TUFAK was established in 1958 in order to study our folk dance, folk music and cultural values, thereby creating an anthology and transferring these assets to the next generation and to introduce our country to the world thereby contributing to the development of the country culture and tourism, and as an amateur club, it has continuously carried on its activities in light of these objectives for the last 50 years.
In three international contests, namely, “Carthaginian Festival” in Tunisia in 1968, “Dijon Festival” in France in 1981 and “Zwollen Festival” in Czechoslovakia in 1983, it had the pleasure to represent our country and came first, and as a result, had the satisfaction for achieving its mission in line with its objectives.
Our club has intensively and successfully been involved and is still engaged with the EU Youth Exchange Projects both in different regions of our country and abroad since 2005, and so far, it has had the honor to receive several success plaques and laudatory documents from numerous public and private organizations.
At the end of a half century, in each year of which we made every effort with the same excitement in an amateur enthusiasm, we here express our sincere affections and give our warmest regards to all associates, acquaintances and families who contributed in the past and still contributes significantly to this notable endeavor made for years altruistically, and celebrate the 50th anniversary of TUFAK with good wishes for both our beautiful and admirable country and TUFAK.

The Grundtvig programme focuses on the teaching and study needs of learners taking adult education and ‘alternative’ education courses, as well as the organisations delivering these services. It aims to help develop the adult education sector, as well as enable more people to undertake learning experiences, notably in other European countries.
Launched in 2000, Grundtvig aims to provide adults with more ways to improve their knowledge and skills, facilitate their personal development and boost their employment prospects. It also helps to tackle problems associated with Europe’s ageing population.
It covers not only teachers, trainers, staff and organisations working in the sector, but also learners in adult education. These include relevant associations, counselling organisations, information services, policy-making bodies and others such as NGOs, enterprises, voluntary groups and research centres.
The programme funds a range of activities, including particularly those supporting adult learning staff to travel abroad for learning experiences, through exchanges and various other professional experiences. Other larger scale initiatives involve, for instance, networking and partnerships between organisations in different countries.
