- What is Yûnus’un Otağı?
Established in 2022 by Yunus Emre Enstitüsü – London, Yûnus’un Otağı (meaning Yunus’ Tent) is inspired by the great Turkish poet Yunus Emre and the traditional Turkish tents that once served as communal spaces. This unique club is designed to bring people together through language and culture, offering a relaxed and fun environment to improve Turkish speaking skills while immersing in cultural activities.
- What to Expect?
On Friday evenings, under the guidance of Dr. Hadra Kübra Erkınay Tamtamış and Nazlıcan Duruk Erden, we dive into a new theme, where students engage in interactive games, discussions, hands-on workshops, and cultural experiences. Each session is designed to be both educational and enjoyable.
