A New Route for Peace and Friendship for Children
A more meaningful meeting took place on the Dikili – Lesbos route, which has united the two shores of the Aegean for years through tourism, culture, and friendship: a bridge of brotherhood through education.
Under the sibling school project initiated between kindergartens in Dikili and Lesbos, Turkish and Greek educators came together on Lesbos Island to take an important step that carries hope for the future for children.
This special visit was not just an official protocol meeting; it also became a symbol of peace, cultural sharing, and a common vision for the future in the prejudice-free world of children.

The Two Shores of the Aegean Met for Children
In the first phase of the project, the educational delegation from Dikili was warmly welcomed by school administrators and local authorities in Lesbos.
The delegation included;
- Dikili Emine Münevver Denizolgun Kindergarten
- Bademli Primary School
- regional education administrators and teachers
was present.
During the meetings held in Lesbos, exchanges of ideas were made on educational models, school culture, child development, and cultural exchange projects.
Such efforts are especially valuable as they contribute to building much stronger bonds between the two communities through friendships that start at a young age.
A Message of Peace and Olive Branch in Lesbos
One of the most meaningful moments of the meeting was the presentation of a special parchment gift depicting an olive tree to the Mayor of Lesbos.
The olive tree represents not only nature in the Aegean geography;
- peace
- abundance
- shared culture
- lasting friendship
This symbolic gesture strongly demonstrated that the relations between Dikili and Lesbos are developing not only in tourism but also in education and social life.
We at Güventur Are Proud to Be a Part of This Story
As GÜVENTUR, which has safely transported thousands of visitors on the Dikili – Lesbos route for years, it has been a source of happiness for us to support this meaningful education project in terms of logistics and transportation.
We always see our Lesbos trips not just as a means of transportation but as a;
- meeting of cultures,
- building of friendships,
- birth of joint projects,
- true bridge between the two shores
We believe that the bonds formed today for children will transform into common culture and education projects of tomorrow.
Education: The Strongest Bridge That Exceeds Borders
As emphasized by the school administrators in Lesbos, education is one of the strongest tools that brings people together across borders.
Especially including young children in this process is valuable for;
- prejudice-free communication,
- recognizing different cultures,
- language development,
- social empathy,
- peace culture
Sharing the same sky, the same sea, and similar cultural values among children living on the two shores of the Aegean adds even more meaning to this project.
Lesbos Tours Are No Longer Just a Vacation but a Cultural Experience
In recent years, trips to Lesbos have become prominent not only for gastronomy, sea, and history but also for human stories, friendships, and cultural interactions.
This sibling school project also shows that Lesbos is no longer just an island for visitors but a living part of the collective memory of the Aegean.
As GÜVENTUR, we will continue to support every project that contributes to the growth of this bridge.
