Stage at the Anatolia Festival, note one of the sponsors is the Pacifica Institute. |
In May 2010, the Anatolia Festival was held in Irvine, CA. The students from Magnolia Science Academy were bus'd in to this event and spent an entire day there learning more about the Turkish culture from their Turkish Teachers. This Festival is also talked about on the Today's Zaman website a media journal owned by the Gulen Movement. It was also on Gulen Institute's web sites and had it's own stand alone web site,
Note: the sponsors on the Anatolia Fesitval web site are Pacific Institute, which also puts on the Turkish Olympiads for the Gulen Charter Schools and ERBU TV which is Gulen's own TV station. There are many other sponsors that are affiliated with the Gulen Movement
