Silkroad Caravan arrived in Istanbul
But it wasn´t just a simple overland journey. Sven Strube and some of the team members used electro-bicycles to cover much of the distance between Varna and the mega city on the Bosporus, crossing beautiful landscape especially in the remote border areas between Bulgaria and Turkey.
In Istanbul, the Silkroad Experiences Project is going to be the major act of the 2. Intercultural Arts Dialogues Days in Beyoglu, providing seven different events of this big festival. Most of the action will take place around the famous Galata Tower and the Beyoglu Youth Center. The Silkroad caravan will stay in Istanbul until June 20th, looking for as much intercultural dialogue as possible. The opening ceremony of the festival has already been attended by a huge crowd of spectators not only from Istanbul but from all over the world.
