3 members of Federation attended the International Seminar in Turkey. Seminar was about discovering creative methods of working with youngsters using drama. The project was about building an interaction bridge among cultures by using their heritage. We exchanged the traditional games, tongue twister, and stories and shared different kinds of art forms to see how those forms affect our culture.
