A traditional Turkish archery workshop was held in Senegal as part of the 19 May Commemoration of Atatürk, Youth and Sports Day.

Türkiye's Dakar Ambassador Nur Sağman and representatives of Turkish institutions attended the workshop organized for TMV high school students in cooperation with the Turkish Embassy in Dakar, Dakar Yunus Emre Institute (YEI) and the Turkish Maarif Foundation (TMV) Senegal representatives.

Ambassador Sağman made a short speech about the meaning and importance of the day at the event held in the Dakar YEI garden, and then participated in the workshop and shot arrows.
