Today, the creative economy sector in Central Asia is developing rapidly. UNESCO Almaty Cluster Office has supported the Cultural and Creative Industries sector over the past four years with the support of the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism of the Republic of Korea through projects such as “Strengthening Digital Literacy Skills and Competencies and Promoting Gender Equality in Cultural and Creative Sectors in Central Asia” and “Strengthening Film Industries in Central Asia”.
Taking into account the experience and recommendations gained from these projects, UNESCO Almaty is pleased to offer you a Mapping of Educational Platforms that support creative entrepreneurs and creative industries experts in Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan. This document may be useful for all professionals in the Cultural and Creative Industries (CCI) sector and may help to promote co-operation between the region’s creative communities.
The mapping was conducted by Anastasiya Goncharova, an independent researcher in the field of Cultural and Creative Industries. This research includes an overview of online and offline venues, informal learning platforms, creative and business hubs offering training and professional development for aspiring and experienced CCI professionals working in Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan.
