A comprehensive cultural tour program was organised for students of the Presidency of Turks Abroad and Related Communities (YTB) within the ambit of UNİDES (Inter-University Exchange Program) conducted under the Ministry of Youth and Sports, hosted by Atatürk University. The event, "Cultural Journey from District to District," was attended by students from various countries and featured unforgettable moments in four distinct districts of Erzurum.

 The journey of fraternity, which commenced at the memorial area in front of the Faculty of Theology at Atatürk University, united students with nature, history, and culture. The participants were able to connect with nature through the distinctive view of Tortum Waterfall and to experience tranquilly in Uzundere Yedigöller. The historical castle and mausoleum in Pasinler provided students with a spiritual experience that was interwoven with history, as they were able to sample the cultural richness of Erzurum at Narman Fairy Chimneys.

 Throughout the event, students expressed their gratitude by composing messages of appreciation in six distinct languages. They stated that this organisation facilitated the development of intercultural friendships. The UNİDES and YTB collaboration once again demonstrated the establishment of bridges of solidarity between young people from diverse geographical locations.

 After the program concluded, the Atatürk University Rector, Prof. Dr. Ahmet Hacımüftüoğlu, YTB Coordinator and Project Advisor, Prof. Dr. Muhammed Kızılgeçit, Project Coordinator Tuba Acar, and Nihavend Music Club Advisor Lecturer Mustafa Özfidan, who provided support at the club level, were all thanked for their contributions.

 This cultural voyage was instrumental in the establishment of permanent connections between young souls, as it strengthened fraternity at every step.
