UWED Hosts Masterclass on Effective Methods for Learning Japanese Kanji

UWED Hosts Masterclass on Effective Methods for Learning Japanese Kanji

On November 11, 2026, the Department of Eastern Languages at the University of World Economy and Diplomacy hosted an interactive masterclass dedicated to modern and effective approaches to learning Japanese kanji characters. The event brought together first-year students from the Faculty of International Economics and Management who are studying Japanese. As the invited expert, Asami Tsukada, a professor at Nagoya University of Economics, shared her original teaching methods and practical educational tools designed to facilitate the learning and memorization of Japanese kanji. During the theoretical session, students explored the structure and underlying logic of kanji characters, examined their key components, and learned cognitive techniques for improving memorization. Particular attention was given to associative learning methods that help students understand and retain complex characters more effectively. The practical session was conducted in an interactive training format. Under the expert's guidance, participants practiced the correct stroke order, learned to analyze complex kanji by breaking them down into their constituent elements, and applied visualization techniques to enhance vocabulary retention. The masterclass provided students with an opportunity to consolidate their knowledge, acquire practical tools for independent Japanese language study, and strengthen their motivation for further learning. The event was held in support of United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 4 (SDG 4) — Quality Education. It also contributed to the exchange of international best practices in language education and the further improvement of Eastern language teaching methodologies at UWED.

New Opportunities on the Path to Sustainable Development

New Opportunities on the Path to Sustainable Development

Today, combating climate change is becoming not only an environmental necessity, but also a critical factor determining the economic competitiveness of states, their energy security, and their potential for international cooperation. From this perspective, the 31st session of the Conference of the Parties to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP31), held in the Turkish city of Antalya, opens up new opportunities for Uzbekistan to strengthen its position in international climate diplomacy, attract "green" investments, and accelerate sustainable economic development. In recent years, the climate agenda has become a top priority in international relations. Rising global temperatures, the depletion of water resources, and more frequent droughts and extreme weather events require states not only to take action at the national level, but also to pursue concerted international policies. The impacts of climate change are particularly severe for Central Asia. The rational use of water resources, combating desertification, adapting agriculture to new climatic conditions, and modernizing the power grid are among the region's most pressing challenges. Uzbekistan is actively engaged in these processes, seeking to inextricably link climate issues with foreign policy, economic reforms, and regional cooperation. COP31 can serve as an important diplomatic platform for promoting this approach on the international stage. As a party to the Paris Agreement, Uzbekistan consistently pursues policies aimed at fulfilling its international commitments to combat climate change. The country is carrying out reforms to develop renewable energy sources, improve energy efficiency, ensure the sustainable use of natural resources, and foster the environmental sustainability of economic sectors. Climate diplomacy holds a special place in this process, encompassing the acquisition of advanced technologies, the expansion of partnerships with international financial institutions, the protection of national interests, and the promotion of regional initiatives. Uzbekistan's initiatives to improve the environmental situation in the Aral Sea region serve as a prime example. COP31 opens up opportunities to share this experience with the global community and attract additional financial and technological resources for ongoing projects in the Aral Sea region. Another crucial aspect is that the transition to a green economy is now of strategic importance for Uzbekistan's long-term development. The country's policy in this area is aimed at driving economic growth through the efficient use of resources, minimizing environmental impact, and adopting innovative technologies. In particular, solar and wind energy development projects are a tangible manifestation of these transformations. The growing domestic demand for clean energy is creating a favorable environment for investment in renewables. At the same time, the green economy is not confined to the energy sector alone. The adoption of energy-saving technologies in industrial enterprises, the expansion of water-saving irrigation systems, the development of eco-friendly transport, and waste recycling are also integral to this process. However, transitioning to a green economy requires large-scale investments. Consequently, climate finance could become one of the key items on Uzbekistan's COP31 agenda. Specifically, diversifying funding sources through green bonds, concessional loans, grants, public-private partnerships, and international climate funds is of paramount importance. In this context, COP31 will provide Uzbekistan with a platform to pitch concrete investment proposals to foreign partners and forge new partnerships. It is worth emphasizing that in Central Asia, water resources, transboundary rivers, energy grids, and agriculture are inextricably linked. In this context, Uzbekistan has every opportunity to strengthen multilateral dialogue, foster mutually beneficial cooperation in the water and energy sectors, and promote joint climate change adaptation initiatives. Furthermore, the effectiveness of climate policy is not measured solely by greenhouse gas emission reductions. One of its most critical criteria is building the resilience of communities and the economy against climate risks. In Uzbekistan's context, this primarily means adapting to water scarcity, sustaining agricultural yields, mitigating the impact of heatwaves on public health, and improving disaster preparedness. Moreover, the significance of international climate conferences lies not only in their declarations but also in how the agreements are implemented in practice. It is therefore crucial to orient Uzbekistan's participation in COP31 toward achieving concrete economic and institutional results. Key priorities include building a pipeline of investment-ready green projects, enhancing the capacity to leverage international financing mechanisms, and strengthening public-private partnerships. COP31 offers Uzbekistan an opportunity to elevate its role in international climate diplomacy and accelerate its transition to a green economy. The key task now is to align global climate initiatives with the specific needs of the national economy and translate international agreements into tangible projects.
