TURKIYE TAEKWONDO FEDERASYONU
Ankara, Türkiye
Description
The volunteering activity will take place in Ankara, Türkiye, between 10–26 November 2026, as part of the Türkiye National Teams Training Camps.
Volunteers from different European countries will support the Türkiye Taekwondo Federation in the organisation and daily implementation of the preparation camps.

The activity will provide volunteers with the opportunity to gain practical experience in sports organisation, teamwork and international cooperation. Previous experience is not required; responsibility, respect, openness and willingness to learn are more important.
