On March 21, a unique cultural and educational event called Epos will take place in Bishkek, where the traditions of the Kyrgyz people will be combined with modern forms such as lectures, interactive elements, and video games. The meeting is scheduled to start at 17:00, it will be held on the third floor of the Asia Mall food court and will be open to everyone.

The event is organized by the FMP "Kurultai" team, consisting of 11 students who strive to convey the culture and history of Kyrgyzstan to the modern generation.

The evening program includes presentations by three speakers who will share knowledge about the Kyrgyz language, traditions, historical events, and epic heritage. The format will be interactive: after each presentation, participants can look forward to blitz quizzes, mini-trivia, discussions, and prize draws. The organizers emphasize the importance of actively engaging the audience.

The highlight will be the presentation of the educational game Epos, which offers a way to learn about the history of Kyrgyzstan not from textbooks, but through an exciting interactive journey.

In the game, players move across the map of the country, immersing themselves in various eras and events. Each location offers unique plots, tasks, and facts about culture, traditions, and history.

There will also be a demo zone at the event where participants can test the game, interact with the developers, and share their impressions.

As the team notes, the main goal of the project is to "repackage" the national heritage into a modern digital format to make it accessible and interesting for young people.

The organizers hope that this approach will allow a new perspective on the culture of Kyrgyzstan—without tedious lectures, but with rich content.
