The Legal Clinic of the University of World Economy and Diplomacy (UWED) successfully hosted its inaugural founding meeting for volunteers. This event marked an important step in defining the Clinic’s future development, organizational structure, and the opportunities being created for its volunteer community.

During the meeting, the head of the Clinic delivered a comprehensive presentation on the history of its establishment, its core mission, key operational objectives, and the approaches undertaken to strengthen legal assistance mechanisms in Uzbekistan. Participants were introduced individually, which helped foster an atmosphere of trust, open dialogue, and a strong culture of volunteerism within the team.

One of the key highlights of the meeting was the announcement that the Legal Clinic has initiated the process of obtaining official registration as a volunteer organization in Uzbekistan. This milestone will enable the Clinic to institutionalize its activities and further expand its operations both locally and internationally. According to its strategic goals, the Clinic aims to broaden cooperation with international partners and implement a wide range of projects focused on social protection and legal awareness.

The future activities of the organization will encompass several priority areas, including:

 • providing legal support and protection for minors;

 • offering free legal consultations and documentation assistance to elderly citizens;

 • promoting environmental initiatives and expanding volunteer activities related to environmental law and sustainability.

This inaugural meeting served as a foundational step in defining the roles, responsibilities, and upcoming projects of the volunteer team. It also demonstrated that the Legal Clinic is entering a new stage of development, reinforcing its commitment to delivering socially significant legal services to the community.
