Nile Foundation

Trips

Every year, Nile Foundation organizes excursions to Turkey under the themes of culture, business, education and dialogue. Nile Foundation is not a travel agency; however, we do like to showcase Turkey to our American peers and colleagues. By doing this, we succeed in building personal bridges across continents by engaging American participants in meeting their Turkish counterparts.

While in Turkey, participants have the opportunity to visit with civic, educational, governmental and other entities. This visceral experience of Turkey at its finest works to break down any previously held stereotypes.

Our groups to Turkey are composed of about 6-15 people in order for guests to have the most sincere and personal experience of the culture and people of Turkey. A cross-section of the typical group could include a mixture of people from academia, civic organizations, government, journalism, the arts and the like.

The goals of Nile Foundation with these trips are to:

* Promote mutual understanding through dialogue and discussion among the American participants and the Turkish society;

* Introduce and provide broad exposure to and education of Turkish cultural, political, economic, and social issues; and

* Allow Participants to gain an understanding of topics, including but not limited to, national security, foreign policy, trade, health, economic development & finance, the media, government affairs, religious diversity, minority rights, and any other achievements of contemporary Turkish civil society.
