„We are Berlin“ at FEZ Berlin

The San’at Forum team is pleased to have represented Uzbekistan at the “We are Berlin” family event, which took place at FEZ Berlin. The event generated a great deal of interest among Berliners and visitors to the city. We had the opportunity to showcase Uzbekistan’s rich culture, art, and traditions.

The program items included the following:

• Children’s Art Exhibition “The World Through Children’s Eyes.” As a follow-up to the exhibition held for International Children’s Day, the creative works of children from Uzbekistan and Berlin were presented to an even wider audience.
• Creative Workshop: “The Colorful Treasures of Uzbekistan.” As part of a program developed by the founder of the San’at Forum, the children learned about the shapes and meanings of traditional Uzbek ornaments and created their own designs.
• Flower Wreath Workshop. One of our organization’s most popular highlights—participants worked alongside a master artisan to create their own flower wreaths, which they took home as souvenirs.
• Reading Corner. A cozy reading corner was set up for visitors. In addition, a presentation of the bilingual German-Uzbek book by Uzbek author Sitora Usmonova took place there, along with a reading by the author.
• Children’s cooking class on how to make somsa. We went through the entire process together with the children—from kneading the dough to baking and tasting the results together.
• As part of a dance program we organized, Uzbek children living in Berlin performed traditional Uzbek dances.
