Creativity- thinking outside the box- was not necessarily encouraged in the Soviet education. Repercussions of this deficiency continue to hold Kyrgyzstan back from reaching its potential as a creative influence locally and abroad. Our art and woodworking lessons are designed to give young people creative and practical skills, critical thinking, attention to detail, healthy work ethic and new avenues for income. Exhibitions in the community and trainings for art teachers raise awareness of the need for creativity, and equip teachers to give better art lessons.
