Phase I: Who Am I? What's My Place?


 * What __really__ makes up your identity?


 * What __really__ makes up your sense of place?


 * What roles do your identity and sense of place play when you work with others in a group project?


 * What are the qualities that you bring to the GLIP conversation that will help you make a contribution to your global group?


 * What is one local problem (where you live) that you believe needs to be addressed? Suggest some steps could you take to try to solve it?


 * Finally, some problems have been around for a long time. What qualities do you think a person must have to step up and try to solve them?

Phase II: Sense of Place


 * These are some photos from Fethiye district, Muğla, Turkey. It is so beautiful! Fethiye is a holiday place. And there are some historical places like the third picture in Fethiye. Tourists come here in summers. **



**TEMA The Turkish Foundation For Combating Soil Erosion, For Reforestation** **and the Protection Of Natural Habitats** This foundation's goal is protecting the forests, preventing the soil erosions and planting more trees. We hope this will help to make our country better. Use these questions to help you determine which picture shows someone else why your “place” is so special to you.
 * Turkey is a tolerant country. In these pictures, you can see that Turkey is a tolerant country to religions, too. A different religion's place is next to the other's. Turkey never destroyed other religions' places when they conquer somewhere. **
 * Does a scenic picture represent the beauty you believe that your town has?
 * Does a picture of a group of people represent and show a warmth and friendliness that your town has?
 * Does a statue or building convey the feeling of history that makes your place important and unique?
 * Is there a cultural event that represents the values of your home location?

What are your initial thoughts about how your image addresses the questions above? Later, you will be working with the members of your group to create a travel package that includes visits to each group member's home location (see Phase II)

Phase III: Identify Local Issue:
