Although discussions about the possibility of hosting have been going on behind the scenes for a while, their recent experience of participating in GMG Bulgaria inspired them to make a decision and to begin the planning process. This event has now been confirmed and will take place between Sunday 14th until Saturday 20th of September 2025.
Located between the Aegean Sea and Mount Yamanlar, Izmir a place surrounded by natural beauty and one of the oldest settlements of the Mediterranean world. Its rich history and blend of diverse cultures, combined with its distinctive nature and landscapes, offer opportunities for students and teachers to learn together through educational, cultural and sporting activities that promise a fun-filled and interesting week of shared experiences.
As well as exploring this unique region and culture, participants will get the opportunity to learn and get hands-on experience of Sustainable Development Goals 3: Good health and Well-being and 6: Clean Water and Sanitation, which our hosts have chosen in order to raise awareness of issues within the local community, in the hope we may make an impact.
As always, we will welcome Montessori students and teachers from all over the world, but with the aim of having representation from as many different countries and cultures as possible, spaces will be limited. We encourage you to declare your interest promptly.
