Creative meetings were held at schools affiliated with the National University of Uzbekistan (NUU), including School No. 22 and School No. 133 in Olmazor District of Tashkent, featuring Olimjon Davlatov – Director of the Institute for Socio-Spiritual Research, recipient of the “Shuhrat” Medal, and a renowned scholar of Alisher Navoi. Similar events were organized at Schools No. 24 and No. 29 with the participation of prominent poet Khurshid Abdurashid.

As part of the event, the guest writers, university representatives, and school administrators took part in a tree planting ceremony held under the framework of the national “Green Space” initiative. This activity aimed to foster environmental awareness among students, encouraging a sense of responsibility toward nature and respect for the principles of sustainable development.

During the creative sessions, the writers engaged in open dialogue with students, encouraging them to pursue excellence guided not only by patriotism, literature, and a love of knowledge, but also by core values such as environmental stewardship and conscious attitudes toward climate change.

These meetings served as a meaningful platform – both educational and practical – for raising students’ climate literacy, deepening their understanding of the negative impacts of climate change, and cultivating a generation ready to take personal responsibility for building a more sustainable future.

In their talks, the guest writers also reflected on how climate change is portrayed in literature, highlighting the delicate balance between humanity and nature and the moral duty to preserve natural beauty. These discussions fostered in students a creative, critical, and responsible approach to today’s global challenges.

Such initiatives launched by the National University of Uzbekistan play a vital role in broadening school students’ knowledge and awareness of climate change, environmental protection, and sustainable development, while helping nurture educated, active, and socially responsible youth.
