Traditional Turkish Archery Introduced in Tunisia

Traditional Turkish archery was showcased in a special event at the Maarif International Schools in Tunis, organized by the Tunisian Association for the Protection of Games and Heritage Sports, a member of the World Ethnosport Union, in collaboration with the Yunus Emre Institute.

The program was attended by Türkiye’s Ambassador to Tunisia, Ahmet Misbah Demircan, representatives of Türkiye institutions in Tunisia, students, and teachers.

İzzeddin Buzid, President of the Tunisia Ethnosport Association, emphasized that the event strengthened cultural and sporting relations between Türkiye and Tunisia. “This initiative is not just a sports activity but a bridge for intergenerational cultural transmission. Our goal is to promote traditional archery in schools and cultural centers across Tunisia,” he stated.

Buzid also highlighted the importance of traditional sports in developing balance, self-discipline, and identity awareness among children and youth. The event contributes to the World Ethnosport Union and its member federations’ mission of preserving, promoting, and transmitting traditional sports and games to future generations.
