Spanish, French and Turkish companies join together to create educational reference schools in Turkey after the earthquake.
ABOUT THE
SCHOOLS
Both schools are designed for early childhood, primary and secondary education students.
A reference educational environment for children affected by the earthquake in Turkey.
8,000 m2 land and school plan.
Our project consists of the construction of two reference educational centers with indigenous, sustainable, innovative materials adapted to climate change, on two plots of 8,000 and 10,000 square meters, which will also support the local economy of an emerging industry.
The first school will be located on a 10,000 square meter plot of land and will house 600 children in early childhood, primary and secondary education. The project has been carried out by the Turkish architects Dr. Erdem and Ekin Güven based on a technically superior, resistant, anti-seismic and sustainable structure that ensures confidence in the construction of new buildings.
It has the participation of the organization Dünya Doktorlari Derneği (DDD) and the French studio Architectes de l’Urgence . It is currently deposited with the Turkish Ministry of Education and bidding for construction has begun. The second school has a land area of 8,000 square meters and is planned for a total of 480 children. On this occasion, the municipality of Hatay will transfer the land.
We develop cooperation with industry so that education is not interrupted.
In this context and being aware of the importance of the private sector in development projects of global impact, various companies have joined together in a public-private collaboration with Spanish, French and Turkish institutions and organizations, in the construction of two reference educational centers and economic and social impact for those who will preserve the history of the city of Antioquia.
The importance of establishing earthquake-resistant cities and infrastructure has been demonstrated once again. Reactivate cities with investment in alternative models and techniques that allow the expansion of earthquake-resistant settlements.
It is necessary to make systemic changes that increase resilience against disaster risk, taking care of the implementation and cooperation of all actors: citizens, governments and public institutions, NGOs, professional associations, academic circles, as well as the intervention of the private sector, both in infrastructure sectors (potable water-sewerage, municipal services, energy, transportation and communication), as well as in economic sectors (agriculture, mining, industry, manufacturing and tourism), minimizing risks in housing, education, health, employment and the environment.

Children in Antaquía (September, 2023).
Antioquia (Hatay)
Antioquia is located in the province of Hatay, south of Turkey and on the border with Syria.
It is now that the historic city of Antioquia needs investment in reconstruction . We have opted for the education of the future as an essential element to preserve culture. We create alternative models integrated with ecology, climate change and sustainability.
This project seeks
Be a reference for the educational future

The Antioquía project is a pilot educational investment project with economic, social and environmental impact. A model of good business practices with return on investment.
The objective is to convert these schools into an educational reference model. To achieve this, we promote public-private collaboration, uniting companies, entities and public institutions from different countries.
The purpose is to anticipate the needs through the participation of professionals who, in a coordinated manner, adapt the schools to the historical-cultural context of the city of Antioquia in the long term.
The largest Roman mosaic in history is located in Antioquia, with an area of 1,050 m2.
Background
On February 6, 2023, two earthquakes of magnitude 7.8 and 7.6 devastated Antioquia, the epicenter of the earthquake, causing the death of more than 60,000 people in the 11 affected Turkish cities where 16.2% of the total population of the country is located.
Antioquia was the third city of the Roman Empire and one of the great cities of the Byzantine Empire. It is par excellence the city of diversity and multiculturalism where Christians, Jews and Muslims coexist in an exemplary way.
With 14 million inhabitants, 21.3% corresponds to the child population (4,805,937 children from 0 to 17 years old). The Syrian migrant population established in the area was 1.7 million with 50% children.
Antioquia is the capital of the Hatay province. The historic city is located in southern Turkey, bordering Syria. In the province of Hatay, there were 1,686,043 people (50% under 29 years of age) and 537,008 children.
Of the almost 5 million children affected by the earthquake, 1.6 million began classes in containers in September 2023.
