Naryn is the largest and mountainous region of Kyrgyzstan. The population is about 300 thousand people. Due to the harsh climate in which most residents are engaged in animal husbandry, the younger generation is forced to go abroad in search of work because of unemployment. Recently, there has been an increasing interest of tourists in this region. This, in turn, contributes to the growth of the number of guest houses. However, not all owners of guest houses know how to use modern digital skills when selling their services on the Internet to develop their business. Therefore, digital literacy is of great importance for reducing unemployment, providing workplaces for young people, women and migrants in their country.
For this reason, the training of the digital personality project takes place in the Naryn region.On November 17-18, the EU-funded project “Promotion of equal opportunities and youth sustainability” training in the Naryn region.
