Our representatives are familiarizing themselves with the university's workshops and craft departments, studying the processes of students' engagement in such applied arts as woodworking, making musical instruments and kitchen utensils, creating jewelry, and weaving tapestries.

They also exchanged views on the traditions of Uzbek fine arts, the characteristics of the national art school, and modern creative approaches. Master classes in graphics and sculpture allowed students to study technical and methodological capabilities in a practical process.

Such international internship and advanced training programs are of great importance in strengthening cultural and academic cooperation between higher education institutions, exchanging experience in the field of art education, and expanding the scope of students' creative thinking.
