Atlas Foundation

I met Atlas Foundation Director Emrah Aktepe at the 2015 Turkish Festival today. The festival was small but the people were warm and welcoming. Emrah proudly explained the purpose of the Atlas foundation and I was very impressed. They work to promote cultural understanding and interfaith dialogues through education and community events. The goal is to foster a mutual respect by promoting communication and interaction between diverse cultures. The Annual festival is just one of the things they do to educate people about other cultures. They have cooking classes, plan group trips, book clubs, language courses, lectures and various themed dinner events. I left wanting to know more about the foundation and might even take a cooking class.
