Goal of the Activity

"To bring together all sections of Izmir, we'll embark on an exhilarating journey around the city center, exploring its iconic landmarks and sights. Participants will engage in friendly competition, completing various tasks that not only foster teamwork, creativity, and time management but also provide an immersive experience in the local culture."

Description

"Students were divided into groups as the challenge kicked off, with each group tasked to complete a series of assignments. Beginning at the iconic Clock Tower, we ventured into the bustling traditional bazaar to sample authentic Turkish foods. A Turkish coffee break allowed us to embrace local customs, indulging in the art of fortune-telling. As the time expired at our designated meeting point, we celebrated the achievements of the top three groups with souvenir magnets and keychains as tokens of their success."

Some examples of the tasks they had to complete:

-Singing songs on the way (voice message/video) (10p)

-Dare a stranger to talk to you on the video (10p)

-Give a worker (staff, cleaner, barista, sales assistant,etc) a high five and tell them “Kolay Gelsin” (Video)(20p)

-POV you are a foreigner in Turkiye. (5p)

-A picture with a landmark!(5p)

-Does an erasmus student dare to try “Midiye” from the Midiye shop near by the bazaar. (10p) (video)
