In the framework of the IV Tashkent International Investment Forum, Gayane Umerova, Chairperson of the Uzbekistan Art and Culture Development Foundation, and Dr. Khaled Azzam, Director of The King’s Foundation School of Traditional Arts, have signed a Memorandum of Understanding and Cooperation.
The agreement marks the first step toward establishing a School of Traditional Arts and Crafts in Tashkent, dedicated to celebrating, preserving, and revitalising Uzbekistan’s rich cultural heritage.
A specialised academic programme will welcome its first cohort of students this autumn, offering them the opportunity to study, practice, and develop Uzbekistan’s traditional arts as a vibrant and living tradition.
