Today, the team of the International Nordic University is carrying out large-scale scientific and educational outreach initiatives across 14 regions of the country.
The primary aim of this initiative is to raise graduates’ awareness of the importance of higher education, guide them toward informed career choices, and familiarize them with modern educational opportunities.
Within the framework of these meetings, face-to-face dialogues are being organized with school students. Through presentations, brochures, video materials, and real-life examples, participants are introduced to the latest reforms in the education system, contemporary learning processes, and effective pathways to becoming competitive professionals in today’s labor market.
In particular, during a meeting held at School No. 30 in the Sirdaryo Region, an open discussion was conducted with graduating students on the role of higher education in both individual and societal development, as well as the expanding opportunities for pursuing academic studies today. Using the example of the International Nordic University, students are gaining in-depth insights into перспективные academic programs, international cooperation initiatives, and the academic environment.
Similar educational outreach meetings have also been organized at School No. 1 in the Republic of Karakalpakstan, School No. 12 in the Namangan Region, Schools No. 2, 21, 28, and 31 in the Bukhara Region, School No. 6 and Academic Lyceum No. 51 (DIMI) in the Andijan Region, as well as School No. 12 in the Khorezm Region.
These meetings serve not only as outreach efforts but also as meaningful platforms for social and educational dialogue. They provide young people with the opportunity to receive direct answers to their questions and to define clear pathways for their personal and professional development.
This initiative by the Nordic team is becoming a significant force in strengthening the connection between education and young people stepping into adult life, while also fostering a deeper awareness of the value of knowledge and higher education among graduates.
Meetings with young people continue across all regions.
