THE SECOND MASTER CLASS ON “SOFT POWER DIPLOMACY” WAS HELD AT UWED

On October 16, 2026, the University of World Economy and Diplomacy (UWED) hosted the second master class as part of an educational initiative led by Shaxnoza Ganiyeva, Associate Professor at the University. The initiative aims to broaden students’ intellectual horizons, introduce young people to the rich historical and cultural heritage of the Uzbek people, and develop the professional competencies of future specialists.

The event focused on the significance of the works of our great ancestors, their contributions to the development of world science, culture, and art, as well as the importance of preserving and promoting spiritual heritage in educating the younger generation. Particular emphasis was placed on the role of historical experience and the creative legacy of outstanding figures in shaping the worldview of today’s youth.

A key part of the master class was the screening of an original film by Shaxnoza Ganiyeva dedicated to the life and artistic legacy of Kamoliddin Behzod, an outstanding miniature painter whose work holds a distinguished place in the history of Eastern art. The film offered students an opportunity to explore the legacy of this great master, gain a deeper understanding of the distinctive features of Eastern miniature painting, and appreciate the significance of his contribution to world culture.

The event provided a platform for meaningful discussion on intergenerational continuity, the preservation of historical memory, and the promotion of cultural values. Exploring the legacy of outstanding ancestors helps foster respect for national history among students, develop their aesthetic appreciation, and deepen their understanding of the importance of Uzbekistan’s cultural heritage in the modern world.

The continuation of this series of master classes is intended to strengthen students’ interest in history, art, and spiritual heritage, encourage the exchange of knowledge and ideas, and enrich the educational process through new approaches to learning. Studying the legacy of our great ancestors and promoting it among young people are essential to nurturing an educated and spiritually mature generation that values its history and culture.
