About Us

Who are we?

WindGriff represents and documents the ideas and activities of a group of second-year International Baccalaureate students from Diyarbakır, a city in the Southeast region of Türkiye. Each of us has a different area of interest and expertise, and we plan to share them with the world through our website, WindGriff.

What is our mission and vision?

Our mission at WindGriff is to inform the world about our previous and ongoing projects, whether it is through individual or joint efforts. We hope to inspire other students to start and take up their passion projects or communal service projects to impact the world, themselves, and their communities. WindGriff is also a platform where we will educate ourselves on various areas of study and current events alongside teaching them to our viewers and readers. We plan to make this platform into a learning space about science, technology, art, culture, and society through our various mediums, such as articles, essays, and podcasts. WindGriff values and aims to spread mutual respect, fairness, integrity, curiosity, and hardwork principles.
