InternatIonal Projects

İstanbul Kültür Educational Institutions attach importance to international projects while raising up individuals serving the needs of 21st century. Therefore, the school encourages various projects and exchange programs by communicating with worldwide educational institutions and organizations. Some examples of these projects are:

 

Projects and Exchange Programs carried out by Harvard University:

The project of ‘Our Musical and Cultural Heritage’ was performed in Boston, U.S.A in April 2011.  In this project, with the participation of 25 students and teachers, 22 traditional Turkish musical instruments were donated to the Harvard University's World Instruments Collection.  The students made presentations as well.  For this presentation, students of Kültür 2000 College conducted an intensive six-month research project regarding Turkish traditional musical instruments.  The origins of the instruments, their structural characteristics, usage, chord patterns, cultural presence and masters were the main focus areas of the research.

In an another project, 50 students and faculty members from Harvard University had the opportunity to get to know Turkish culture and İstanbul Kültür Educational Institutions in May 2012. Both institutions' choirs performed concerts together. 

 

NASA Space Campus Contest:

 

Kültür 2000 students received certificates and awards from the United States’ National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA).  The Space Campus Contest is organized by the NASA Space Community.  500 international projects compete each year in May before a jury consisting of astronauts and scientists.
