Central Asian states faced a new world order alongside independence after the Soviet Union’s collapse. A vital characteristic of the new order was the transition from planned to a market economy. Undoubtedly this process affected society to a great extent. Equally, this process is getting faster and more penetrative due to the advanced technological age that we find ourselves in.
How does this process and transition affect Central Asian youth and how do young people perceive this, how is this process seen through their eyes?
The aim of this conference is to evaluate how Central Asian youth is coping with this transition, what are the opportunities available to them, the potential hurdles that they may face and the possible solutions that they have toward it.
We await views, analyses and opinions with regard to the following and other related fields:
• Educational opportunities
• Socio-economic factors
• Networking and the media
• Internet
• Cultural gains
• Sport and health
• Art
• Languages
• Religion
