IZTECH GO PLAYERS & TURKISH-JAPANESE CULTURE COMMUNITY
By Spring Semester,2007 preparations for our community had started off and on 13.07.2007 the community was officially recognized by the student activities commision of IZTECH under the name of
“GO PLAYERS & TURK-JAPAN CULTURE COMMUNITY”.
Though being China originated, Go has become more popular in Japan and lately it has taken over the world. It has started to be played in Turkey,too. Even in the well-known universities of Turkey such as ODTU,Hacettepe,ITU Go communities has started to be found and Go tournaments have started to be held. Our community is the first Go community of a university in both Izmir and Aegean region.
The aim of our community is to get together the students who play Go, introduce the game to newcomers, train them and form a Go team to represent our university in the tournaments.
Besides, our community has a subgroup to organize activities to make students familiar with Japanese culture, to arrange events to show anime, to teach Japanese arts like origami and to present a stand in the annual spring festival of our university. The students only interested in Japanese culture can join our community,too.
We’re looking forward to your participation.
