The document summarizes a 6-day cultural trip taken by students from several European countries to Istanbul, Turkey. The goal of the trip was to learn about Turkish culture and practice English. Each day consisted of visits to important historical and cultural sites in Istanbul, including Hagia Sophia, the Blue Mosque, Topkapi Palace, the Grand Bazaar, and Maiden's Tower. Students also had opportunities to experience Turkish cuisine and spend time with their host families. The trip aimed to foster cultural exchange and help the students learn to work in multicultural groups.
