Launched by the World Ethnosport Union, the Ethno Truck Project continues to bring traditional sports, games and cultural values together with participants in different cities across Türkiye throughout 2026. The program, which began in March and will continue until November, meets visitors in a wide range of venues, from universities and city squares to culture festivals and children’s events.

As part of its 2026 event calendar, the Ethno Truck offers children, young people and families the opportunity to experience traditional sports through a total of 31 events in 22 different provinces. Programs held in cities such as Isparta, Burdur, Antalya, Ankara, Niğde, Bursa, Aydın, Denizli, Eskişehir, Sakarya, Kütahya, Sinop, Samsun, Tokat and Nevşehir have been completed with strong participation.

Throughout the rest of the year, the Ethno Truck will continue to meet participants in Konya, Malatya, Ordu, Kayseri, Ankara, Diyarbakır, İzmir and Adana, particularly at the stops of the Culture Route Festival. In this way, traditional sports and games will continue to be introduced through experience-oriented activities in different regions of Türkiye.

At the event area, visitors experience traditional sports and games such as archery, horseback riding, arrow battles, kol kapama, mas wrestling, mangala, Nine Stones–Three Stones, pottery game, fortress game and hoop play. They also have the opportunity to take part in workshops such as linden print tote bag making, face painting, marbling art and glasswork.

As one of the key projects of the World Ethnosport Union’s vision to preserve traditional sports and cultural values, the Ethno Truck stands out as a mobile meeting point that carries culture from city to city.
