Date | 14 November 2026, Saturday
Within the framework of the Burdur Culture Ambassador Program carried out by Burdur Mehmet Akif Ersoy University (MAKÜ), international students studying at the university from different countries visited the Burdur Provincial Directorate of Culture and Tourism.
The visit was attended by Center Director Assoc. Prof. Dr. Batuhan Medetoğlu, Deputy Director Dr. Duygu Burcu Gönülaçar Güvendi, President of the Burdur International Student Association Hüseyin Büyükkelleş, and international students from different countries.
As part of the program, students gained information about Burdur's historical, cultural, and touristic riches while also learning about the activities carried out by the Provincial Directorate of Culture and Tourism. The meeting aimed for international students to get to know the city more closely and to become culture ambassadors who can promote Burdur's cultural values in their own countries.
One of the significant gains from the visit was addressing the internship and employment opportunities for students' professional development. In this regard, the development of inter-institutional cooperation and the strengthening of opportunities to support the participation of international students in working life were evaluated.
