Celebrating Republic Day at the Online Speaking Club

🇹🇷✨ We celebrated the 103rd anniversary of our Republic by speaking English at the Online Speaking Club!

This week’s topic at the KOZ-DER Online Speaking Club, which meets every Wednesday evening on Google Meet, was Republic Day on 29 October. Our participants decorated their screens with Turkish flags and joined the session in a festive spirit. 🇹🇷

Talking About Our History in English

During the session we talked in English about the proclamation of the Republic, the journey from the War of Independence to the Republic, and what the Republic means to us today. As we discussed key turning points in our history, we remembered those moments together, and each participant shared in their own words what the Republic means to them. 💬

Telling our own history in another language was a great chance both to practise English and to think about how we can share these values with people from other cultures. 🌍

With Respect and Gratitude

On this occasion, we remember with gratitude and respect Gazi Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, the founder of our Republic, and all our martyrs who gave their lives for this country. 🤍

Happy Republic Day! 🇹🇷
