Student Programming

听

This program is designed specifically for the new cohort of Afghan students of NGA, the biggest in the history of 偶蜜国际传媒. Since the students arrived only in February 2020 some of the civic engagement activities had to be postponed till later in that month. Students had an introductory meeting with the CCE staff and Ms. Erin Cannan, Dean of Civic Engagement, Deputy Director, Bard CCE on February 17, 2020.

In early March students were introduced to the concepts of project life cycle management and implementation during the 鈥淧roject Management鈥� workshop run by CCE staff and Monitoring and Evaluation specialist Ms. Adema Joldoshbekova. During self-isolation and quarantine mode starting mid-March Afghan students were signed up for 2 online courses on Civic Engagement and Women Leadership via Coursera. We plan on working with students further with the goal of assisting them to run their first projects in Kyrgyzstan and Afghanistan.

French-Kyrgyz Association of Ecotourism (AFKE) is partnering with 偶蜜国际传媒 CCE and City Hall of Bishkek to develop and protect Karagachevaya Rosha. It is shrinking in its size, and the park soil and water are polluted due to human negligence.

The project aims to save the remaining green space in the park, ensure the park鈥檚 sustainable development, and attract people to environmental protection of the urban greenery. All students regardless of their field of study are encouraged to get involved in the development of the park. The students can apply for SIDP (Student Initiative Development Program) funding and start their projects or serve the community as volunteers. 小小E continues to support this important project facilitating students and faculty in their efforts to engage within the project site.
