All About Student Clubs

Bilkent Jonglörler Topluluğu

Bilkent Juggling Club is a club for anyone who is interested in juggling. It has been founded in 1999 by Enis Yuğnak and his friends.

Their aim as a club is to give jugglers in our school an opportunity to meet each other and practice together. Also, they teach people who are new to juggling how to juggle, so non-jugglers are welcome as well. They use a lot of different props such as balls, clubs, poi, stuff, contact balls, etc.

Juggling is not very popular in Turkey. Moreover, it is known only as a circus act. They try to show the participants it is much more than that. They want people to understand that juggling can be considered a sport, an art, or just a hobby, and it is a much bigger world than people think.

They practice once or twice a week, generally in the Main Sports Hall. They perform in Mayfest, and sometimes perform voluntarily for various organizations such as Bilkent TDP or LÖSEV.
