Thought and Philosophy Club

Hello. My name is Uğur Samast and I am a senior student in the Philosophy Department of Erzurum Technical University. Today I will introduce you to the Thought and Philosophy Club. Our Group was established in 2015 to ensure the sociocultural development of our students; to develop a critical thinking attitude; to increase the power of interpretation; and to create an environment of thought and discussion by inviting various thinkers and writers. We gather in the campus, Faculty of Letters, in our meeting rooms, our library and our classrooms and carry out our activities. The number of members is around 400. Those friends who want to work with us are usually attracted to and interested in philosophy. In line with our goals, we organize conferences, panels and seminars both with our own academicians and thinkers and authors invited from outside. In addition to these, we organize activities such as integration and orientation trips for our new friends. The most comprehensive event we have undertaken throughout the year is the trip we planned to ensure bonding in our club. About 150 of our friends attended this trip. Our community is open to everyone. We have two types of membership, namely, primary and honorary. Being a student of Erzurum Technical University is enough to become a member. It is imperative to be a student to be in the admin. Anyone who wants to work with us can become an honorary member. I met with academicians from all over the country thanks to the lectures of The Thought and Philosophy Club. I have increased my sense of responsibility and I have socialized through our activities. I was an introvert before but now I have a more active social life. Because of our work, my leadership skills have increased. We would be happy to see you at Erzurum Technical University Thought and Philosophy Club.
