Prominent representatives of the intelligentsia who hold a respected position in society participated in the event as guests. Among them was O. Bekmurodova — a poet, journalist, member of the Writers’ Union of Uzbekistan, and advisor to the Hokim of Yashnobod District. In her speeches, she addressed issues of spirituality, the image of women, youth education, and the artistic interpretation of national values. I. Khayitov — Doctor of Historical Sciences, Professor, and member of the Republican Society of Spiritual Enlighteners — delivered a presentation highlighting the traditions of tolerance that have developed in the territory of Uzbekistan since ancient times, the historical roots of harmony among various nations and ethnic groups, and their role in the country’s contemporary development.

Within the framework of the event, open discussions, question-and-answer sessions, spiritual and educational presentations were held, and the opinions and reflections of young participants were heard. This contributed to fostering students’ ability to freely express their views, substantiate their perspectives, and develop an active stance toward significant social processes.
