Founded in 2023, the Turkic World Students Community is inspired by Ismail Gaspıralı’s motto: “Unity in Language, Thought, and Action.” The Community seeks to raise awareness among university students about the shared identity and heritage of the Turkic World, foster intellectual solidarity, and promote academic and cultural activities in this spirit. Our Community serves as an interdisciplinary and multicultural platform, bringing together young people from diverse regions of the Turkic World to collaborate toward common goals.
To encourage the exchange and development of ideas, we have organized a variety of events, including the Turkic World Joint Discussion, Joint Book Reading, and Common Issues Debates. One of our flagship initiatives was the Bishkek Summit, an international event that brought together students from across the Turkic World.
Additionally, in collaboration with the communities of Khoja Akhmet Yassawi International Kazakh-Turkish University and Kyrgyz-Turkish Manas University, we launched the Turkic World School of Thought—an international educational program initiated for the first time.
Drawing inspiration from Translator (Tercüman), the newspaper published by İsmail Gaspıralı, and Young Writers (Genç Kalemler), the magazine pioneered by Ömer Seyfettin, we proudly published our first print issue of Young Translator (Genç Tercümanlar).
Our core mission is to maintain the collective memory of the Turkic World and to empower intellectually capable and visionary youth who will shape its future. With this vision, we are building a vibrant student community that promotes the Turkic World identity both on campus and on the international stage.
