Global Youth Network: Online Sessions Held Between Students from Kyrgyzstan and Korea
From June 18 to 24, 2026, online exchange sessions continued between primary school students from the Kyrgyz Republic and the Republic of Korea under the Global Youth Network (GYN) program.
Global Youth Network is an international program of Good Neighbors International that brings together children and youth from different countries to promote global citizenship, leadership, and social responsibility. The program aims to raise awareness of global issues and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), while also developing communication, cooperation, and active civic participation skills.
During the online sessions, students had the opportunity to communicate with their peers from another country, get to know each other, and participate in cultural exchange activities. The sessions were held in a friendly atmosphere and became an important step toward strengthening international understanding and fostering global perspectives among young people.
Participants will continue to engage in exchange activities and educational sessions designed to develop leadership skills, critical thinking, teamwork, and a deeper understanding of global challenges.
We are pleased to inform you that Good Neighbors Kyrgyz Republic successfully completed the "National Testing" project in 2024, within which the last stage was to conduct post-testing of 11th grade students in 4 regions of the country.
The post-testing process within the framework of the project is necessary to analyze the effectiveness of the 3-month process of teaching schoolchildren and preparing students for the national testing (ORT), which was conducted by a team of professionals.
We believe and wish that students of schools where the Branch is actively involved in the development of the education sector will receive good scores and will be able to enroll in universities.
