Discovering the Art of Evil Eye Beads in Nazarköy

As part of our project mobility in Türkiye, we visited Nazarköy in İzmir, a village famous for its traditional evil eye beads. During the workshop, participants had the unique opportunity to observe and experience the fascinating process of making these symbolic beads.

This activity not only allowed us to learn more about Turkish cultural heritage but also gave us a chance to explore how art, tradition, and craftsmanship are preserved and passed down through generations. The colorful beads, believed to protect against negative energy, became a meaningful reminder of our shared cultural journey.
