About the Program:

This program consists of a year-long initiative to increase student/high school programming, a wonderful global opportunity for four lucky area high school teachers (a nine day Study Tour of the fascinating country of Turkey with the Turkish Cultural Foundation this summer), and opportunities for all members and Midlands area residents to explore the marvels and cultural richness of Turkey.

Highlights of the Program:

1) A one-day cultural workshop with speakers, music, and various presentations on Turkey to be held on Thursday, April 10th, 2008

2) A nine day study tour of Turkey - four chosen teachers will participate

3) A "Portrait of Turkey" program - teachers that visit Turkey will share their experiences and new found knowledge. Date and location TBA
