The article analyzes the significance of the five initiatives in the activities of
creative youth. The importance of the five key initiatives being implemented in our country to
support youth and create new opportunities for them is extremely high. These initiatives focus on
education, professional development, sports, culture, and the involvement of women in various
fields. Additionally, the five initiatives have provided great opportunities to enhance the
intellectual and creative potential of youth and create new opportunities for them. Especially, the
implementation of initiatives in the field of culture and arts has led to the discovery of new
creative youth, playing a major role in the development of the sector.
Keywords:
five initiatives, creative youth, education, culture, youth activity, arts, creativity,
opportunities.
In our country, large-scale work is being carried out in the field of state policy concerning
the youth. In recent years, a special system has been established for the education and training of
young people who are capable of taking responsibility for the future of our country, supporting
them in all aspects, protecting their rights and legal interests, and raising initiative and
determined youth. The knowledge we provide to the younger generation is considered a
foundation for the future of our country. The stronger the foundation we build, the more resilient
it will be, remaining unshaken in any situation and leaving a lasting impression even as years
pass. In today's world, only youth who are independent, firm, and physically and morally strong
can withstand the dangerous global processes happening around us.
From the very first days of President Sh. Mirziyoyev’s leadership, issues related to
education, training, science, healthcare, culture and art, and the development of sports, as well as
ensuring that our youth acquire deep knowledge, master foreign languages and modern
information and communication technologies, have always been prioritized, and these have been
emphasized as ongoing and urgent tasks[1].
Modern conditions and opportunities are being created for their education and vocational
training. In developed, democratic countries, youth organizations focus not on holding
extravagant, grandiose events, but on working directly with young people, engaging in practical
communication with them, and addressing the life issues that concern them[2]. It is important to
note that, from this perspective, our country has set its own path in the state youth policy. The
issue of ensuring the meaningful use of free time for young people aged 14 to 30, who make up
30% of our population, remains a pressing concern for our government.

In this regard, under the leadership of President Sh. M. Mirziyoyev, during a video
conference held on March 19, 2019, it was emphasized that attention to our youth should be
further strengthened. Efforts were focused on engaging them more widely in culture, art,
physical education, and sports, developing skills in the use of information technology, promoting
reading among the youth, and increasing women’s employment. As a result, 5 important
initiatives were introduced[3]. Currently, the implementation of these 5 important initiatives is
being carried out in all regions of our republic. In particular, several hundred thousand copies of
literary works have been delivered to district and city libraries, and 80 types of sports equipment
and musical instruments have been provided to all educational institutions where students are
studying.
Additionally, cultural centers and general education schools in the districts and cities
have established over 1,500 various clubs based on the interests of young people.
Moreover, with the involvement of proactive, talented youth and local sponsors, art
amateur groups, youth theater studios, and “Youth Clubs” have been organized at cultural
centers. Our country has more than 12,000 sports facilities, and large-scale national and
international competitions are regularly organized with the aim of involving youth in physical
education and mass sports. Furthermore, new sports halls and artificial turf fields have been built
in remote and rural areas and made available for young people. In order to develop information
technologies and communications, Digital Technology Training Centers have been built in every
city and district center, and free courses in e-commerce and programming have been introduced.
In addition, “startup” projects are being implemented in the field of information technology to
develop innovative business skills. In regions with high population density and abundant labor
resources, garment and knitting factories have been established to provide employment for
unemployed women, creating permanent jobs for women.
It is encouraging to note that the responsible leaders have been assigned to ensure the
broad implementation of the 5 key initiatives at the local level, and positive results in the state
youth policy have been recorded by relevant organizations. On June 30, 2020, the Decree of the
President of the Republic of Uzbekistan on the establishment of the Youth Affairs Agency of the
Republic of Uzbekistan was adopted, and regional and local offices of the agency were set up in
all regions of our republic[4]. The newly established Agency is continuously analyzing the
activities being carried out within the framework of the 5 key initiatives. Looking at the analysis
of the measures implemented under the 5 key initiatives over the past period, in the first direction
of the initiative, 826 cultural centers have been established, and 4,522 clubs have been organized
to engage youth in culture and art. The number of musical instruments provided to educational
institutions is 1,762, and the number of clubs organized in general education schools has reached
36,503, with a total of 1.1 million (18%) young people involved in these activities[5].
Under the second initiative, over 100,000 sports clubs have been established in 51,651
sports facilities, involving 1.5 million young people in these clubs. Additionally, 308 Children
and Youth Sports Schools and specialized schools have attracted 360,000 young people to sports,
with sports equipment worth 25 billion som being delivered.

