Cultural Ants Walk towards 2010
Cultural Awareness Foundation

General Communications Training for New Volunteers 
October 2009
The Culture Ants education model -which takes “learning by traveling, seeing, feeling and doing” as basis- is applied to primary school students under the name “Culture Ants Walk Towards 2010” with the support of culture volunteers within the frame of Istanbul 2010 European Capital of Culture. The project process entails first holding classroom training to give theoretical knowledge about Istanbul to students in their own schools which are previously selected, and then going out to cultural places where the educational activities still go on. Classes are carried out in intervals all along the year. The trainers called ‘Culture Volunteers’ are either university students or university graduate employees in public or private sector. The volunteers attend at courses given by the experts and specialists before they are engaged in the project where they contribute to cultural education of students as “role models”.  Thus the important sectors of the society, children and youngsters will grow awareness about Istanbul’s cultural values as well as get to know each other through interaction within a cultural project.
