Training of Trainers on Ensuring a Safe Educational Environment in Schools

A four-day intensive Training of Trainers was held in Bishkek, dedicated to implementing the Methodological Guide on Ensuring a Safe Educational Environment for teachers and social workers.

The event was organized under the "Safe Educational Environment" project by Good Neighbors in the Kyrgyz Republic in collaboration with the Ministry of Education of the Kyrgyz Republic. The official opening was attended by Altynbek Erkimbekov, Head of the Department of Upbringing and Additional Education at the Ministry of Education.

The primary goal of the initiative is to promote the creation of a safe, violence-free school environment for children and adolescents. Over the course of four days, participants mastered key aspects of adult learning, examined response algorithms for various types of violence and bullying (including cyberbullying), studied the trauma-informed approach, legal frameworks for child protection, and effective strategies for engaging with families and school staff.

Strengthening the capacity of teachers and social workers is a crucial step by Good Neighbors toward implementing unified child protection standards, expanding access to a supportive school atmosphere, and shaping a psychologically healthy future for the younger generation.

Piano performance by our young musician AliHamza Esen

One year ago, in the Asia Mall shopping center, in the Beauty Club area, a special place appeared — a charity corner of Good Neighbors Kyrgyz Republic. This is a space where anyone can pause amidst the usual shopping hustle, play the piano, and bring warmth to children who are in great need of support. 🎹💚

Recently, our young musician AliHamza Esen (@alihamza_esen_) shared this wonderful video with us. How wonderful it is when music becomes the language of kindness, uniting people around one important goal. ❤️

All funds collected in the charity box go toward implementing Good Neighbors' charitable projects to support children and families in need.

We sincerely thank everyone who stops by our piano, plays, makes a donation, or simply supports this good initiative. It is thanks to you that music turns into real help, and together we give hope and create positive change.