Moreover, in general education schools, 49,196 sports clubs have been organized in 10
different sports, providing 1.2 million students with opportunities to engage in sports. Seven
years ago, in the new Uzbekistan, rapid reforms began in the cultural and educational sectors,
based on a new worldview. In the fields of culture and art, the issues of creativity and the
freedom of creators were thoroughly reviewed. Our President, Shavkat Mirziyoyev, paid great
attention to the establishment of a fundamentally new state and educational society in Uzbekistan
and to creating a system of values and relations corresponding to it, based on the principle of
human dignity. Specifically, over the past 5 years, 4 laws of the Republic of Uzbekistan in the
field of culture and art, 35 decrees and decisions of the President of Uzbekistan, and 98
resolutions and orders of the Cabinet of Ministers were adopted. For the first time in the history
of independent Uzbekistan, on January 20, 2021, the law on “Cultural Activities and Cultural
Organizations” was adopted. Additionally, to elevate the status of sector employees, April 15
was designated as the Day of Culture and Art Workers. By the end of 2023, 11 new museums, 2
theaters, 28 children's music and art schools, and 5 universities were established. The volume of
state support for the culture and art sector has increased fivefold compared to 2017, and in 2023,
more than 712 billion som was allocated for these purposes, reflecting the wide-scale reforms
being implemented in the management of the culture and art sector[6].
Under the third initiative, 72 “Digital Technology Training Centers” have been
established in our republic. In general education schools, 14,940 computer classrooms have been
organized. In the field of information technology, 14,765 clubs have been created, involving
nearly 510,000 (8%) students. By the end of the year, 14,972 clubs are planned to be established,
and they will be equipped with 951 computer devices. Under the fourth initiative, there are
currently 201 information library centers across the republic, with a total of 16,319,587 books in
their collections. Of these, 8,468,593 are literary works. Currently, the number of members in
these centers is 1,196,233, and among them, over 565,000 young people are involved in book
reading competitions and events organized in these centers.
Over 150,000 books worth 400 million som have been delivered to regional information-
library centers, and more than 210,000 works of 20 different types of literature have been
distributed to the libraries of educational institutions. In addition, 165,800 literary works have
been delivered to the library collections of ministries, departments, organizations, and
educational institutions. Under the fifth initiative, there are 3,596,406 women aged 18 to 30 in
our republic.
Out of them, 12,186 young women participated in training courses aimed at strengthening
their professional skills. More than 31,000 women have been employed through vocational
training at entrepreneurship centers, 3,364 new job positions have been created, and 68 billion
som in loans have been allocated for 3,282 women’s small business projects[7]. By the end of
the year, 109 sewing and textile enterprises are planned to be established, and 30,451 women are
scheduled to receive vocational training. In order to ensure the implementation of these five
important initiatives at the local level, numerous decrees, decisions, and action plans have been
approved by our esteemed President. Specifically, to ensure the large-scale execution of these
five initiatives in the regions, on October 23, 2020, a report on “Organizing measures to spread
the essence and importance of the reforms being implemented in our country to the public” was
approved by the Presidential Administration of Uzbekistan. According to this decree, annual

promotional plans have been approved for every neighborhood across the country, under the
theme "New Uzbekistan – a new worldview." Currently, under this initiative, large-scale events
and sports competitions are being organized on various topics, including "Accountability," "New
Year, New Plans, New Horizons," "The Brave Spirit of Ancestors Will Guide You," "Women –
the Unmatched Miracle of Creation," "Let Every Day Be Navruz," "The Power of the Great
Nation is the Strength of the Time," "Youth – the Driver of the Sixth Renaissance," "Five
Initiatives – Five Opportunities," "Independence – a Great and Priceless Blessing," "Education is
Life – a Matter of Vital Importance," "There Is No Salvation Except Knowledge," and
"Intelligence and Knowledge are the Greatest Wealth, Good Education is the Greatest Heritage".
In conclusion, it can be said that the main foundation for ensuring the sustainable
development of any country is closely linked to the human factor, particularly its intellectual
capacity. Given that a large portion of the population consists of youth equipped with modern
knowledge and skills, the protection of their interests in social, economic, and other spheres, and
finding solutions to pressing issues from theoretical and practical perspectives, has become a key
priority in our country’s policies today. In particular, through the large projects and initiatives
being carried out under the five important initiatives, the engagement of youth has expanded,
bringing forth the talents and potentials of our youth.
In the speech given at the joint session of the Oliy Majlis (Parliament) following the
inauguration of the newly elected President of Uzbekistan, Shavkat Mirziyoyev, he emphasized
the continuation of democratic reforms in line with the “New Uzbekistan Development Strategy”.
He highlighted the priorities for the coming five years, focusing on raising healthy, well-
rounded youth, particularly girls, nurturing their abilities and talents, and fostering love and
loyalty to the homeland, while also promoting national and universal values[8]. Thus, the issues
related to youth will continue to be a priority in the development path of our country for the next
five years.
