Erasmus Opportunities

Hello there, I am Nurcan Elksikma. A graduate student of the Department of International Relations at the Social Sciences University of Ankara. We take courses on traditional Turkish archery here at the Social Sciences University of Ankara. Traditional Turkish archery is not only the practice of target shooting. At the same time, we learn its value in theoretical history and cultural terms. Training takes place at designated ranges at Ulus central campus. There are eleven athletes on our team. We regularly receive theoretical and practical training on traditional Turkish archery at the training center. We conduct target shoots there. Above all this, we plan to attend this year’s conquest cup. While our team is open to everyone first training is given to people who have previous experience and interest in this sport. The reason for this is to ensure that trained people who have an interest can later provide training to those other students who want to learn. Firstly, you will be very happy to learn and engage with the traditional Turkish archery, because it is a sport with deep cultural and historical roots. After this, because of the psychological and physical relaxing effects of archery. While you will doing it you will see psychological benefits as you develop yourself physically. We await those students who choose Turkey’s first and only state university for social sciences. The Social Sciences University of Ankara and also to the archery team.
