During the meeting, special attention was given to the concerns of unorganized youth, including those on probation and those assigned to the supervision of internal affairs bodies. The participants discussed the challenges facing young people seeking to make a positive contribution to society, learn from past mistakes, and establish a positive future. The proposals, opinions, and initiatives of the participants were carefully considered.
The event, held in the format of an open and inclusive dialogue, brought together around 400 young people, who were given the opportunity to directly address their questions and appeals to the leadership of ministries and departments. As a result, 38 applications related to starting a business, learning foreign languages, mastering information technology, and obtaining employment were resolved on the spot. An additional 26 appeals were taken under control, with specific instructions issued to the responsible officials and follow-up ensured.
The discussion focused on the importance of identifying young talent, providing employment opportunities, and supporting youth in building their future through participation in sports, education, crafts, and small business activities. Specifically targeted tasks were established to enhance work in regions, mahallas, and educational institutions where youth-related offenses are prevalent.
In particular, proposals were considered to expand the involvement of unorganized youth in the Temurbek School and the Academic Lyceum of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, as well as to enhance responsibility for their upbringing in the spirit of patriotism and civic engagement.
Additionally, the meeting discussed the establishment of an effective system for preventing minors, pupils, and students from becoming involved in criminal activities.
