Description
The Turkish Society is a vibrant and inclusive community at Liverpool John Moores University, dedicated to celebrating Turkish culture, traditions, and the spirit of togetherness. Our society offers a welcoming space not only for students of Turkish heritage but also for anyone interested in learning about and experiencing Turkish culture firsthand. Through social events, cultural celebrations, and community gatherings, we create opportunities for people from all backgrounds to connect, share, and enjoy the richness of Turkey’s heritage in a friendly and supportive environment.
About Us
At the heart of the Turkish Society is a desire to foster connection and cultural pride among students who identify as Turkish, alongside those who simply want to explore and appreciate our culture. We aim to build a strong, welcoming community where everyone feels at home, whether you speak Turkish fluently or are just starting to learn. Our society celebrates everything from traditional food, music, and dance to modern Turkish customs, creating a space to meet new friends, share experiences, and engage with the culture in fun and meaningful ways. Whether you’re a newcomer to the university or a returning member, the Turkish Society is a place where cultural heritage and university life come together to create lasting memories.

We will regularly update all event details, dates, and locations on our Instagram page, making it easy for members to stay informed and get involved. Whether you prefer social gatherings, sports activities, or cultural events, there is something for everyone to enjoy.
