Program Description: Interactive Student Participation
Fly with us across the Atlantic to the amazing land of Turkey. Here you will find an abundance of cultural clues. From the historical ruins of Ephesus to the modern mall of Ankara we will hunt for historical artifacts and treasures of blue. Learn how for centuries Emperors and Sultans fought over this ancient land, leaving some amazing sites. Then be ready to laugh as we discover the wisdom of Hoca and fly on a magic carpet at night. We will pack a “heybe” and travel through the ruins of Ephesus, Bergama, and Pergamum, just to name a few. When you leave you should be full of Turkish knowledge that will widen your perspective and enlighten your worldview.
