The purpose of the study tour

The study tour has been designed and organised to strengthen existing relations with tour participants and build bridges between communities, organisations and cultures.

It is important to note that this trip is not designed for tourism purposes; the AAI is not a travel agency motivated by financial gain. The organisation strives to make this study tour a success, with participants as tour delegates, in cooperation with Turkey's participating cities, community and business representatives and NGO’s.

Therefore, we kindly ask you to participate in the scheduled program in order to meet and interact with the different sections of Turkish society acting as our hosts: individuals, business people, cultural-religious representatives, educational institutions and officials in the designated cities.
