Activities and Events:

During the first meeting we were warmly welcomed at the school followed by a fantastic concert which covered many traditional Turkish dances, songs and music. The importance of the project was highlighted by the presence of local dignitaries and the press. I was particularly impressed by the involvement of the parents who cooked a traditional lunch for us and even invited us into their home to see a typical house.

There were many opportunities to taste local and delicious food, both home-cooked for us by the parents or in restaurants.

Many trips and visits to museums, mosques and other educational or cultural sites gave us an insight into Turkish customs and life.  We laid a wreath at Ataturk’s mausoleum in Ankara, which was an unforgettable experience for all involved, as was the early morning visit to a Hamam. We had an opportunity to visit a calcite quarry to see natural resources being mined and back at school we observed and participated in some lessons as well as looking at completed work from the project.
