Invitation for Intercultural Trip to Turkey

Dear Honorable Representative……….

The ………………….. cordially invites you to join traditional intercultural trip to Turkey.
The ………………….. is a non-governmental and non-profit organization founded by the Turkish-American community of Massachusetts. Throughout years, the Error: Reference source not found has organized socio-cultural events to promote intercultural dialogue and understanding, some of which can be viewed on the Center’s website at www.turkishcenterboston.org.
One of the various activities organized by our Center is the Intercultural Trip to Turkey. The Intercultural Trip to Turkey has been specifically designed for academics, politicians, bureaucrats, community service providers, journalists and other related professionals to enhance their multicultural experience as well as intercultural relations between the American and Turkish societies.
The aim of this project is to build bridges between Turkish and American people, and promote understanding between both cultures. Secular and democratic Turkey is home to a mosaic of different cultures, religions and ethnicities, and as such provides a living example of peaceful coexistence of different communities. We think what makes Turkey particularly attractive as a travel destination is the fact that it has historically been one of the most interesting meeting places of Ancient, Roman, Byzantine and Ottoman civilizations, not to mention its marvelous natural beauties, warm hospitality and world famous kitchens, which attract millions of foreign tourists every year.

We would be happy to organize a trip for you lasting 3 to 10 days, according to your schedule and priorities. Your trip, for example, may include visits to historic sites that have significance in Jewish, Christian and Muslim traditions, interactions with the local people, and meetings with academics and local officials such as mayors and governors. Please find a sample itinerary in the attached file.
