The association aims to unite active students from southern Kyrgyzstan and ensure that their perspectives are considered during the decision-making processes of the state.

Strengthening cooperation between universities

The initiative, organized by Adilet Usenov, head of the Chapayevka aiyl okmotu, was launched ahead of Youth Day. The meeting in Manas included student representatives and Kubanychbek Shermatov, the deputy mayor of Manas for social issues.

During the event, participants developed strategies to strengthen friendships between higher education institutions and expand cooperation among students. The organizers emphasized that the association will provide a platform for young people to express their positions on important national matters rather than remaining indifferent.

Our goal is to increase the role of youth, so that when state decisions are made, young people do not remain indifferent, express their position, and their opinion is обязательно taken into account.
