During the master class, Charlotte Kramer discussed the work of Müller & Schindler, the publisher's international experience, and the importance of facsimile editions in preserving and popularizing unique cultural heritage. For many years, the publishing house has worked to reproduce historical manuscripts and rare documents with the utmost fidelity to the originals, contributing to their preservation and introduction into broad academic and cultural circulation. Particular attention was given to the publisher's collaboration with its Uzbek partners. Since 2017, Müller & Schindler has participated in several large-scale projects dedicated to the cultural heritage of Uzbekistan. These include facsimile editions of the Katta Langar Quran, the “Divan” of Husayn Bayqara, the “Zafarnama”, “Temur Tuzuklari”, and other unique manuscript treasures. In turn, Wiland Scharf presented the experience of Blue Planet TV Production GmbH in television production and documentary content.

Over its years of operation, the company has implemented numerous international projects and television programs. Participants showed particular interest in the practical aspects of how international media and production companies operate: from finding unique stories and developing a media product concept to selecting modern formats for presenting them to a wide audience. The guests also shared their impressions of Uzbekistan, noting its rich historical and cultural heritage, its unique blend of tradition and modernity, and the country's significant potential for international publishing, television, and cultural media projects.

The conference was dedicated to discussing the practical implementation of the new UN General Assembly resolution “On strengthening the role of parliaments in accelerating social development”, adopted on July 24, 2026 at the initiative of the President of the Republic of Uzbekistan Shavkat Mirziyoyev. The conference was attended by representatives of the Senate and Legislative Chamber of the Oliy Majlis, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the country's leading think tanks and universities, the UN system, the diplomatic corps, as well as embassies of more than 20 foreign states accredited in the Republic of Uzbekistan. Welcoming words were delivered by the First Deputy Chairman of the Senate of the Oliy Majlis of the Republic of Uzbekistan, Rector of UWED Sodik Safoev, UN Permanent Coordinator in Uzbekistan Sabine Mahl, Chairman of the Legislative Chamber of the Oliy Majlis Committee on International Affairs, Defense and Security Issues Ulugbek Shermatov and Deputy Director of the CVPI Valijon Khoshimov. The main report was made by the Chairman of the Senate Committee of the Oliy Majlis on International Relations, Foreign Economic Relations, Foreign Investments and Tourism Issues Alisher Agzamkhodjaev. During the speeches, the important role of parliaments in the formation of effective social policy, achieving the Sustainable Development Goals, strengthening social justice, as well as the development of international and inter-parliamentary cooperation was emphasized. During the first session of the conference, issues of legislative support for state social policy, the role of parliaments in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals until 2030, increasing the openness of parliamentary activities and strengthening interaction with civil society were discussed. The participants reviewed modern approaches to parliamentary participation in the implementation of social policy and exchanged views on the role of legislative and public mechanisms in achieving the goals of social development. During the second session, issues of the role of inter-parliamentary cooperation in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals, interaction of parliaments with UN agencies and international organizations, as well as prospects for international cooperation in implementing social initiatives and improving the quality of life of the population were considered. The initiative to adopt a corresponding resolution was put forward by the Head of Uzbekistan during the general debate of the 75th session of the UN General Assembly in September 2020, at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. Against the backdrop of the challenges identified during the crisis, the adopted resolution confirmed the increasing role of parliaments in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals and implementing the UN 2030 Agenda, strengthening social justice, increasing the participation of women and youth in legislative activities, as well as developing international cooperation in the social sphere. The document particularly notes Uzbekistan’s contribution to the development of parliamentary diplomacy. In particular, the 150th Assembly of the Inter-Parliamentary Union held in Tashkent, which resulted in the adoption of the Tashkent Declaration on Parliamentary Action in the Interests of Social Development and Social Justice, was highly appreciated. The preparation of the resolution was preceded by large-scale diplomatic work, which included five official and more than 50 informal consultations with the participation of representatives of over 60 UN member states. The document was co-sponsored by 61 states from all regions of the world, including Austria, Belgium, Germany, Spain, Brazil, Vietnam, Malaysia, Singapore, Morocco, Tanzania, Uganda, the Maldives and Papua New Guinea. The conference participants also discussed modern approaches to legislative support for social policy, the development of parliamentary diplomacy, the interaction of legislative bodies with the UN system and international organizations, as well as mechanisms for expanding international cooperation in the interests of improving the quality of life of the population. As a result of the conference, promising directions and practical recommendations were outlined for expanding the participation of parliaments in the implementation of the international social development agenda, strengthening parliamentary diplomacy and developing interaction between legislative bodies, the UN system and the expert community in the interests of achieving the Sustainable Development Goals.

    “School of Trust”: Inclusive Education as a Foundation for Equal Opportunity and High Professional Potential

    From August 11 to 14, 2026, a practical training seminar titled “School of Trust” was held in the city of Yangiyul for educators with visual impairments. This seminar was organized by the Public Fund for Support of Civil Society under the Oliy Majlis and the Central Board of the Society of the Blind of Uzbekistan. The event was aimed at developing the professional potential of educators with visual impairments, expanding their opportunities to use modern education and digital technologies, strengthening their professional independence, and implementing the principles of inclusive education in practice. The seminar was organized in accordance with the priority areas of state policy aimed at strengthening the principles of equal opportunity, human rights, non-discrimination, and social inclusion in the Republic of Uzbekistan, and in alignment with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, particularly “Quality Education” and “Reduced Inequalities”. The event was attended by Nargiza Norova, a psychologist at the University of World Economy and Diplomacy, and Kamola Davlatova, a 3rd-year student and coordinator of the “Inclusion” club. N. Norova delivered a substantive speech on the socio-psychological aspects of creating an inclusive environment. In her speech, she touched upon the role of students in developing inclusive education and an inclusive society, peer support, tolerance, mutual respect, and the social responsibility of young people. K. Davlatova emphasized the importance of youth activism in fostering an inclusive culture, their initiatives aimed at promoting equal opportunity, and social responsibility. She also highlighted the psychological aspects of reducing stereotypes and social barriers in society and of developing empathy, mutual respect, and an inclusive culture. During the event, special attention was paid to advancing inclusive education, enhancing the professional competencies of educators, making effective use of modern and digital technologies, strengthening professional independence, providing psychological support, and ensuring equal opportunity in the educational environment. As was emphasized, creating an inclusive environment is not limited to merely establishing physical and technical conditions. An important component of inclusion is also ensuring that a person feels valued, heard, supported, and a fully-fledged member of society. During the seminar's discussions, it was noted that an approach to inclusion based on the principles of human rights, equal opportunity, social justice, and sustainable development is a vital condition for the progress of modern society. Developing inclusive education in harmony with the UN Sustainable Development Goals serves to build human capital, strengthen social equality, improve the quality of education, and create decent opportunities for all members of society. In this sense, practical training initiatives like the "School of Trust" are becoming an important platform for developing the professional potential of educators with visual impairments, strengthening their professional independence, expanding their opportunities to use modern technologies, and shaping an inclusive society. Following the seminar, active participants, including representatives from the University of World Economy and Diplomacy, were also awarded certificates. This initiative was recognized as a practical step toward expanding equal opportunity in education, realizing human potential, developing an inclusive culture based on mutual respect and social responsibility, and building a sustainable society.
