On March 21, Nordic International University widely celebrated the Eastern New Year — the national holiday Navruz — under the inspiring slogan "May Your Values Remain Eternal, Navruz."

As nature awakens with the breath of spring, the university grounds were adorned with festive spring decorations reflecting our national heritage. The Nordic community welcomed this beautiful occasion in traditional Uzbek attire, demonstrating unity and hospitality.  


As part of the "Uzbekistan Trek-2025" program, Nordic University warmly welcomed a group of Harvard University master's students and researchers visiting Uzbekistan.  


The rector of Nordic University, professor Sherzod Mustafakulov, congratulated the event participants and guests, extending his heartfelt wishes.  


Charos Akhmedova, a teacher at Nordic University and winner of the international competition "European Stars," along with Zarnigor Umarova — a talented singer, "Nihol" award winner, and participant in the international music show "The Voice" — captivated the audience with their outstanding performances. Other gifted vocalists also delighted the guests with their artistry.  


The immortal spirit of Navruz, with its universal and timeless values, shone brightly as international guests from various countries were invited to explore the university grounds. Guests admired beautifully arranged tables filled with traditional delicacies from different regions of Uzbekistan, spring dishes, exhibits of folk arts, handicrafts, and national attire.  


The traditional "full cauldron" ritual, symbolizing abundance and prosperity, was showcased. The time-honored dish sumalak, cooked overnight, was served to the guests. Freshly baked kuk samsa was presented straight from the tandir ovens, and fragrant Uzbek pilaf was generously offered.  


Throughout the celebration, guests eagerly participated in traditional games such as tug-of-war and besh tosh. Women also engaged in the customs of applying usma and henna.  


Colorful kites filled the clear sky, and doves — symbols of peace and friendship — were released into the air.  


The Harvard University guests expressed their gratitude to Nordic University for the memorable celebration and warm hospitality. 

As a token of appreciation, they were presented with traditional Uzbek clothing.  


Members of the distinguished delegation, representing various nationalities, witnessed Uzbek customs firsthand, actively joining in the festivities. They left heartfelt impressions in Nordic University's "Dil Izhorlari"(expressions of the heart) book.

Master's Thesis Defenses Underway at Nordic University

In particular, master's students specializing in Journalism presented the outcomes of their research on a range of contemporary issues closely associated with globalization and the ongoing processes of digital transformation.


The defended studies addressed such significant topics as the representation of literary promotion in print media, mechanisms of media manipulation in the context of globalization, the role of travel journalism in increasing tourist flows, the influence of mass media on enhancing women's social engagement in Uzbekistan, as well as the transformation of media consumption patterns in the era of digital technologies. These research projects demonstrated both theoretical depth and practical relevance.
