All I can say is the Spanish team had a wonderful time in Turkey. The hotel for the teachers was excellent and the families for our five students excelled in hospitality. The program was superb and I personally enjoyed meeting the Senior Inspector for the school (who is a great dancer, by the way!). The students at the school were extremely friendly and taught us a few Turkish words (Mehrabah!) The headmaster took charge of everything and Kamuran didn’t stop a single minute trying to sort out all kinds of difficulties.
We would like to congratulate the dancers, who also showed us some local steps (difficult at the beginning, but there is a first time for everything, right?). The food was amazing - a new surprise every day (how many different types of kebab are there!!??).
And haggling in the local market was also another interesting experience!
So well done Selim et al.

The trip to Samsun was amazing and one of our students said in the lobby of the hotel in the last day: “I have just one word for everything: fabulous.” That’s how each and one of Romanian team believe about our visit in this beautiful country, Turkey.
In Samsun everything was just perfect. Our Turkish colleagues were all the time with us and they organized so many activities in such a great way. Their headmaster really understood the importance of the project for the school and for the community. And he is also a very, very nice person.
The activities were interesting, the places where we have been were full of history, the traditions are ancient and so complex. The school looks very nice and all the students were very friendly.
Each student of our team spent a wonderful time in Samsun, because parents and students made so many efforts in order to make our students feeling well. And we know that they did it with all their hearts.
Thank you so much Kamuran, Selim and all your team!

It was an amazing experience, an opportunity to see new places and to appreciate that I'm in this project. Samsun is a nice city. There I met a lot of people wherewith I befriended and wherewith I had fun. I learned some turkish words, I visited a lot of things and I felt great with Alperen's family. I was impressed by their hospitality and I thing we have to learn from it. I hope to return in Samsun as soon as I can. At the end, I want to say : Hepiniz cok guzel kizlarsiniz!

I spent a great time in Samsun. I knew that Turkish people are good host, but you were more than that. The city is nice and big. I love the sea, so Samsun is a place where I would like to live. One of the images, that really remained stuck in my head, is a view with Samsun, saw from the boat we were travelling with. It was gorgeous and the city could be seen from miles away. The food was delicious, especially the cakes and sweets which were the best I ever tasted. My host, Irem is now like a sister for me. When I left Samsun, she gave me a photo with us. When I arrived at home, I saw a message on the back of photo, and I was really excited. I miss the days spent there and I would be more than happy to return.

The trip to Turkey was really amazing for me, I meet some awesome people and i visited some interesting places like the town of Samsun,or the turkish baths. For me this was the first time in Turkey and i hope that in the future I could go again and maybe see Ayberk, Buse, Sarper and the other friends I made there.
The best thing about Turkey after the delicious food are the people and there is no doubt when I say that they are very friendly and carrying about their guest, I liked that very much and I was really sad because I could not spent more time with them.
