    On 1 November 2017 the 2nd day participants were taken to a tour of Nevşehir. The objective was to get an insight to organize sportive events in a fun way and get information about job opportunities in cooking and health business sector. First, they did 1-hour trekking in Kaymaklı underground city which has narrow pathways connecting to living spaces. Its aim was to understand the teenagers’ moods when they are in stress and do sports even in the underground city. It was a tiring tour. After the tour in Kaymaklı underground city participants were taken to Kapadokya Üniversitesi. In the university information about healthy cooking and health tourism business was given and good practices were exchanged. Later participants were taken to Hayal Vadisi for trekking. There they did trekking for an hour.
