This trip was prepared to offer British journalist and writers to join a trip organized by The Journalists and Writers Foundation, Education and Dialogue Charity (A registered charity promoting intercultural dialogue in central England) and Dialogue Society in London jointly.  The aim of the trip was to increase British journalists’ and writers’ familiarity of Turkey, Turkish culture, Turkish media and intellectuals. Britain is the foremost supporter of Turkey’s ascension to the European Union. A better understanding of Turkish culture and ‘Turkish Islam’ is crucial in foreseeing future contribution of Turkey into the European culture.

Hull Anatolian Society and Education Dialogue Charity to take part cultural activities organized by YOF and Children Fund in The Albemarle Music Centre Hull.There were about ten different groups from different cultures and nations they all performed their own cultural dance and music. The nations that joined were Turkish, Polish, Zambian, English, and Bosnian….
We performed a traditional Turkish dance called Cayda Cira. Something about this dance….. The CaydaCira dance is easy to recognize for its distinction that it is performed with the dancers holding small plates with lit candles. Part of the CaydaCira dances also depict a groom being prepared for his impending wedding, as well as the henna night held for the bride before the wedding.

B.A (QTS) Theology Year 3: This trip is designed to help you achieve the wider learning objectives of your Theology studies course. In particular it will give you deeper knowledge of world religions (especially Islam), develop and deepen your knowledge and sensitivity in relating to people of other faiths and cultures, and enable you to recognise and communicate religious dimensions such as beliefs, practices, concerns and issues. The trip helps to us to do this because it offers us a living encounter not only with remarkable buildings and places but also with Muslim individuals and groups of people who are keen to share their culture and spiritual heritage with you.
