Quaker Groups Academics’ Intercultural Trip to Turkey
An intercultural exploration of Turkey, Turkish culture and history. Delegates not only visit popular historic and touristic sites, but do so in comfort and with the lead of experienced guides. What is more, this is not a tour of simply sites and museums but one of people and culture. Therefore, the tour is specifically tailored to maximise such exposure. One way this is achieved is by hosting the group for dinner at a Turkish family’s home; another way is by arranging meetings with locals and students. Each trip also includes meetings with those of the same or related field to the visiting delegates to help facilitate partnerships through which lasting friendships and meaningful dialogue can be achieved. Ample time for shopping and dining is also provided.
Objective
- To project a positive image and understanding of Britain in Turkey.
- To develop links with key Turkish educational, media and voluntary sector organisations.
- To develop a better understanding of 'Turkish Muslimness' and civil society.
