Youth Voice for Ecology: Eco-Debates Held in Osh Schools
Environmental debates (Eco-Debate) among high school students were successfully held at Secondary School No. 48 (Kerme-Too) and Secondary School No. 45 named after M. Myrzaev in Osh city.
Although for many students this was their first experience participating in debates, from the very beginning they demonstrated great interest, active participation, and sincere engagement in discussing current environmental issues. During the event, participants learned how to express their opinions with arguments, listen to opposing views, work as a team, and collaboratively find solutions.
The eco-debates became an important platform for developing public speaking, critical thinking, leadership, and teamwork skills.
We hope that such initiatives will inspire young people to continue their personal development and participate in future debate tournaments, helping to build an active civic position.
Since September 2024, Good Neighbors Kyrgyz Republic has launched an ambitious project to introduce STEAM education into the school system. The project covers 16 schools in 4 CDP area.
The aim of the project is to improve the quality of education, prepare students for modern challenges and opportunities, stimulating their interest in exact sciences and technologies. STEAM is not just about knowledge — it is an approach that shapes future leaders and innovators!
We believe that such initiatives will help Kyrgyz schoolchildren to step towards innovation and international education standards.

In October 2024, Good Neighbors Kyrgyz Republic held a training session on climate change adaptation and sustainable agriculture in the Orozbekov aiyl okmoty of the Kadamzhai district, Batken oblast. The training was attended by members of the operational committee, water users from the "Kayindy-Ohna" Water Management Unit, water source managers (murabs), representatives from women's and youth committees, and representatives from the village council.
During the training, a plan of action for local communities to deal with climate change was discussed, and sustainable solutions were proposed. This project is being implemented on the basis of a project called "Enhancing Climate Resilience and Livelihoods through Orchard Cultivation and Sustainable Water Management in Batken Oblast."
