Abstract
Global Friendship Through Space Education (GFTSE), a foundation launched by Space Camp Turkey founders, Mr., and Mrs. Kaya Tuncer, is also committed to shaping a peaceful, secure world. Global Friendship offers its programs to young people around the world to participate in science and space-technology programs, it hopes to generate peace among nations and ignite international goodwill and cooperation. We hope their experience will stimulate interest in the study of science and math and inspire them to pursue technical careers while giving them the opportunity to interact with students from different countries and cultures. Global Friendship Through Space Education provides scholarship funds so that all qualified students may participate. We believe that bringing young people from a variety of cultures and nationalities together through the study of space- related science will foster understanding, tolerance and friendship.
