On March 21, a unique cultural and educational event called Epos will take place in Bishkek, which will combine the traditions of the Kyrgyz people with modern formats, including lectures, interactive elements, and even video games. The meeting will start at 5:00 PM on the third floor of Asia Mall and will be open to everyone interested.

The project is organized by the FMP "Kurultai" team, consisting of 11 students who aim to present the culture and history of Kyrgyzstan in the language of a new generation.

The evening program includes presentations from three speakers who will share knowledge about the Kyrgyz language, traditions, historical facts, and epic heritage. The format of the event will be interactive: after each presentation, participants will be offered blitz quizzes, mini-trivia, discussions, and prize draws. The organizers emphasize the importance of engaging the audience in the process.

The central highlight will be the presentation of the educational game Epos, which offers to study the history of Kyrgyzstan not through textbooks, but through an interactive journey.

Players will be able to navigate the map of the country, visiting various historical eras and events. Each location will represent a separate storyline with tasks and facts about the culture, traditions, and history of the people.

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

According to the organizers, the main goal of the project is to "repackage" the national heritage into a modern digital format and make it accessible and interesting for the youth.

The organizers are confident that this approach will allow a new perspective on the culture of Kyrgyzstan — without boring lectures, but with deep content.
