With the participation of undergraduate students from twelve different disciplines, Yaklaş Nişantepe Collective Thinking Workshops were organized under four main topics (garbage, flower, food, children) determined during the Nişantepe walks. With these workshops, it was aimed for the mixed disciplinary teams to discuss  the Nişantepe District with all its layers and to experience the collective thought systematics.

The workshops attended by students from twelve different departments, various administrative staff and academicians were facilitated by the Sustainability Platform employees and Özyeğin University faculty members.The workshops started with the opening speech of Özlem Bahadır and Okan Pala from the Sustainability Platform, in which they mentioned the previous stages of the Yaklaş Nişantepe process and the importance of collective thought awareness. In the first session of the workshops that was held in two sessions, in-group discussion topics were determined and the idea generation process started. In the second session, these ideas were presented and information exchange took place within the group. At the end of the day, two speakers were selected from each workshop, and these speakers came to the podium one by one and conveyed their ideas to the audience.
