The Spirit of Literature: Knowledge Taking Root at Nordic

The conference brought together Navoi scholars, distinguished professors, and creative intellectuals from around the world who presented their research findings.

Sitora Shomurodova delivered a presentation on “‘Tuhfat as-salotin’ as a Source for the Interpretation of Navoi’s Works”, while Aziza Muratova spoke on “The Image of Prophet Yusuf (Joseph) in Alisher Navoi’s ‘Khamsa’.”

As a token of recognition, Turkish literary scholar Kemal Yavuz Ataman presented the lecturers with personal certificates for planting trees in the “Alisher Navoi Memorial Forest” in Konya, Turkey.

This symbolic gift stands as a living tribute to their contribution to the path of knowledge and enlightenment.

The Rector of Nordic International University, Professor Sherzod Mustafakulov, and the Director of the Alisher Navoi International Public Foundation, Chair of the Uzbek Language and Literature Jury “E voh,” Olimjon Davlatov, warmly congratulated the teachers and highly appreciated their achievements.

“E voh”-2025: The Light of Literature United the Enlightened Hearts of Teachers

As part of the “Sharing Knowledge” project, literary conversations and artistic programs were organized in cooperation with the Writers’ Union of Uzbekistan, inviting everyone to deep reflection.

A visit to the “Writers’ Alley” was arranged for the participating teachers, where they laid flowers at the monument of our great thinker Alisher Navoi.

Heartfelt literary and spiritual discussions featuring members of the Writers’ Union and poets Davron Rajab and Dadaxon Muhammadiy, as well as an inspiring poetry reading evening, brought the light of artistry into everyone’s hearts.

At the continuation of the event held before the monument dedicated to the memory of the prominent poet Erkin Vohidov, his enchanting poems were recited, harmoniously accompanied by music and dance performances.

Poems written by the Olympiad participants during these inspiring moments are planned to be published as a collection in collaboration with the Writers’ Union.

The Olympiad’s series of engaging and meaningful events will continue tomorrow as well.

“E voh-2025”: Talented Teachers Gathered at Nordic

For the first time, the “E voh” Olympiad has been organized in honor of October 21 — Uzbek Language Day, bringing together 10,507 teachers from across the republic.

The top 79 winners of the first stage have arrived to participate in the final round.

This Olympiad has become a true example of devotion and love for the Uzbek language. Teachers from all over the country — passionate about knowledge, eager to instill the beauty of their mother tongue in the hearts of the young generation, and open to innovation — are proudly taking part in this event.

At the opening, Professor Sherzod Mustafakulov, Rector of Nordic University, emphasized that this scholarly and educational initiative is not only a test of professional knowledge and competence, but also a significant platform that strengthens national pride and love for the mother tongue. He noted that the teachers’ participation today is more than just a competition — it is also a valuable contribution to the development of science and education in our country. All participants were wished success, great results, and bright victories.

The contestants were introduced to the Olympiad’s rules and evaluation criteria, and their essay-writing skills are being tested.

After the tests, participants will take part in academic discussions, visit the Alley of Scholars, and enjoy cultural and literary meetings as well as a festival dedicated to Uzbek Language Day at the Green Hills Resort mountain complex.

In the Olympiad, 1 gold, 3 silver, and 5 bronze medalists will be announced. Winners will also receive cash prizes, souvenirs, and international training opportunities in Finland and Sweden, which will be awarded in a ceremonial event.

Devotees of the Uzbek Language and Literature at the “E voh” Olympiad

Dedicated teachers selected from all regions of our country wrote essays on the topic “With the Homeland in the Heart, the Nation in the Soul: The Expression of National Spirit in Erkin Vohidov’s Works.” The topic was chosen by drawing lots from a set of assignments prepared by literary experts.

The evaluation criteria focused on assessing participants’ language proficiency, literacy, literary analysis skills, artistic thinking, and level of creativity.

In addition, participants completed closed test tasks on Uzbek language and literature.

The Olympiad was conducted transparently and fairly under the supervision of observers, ensuring equal conditions for everyone.
