The Academy of Turkish Philately
Seminars

Turkish philately has a weak tradition of seminars or trainings. The number of seminars we organized until 2014 does not exceed the fingers of two hands. Seminars and trainings, which is one of our founding goals, have started to be organized since 2015. Meetings are held physically or virtually in different cities such as Ankara, Istanbul, Izmir and Nicosia, as well as with different institutions such as PTT Museum, Koç University, TAD, METU Alumni Association, FSM University in the projects we take part in, which we call special. While we used to organize seminars with a more classical perspective, giving detailed information about the collection presentation FIP classes, since 2020, we have been organizing seminars on the new face of philately and experimental classes.
