För nästan två årtusenden sedan banade Plancia Magna väg genom att göra ett imponerande avtryck i staden Perge, trots den passiva roll som kvinnor vanligtvis hade på den tiden. Hon föddes in i en rik och mäktig familj, men istället för att leva ett enkelt liv använde hon sina privilegier för att gynna sin stad. Hennes mod, självständighet och karaktär hyllades långt efter hennes tid och inspirerade kvinnor genom tiderna att söka inflytelserika roller i samhället.
Din National Geographic-utbildade guide kommer att avslöja den antika staden Perge med fokus på livet och arvet från Plancia Magna, en inspirerande figur även idag. Kanske var Plancia en inspirationskälla för Hatice Adıgüzel, vars verkstad du kommer att besöka härnäst. Upptäck hur man skapar lampor och prydnadsföremål av kalebasser och lär dig av Hatice själv vad som utmärker hennes verksamhet - hennes ledarskap i en mansdominerad bransch, hennes engagemang för att stärka lokala kvinnor och hennes val av hållbara material.
Under en praktisk workshop får du möjlighet att skapa din egen dekorativa kalebass och lära dig mer om Hatices arbete med den lokala kvinnogemenskapen. Hon delar med sig av sina framgångar genom att anställa kvinnor som odlar och dekorerar kalebasser från sina egna hem för verksamheten. De gör också de olika tilltuggen som du får njuta av under workshopen. Hatices mål är att hjälpa kvinnor som inte kan arbeta på en vanlig arbetsplats på grund av barnomsorg eller liknande begränsningar genom att ge dem ett bekvämt sätt att tjäna pengar.

Nat Geo Day Tour: Women of Antalya, Past to Present
Nearly two millennia ago, Plancia Magna blazed a trail by making an impressive impact on the city of Perge despite the usual passive role of women at that time. She was born into a wealthy, powerful family, but instead of an easy life, she used her privilege to benefit her city. Her courage, independence and character was celebrated long after her time, and inspired women through the ages to seek influential roles in society. Your National Geographic-trained guide will reveal the ancient city of Perge with a focus on the life and legacy of Plancia Magna, an inspirational figure even today. Perhaps Plancia was a source of inspiration for Hatice Adıgüzel, whose workshop you will visit next. Discover the skills and artistry involved in creating lamps and garden ornaments from gourds, and learn from Hatice herself what sets her business apart - her leadership in a male-dominated workforce, her commitment to empowering local women and her choice of sustainable materials. During a hands-on workshop, you will have the opportunity to create your own decorative gourd and learn more about Hatice's work with the local women's community. She pays her success forward by employing women to grow and decorate the gourds from their own homes for the business. They also make the snacks you'll enjoy during the workshop. Hatice's aim is to help women who are unable to work in regular employment due to childcare commitments or similar restrictions by giving them a convenient way to earn.
