Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan Participants Complete Saemaul Training Program

The Saemaul Undong Central Council concluded its training program for participants from Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan on June 26. The initiative, designed to foster the global Saemaul Undong movement, brought together 39 trainees from both Central Asian nations.

Over nine days, from June 17, the trainees engaged in intensive education focused on Saemaul Undong's promotion strategies and action plan development. They also shared national success stories and collaboratively sought methods to advance the movement according to their countries' specific conditions. This program aimed to enhance their capabilities as Saemaul leaders.

During the completion ceremony, Sorbon Nigmatullozoda, a civil servant from Tajikistan's regional development committee and a representative of the trainees, shared his reflections. "Through this training, I realized that true change does not start from the top, but from the small actions of one person and the will to create a better community," he stated.
