travelers, partners and observing natural processes. We respect other innovative and creative teams around the world, forming partnerships to generate accurate solutions.
Our team does not settle for raw data. Instead, we develop new and resilient concepts, leveraging them to tackle intricate challenges head-on.
We piece together fragments. To minimize risks, we examine each issue through its historical and future context, along with its all current interactions. Regardless of the scale of the issue, we produce on-site, concrete, and applicable solutions.
We consistently support all organizations we serve throughout their journey of empowering their work.
Connect with us to elevate your work and drive exceptional results.
