    Psychological training seminar at UWED: “If you don’t change today...”

    Psychological training seminar at UWED: “If you don’t change today...”

    At the University of World Economy and Diplomacy, a psychological training seminar was organized for female students on the topic “If you don’t change today...”, aimed at developing the competencies of self-knowledge, moving towards clear goals and making responsible choices in future activities. The event, held in collaboration with university psychologist N. Norova, specialist of the Office of Youth Affairs F. Ernazarova and coordinators of the Youth Union, was aimed at increasing not only the intellectual, but also the socio-psychological potential of female students. During the seminar, the main attention was paid to the formation of psychological immunity in female students, which is necessary to create a sustainable healthy environment in the family, society and in the chosen professional field. Experts especially emphasized that a modern professional must have not only high knowledge, but also social flexibility, stress resistance and skills in meaningful organization of leisure time. In this context, the ideas put forward by Saida Mirziyoyeva that quality education of women is a fundamental guarantee not only of personal success, but also of the development of the entire society, turned out to be consonant with the socio-psychological content of the training. After all, as S. Mirziyoyeva emphasized, an educated woman who knows her rights and is spiritually strong is the basis of a strong society. In this sense, girls’ awareness of their inner “I”, freedom from social pressure when making professional choices and the formation of leadership qualities were recognized as one of the most important social requirements of our time. The classes were conducted on the basis of deep psychological analysis and interactive methods, rich in motivation. In particular, with the help of such exercises as the introspective technique “Truth in Silence” and “Fear Scenario”, students learned to overcome social stereotypes and maximize their inner potential. At the end of the event, the most active students were adequately rewarded. The seminar instilled in the participants a firm belief that personal change is the first step towards social well-being.

    The Oretical and Practical Issues of Construction Contracts Discussed at UWED

    The Oretical and Practical Issues of Construction Contracts Discussed at UWED

    On March 10 of this year, a master class dedicated to one of the most pressing topics in jurisprudence – “The importance of construction contracts in the Civil Law of the Republic of Uzbekistan and its role in practice” – was held at the University of World Economy and Diplomacy. This event was organized by the Head of the Department of Civil Law and International Private Law Disciplines, Sh. Masadikov, and professor of the same Department N. Raimova, with the aim of enriching students’ theoretical knowledge through real legal cases and analyzing contemporary trends in this field. Industry experts participated in the master class with their reports: Munira Ismoilova, a corporate lawyer from the “Lawpower” law firm, and Zamira Allambergenova, a master’s student in the “International Business Law” direction at UWED. Along with the professors and teachers of the “Civil Law and International Private Law Disciplines” department, 2nd-year students of the “International Law” faculty actively participated and exchanged views on subtle legal aspects (nuances) in the field. During the session, the concept of the construction contract, the specific procedures for its formation, and the mutual rights and obligations of the parties were comprehensively analyzed through the prism of the Civil Code of the Republic of Uzbekistan. Using real-life examples, the speakers highlighted typical practical errors made in formalizing contracts specifically in the fields of construction and services, as well as issues of liability for latent defects arising during the acceptance of the work result. Furthermore, effective legal mechanisms for resolving disputes arising from contractual relations in our national legislation were at the center of the discussion at the meeting. This scientific-practical dialogue is distinguished by its harmony with the ideas of Sustainable Development Goal 9 – “Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure” and Goal 16 – “Peace, Justice, and Strong Institutions”. It was specifically emphasized that the legal stability of infrastructure projects is the main guarantee for sustainable construction and quality industrialization in our country. At the end of the event, conclusions were drawn on how closely the principles of SDG target 16.3 – “Ensuring the rule of law and expanding access to justice” – are linked with the freedom of contract and equality of parties in civil law. Undoubtedly, such master classes serve to raise legal awareness among future specialists and ensure the strong integration of theory and practice.

These platforms allow students to consolidate their knowledge, expand their vocabulary and make the learning process more interesting. At the end of the seminar, it was noted that the use of interactive methods in foreign language classes significantly increases the effectiveness of learning. The experience of European universities shows that the use of modern interactive methods and online games makes the language learning process more exciting and effective.
