From 17 to 26 September 2019, " Open Days" took place within the framework of the project "Libraries as spaces for adult education" at the adult education centers of public libraries in Batken, Talas, Osh, and Bishkek. The project is implemented jointly with the Association "Library and Information Consortium" in Kyrgyzstan.
After the opening of the symbolic doors, the visitors had an opportunity to get acquainted with activities of DVV International in Kyrgyzstan and Central Asia, to learn about planned activities in public libraries, which will include various trainings (financial literacy, computer skills, learning English and Russian languages, critical thinking, etc.). Libraries will also develop and implement club and other training activities for the general public, as well as for particularly vulnerable groups.
Among the invitees were representatives of regional administrations, mayors' offices and local residents (including pensioners, unemployed, youth). Read more
