A Personal JourneyAs someone with Moroccan and Ukrainian roots living in Turkey, intercultural learning is not just an academic idea — it is a daily experience. It means learning how to live between cultures, how to understand different ways of thinking, and how to build meaningful relationships in a diverse environment.Intercultural learning helps people like me adapt, communicate, and grow. It allows us to respect traditions different from our own while staying connected to our identity. In a country like Turkey, rich in history and culture, every day is an opportunity to learn — not only about others but also about ourselves.Through language, food, customs, and values, I’ve come to see that cultural differences are not barriers — they are bridges. Intercultural learning gives us the skills to cross those bridges with curiosity, empathy, and confidence.In today’s world, this kind of learning is more important than ever. It teaches us that we don't have to choose one culture over another — we can belong to more than one world at the same time.
