Our goal was to show our Erasmus students the history filled city of Bursa, renowned for its amazing food and Mosques, being a significant part of Turkey's culture. We also wanted to provide our students with a fun skiing trip, a challenging adrenaline filled sport at the magnificent mountains of Bursa, Uludağ.
We departed from Istanbul at 5 AM to Bursa, making stops every now and then to make sure everyone could sort their needs. We reached Bursa and went to the ski resort first thing in the morning and helped our students with renting the necessary equipments for their safety, from a shop which we arranged discounts for them. After gearing up with everyone, we went onto enjoying the beautiful nature of Uludağ and the snow, moving and getting all the benefits this fun branch of sports could provide us. We took a few breaks from skiing to enjoy a warm cup of Turkish tea with our Erasmus students which fostered a lot of conversations that brought us together. As the evening came, we gave our equipments back to go back to the city center of Bursa to enjoy its renowned dish, "Bursa Kebabı". We informed our students about the history and Bursa's significance in Türkiye and then went to see Bursa Ulu Camii which is the most important landmark in Bursa. We gave our students some time to visit the giftshops and try some of the traditional desserts only made in Bursa to be able to take something back home after the experience.
