Istanbul, Turkey | February 2023

Come join us in Istanbul, Turkey for a fun-filled and community-centered worldschooling gathering February 26 - March 4, 2023.

Our pop-ups provide a super casual, budget-friendly opportunity to gather, connect with other worldschoolers, learn about the local area, instill new friendships, share your insights, and immerse in a friendly, accepting mobile community.

We've cherry-picked the best low- or no-cost activities that highlight local nature, arts, history, food, and culture... but you'll also have plenty of time to relax, get to know each other, and even stray from the itinerary to add activities that cater to the group's interests (we provide supplemental ideas to tailor your experience).

Pop in for a few days or the full week. Join as many activities as you'd like. It's up to you! We would love to have you come and simply hang out with like-minded families while we dive in and explore the local offerings.

Our itinerary will include activities such as the following:

*Blue Mosque

*Hagia Sophia

*Topkapı Palace

*Shopping the Grand Bazaar and spice markets

*Turkish and Islamic Arts Museum

*Basilica Cistern

*Dolmabahce Palace

Add ons include taking a Bosphorus River cruise or watching a Whirling Dervish performance.
