Arcadia in London meets Arcadia in Istanbul

Earlier this month, students from the London Center participated in an excursion to Turkey to meet their counterparts at the Istanbul Center. The meeting and interaction between students from each center was an incredibly valuable experience for all involved. Our experienced local staff made sure that students got to experience not only the usual tourist destinations, but were also guided to places that aren’t necessarily listed in guide books.

When addressing the question of "why Istanbul," Dr. Peter Leuner, Resident Director of Arcadia in London said “we’d like to take “Learn Everywhere” literally and help our students to explore destinations they would not usually get to themselves… to visit one of the world’s great cities, a modern muslim country, a location where east really does meet west and a culture with layer upon layer of history - with the added bonus of an Arcadia program with a knowledgeable and supportive Resident Director!”
