Guests of the University of Warsaw's Centre for Europe: a conversation with students about Türkiye and Europe

The Centre for Europe of the University of Warsaw (Centrum Europejskie UW) invited its students and staff to a meeting with two guests: İpek Tekdemir, adviser on policy and strategic communication in the European Parliament and Secretary-General of the EU–Türkiye Friendship Group, and Mehmet Göktürk İplikçioğlu, Honorary President of TURKPOL. The meeting was the Centre's; TURKPOL's Honorary President took part as a guest.

What we talked about

The Centre chose the theme: Türkiye's role in European security, and the part strategic communication plays in shaping that debate and in supporting international dialogue. The students also asked about careers: what it takes to work in the institutions that deal with these questions, and how to get there.

What comes next

The meeting was also a chance to talk with the Centre about further cooperation with TURKPOL. Students who want to know more about Türkiye, or to work between Poland and Türkiye, are welcome to join our Academic Club, TURKPOL's home for students, young researchers and graduates, and our Youth Club. For TURKPOL, the meeting belongs with the work of the Academic Club, which connects the association with universities.

Thank you to the Centre for Europe for the invitation, to İpek Tekdemir, and to the students for their questions.
