The participants will stay at YGA graduates homes and will be accompanied on the daily tours of Istanbul by YGA fellows.
Below are some comments from 2007 Istanbul Cultural Ambassadors from USA:
Surprises, questions, connections, lessons. To understand a culture well you need to live with the people. Thanks to the Istanbul Cultural Ambassadors program's design of having our Turkish hosts live with us and be our tour guides in Istanbul, we were able to ask questions about their daily lives and literally "dip our hands" in to the culture. I loved the program, I loved istanbul.
Melissa Wiesner - Duke University
I absolutely loved this program and treasure the memories I have in Istanbul. This experince of being an Istanbul Cultural Ambassador was one of the best of my life. I have seen sights and had adventures and made friends that will stay with me for the rest of my life. I have been exposed to a richness and culture, warmth of friendship and hospitality that truly moved me deply. Thank you YGA.
Kyle Beaulieu - UNC-Chapel Hill
The YGA hosts in Istanbul dove deep below the surface of the city with us and showed us the inner forces that conduct the symphony that is the city. I loved the program and Istanbul. I'm excited to return to my adoptive country in the future.
