On December 19-23, 2021, the International Forum of Young Intellectuals dedicated to the 30th anniversary of the Commonwealth of Independent States will be held in Bishkek with the support of the Interstate Fund for Humanitarian Cooperation of the CIS Member States (IFHC).

In the modern world, in the context of increasing globalization processes, the most susceptible part of society to change is young people. It is this part of society that has a high level of mobility, intellectual activity, health, readiness to perceive new things, and the desire to contribute to the future of the country. By quickly perceiving changes in the educational and information environment, young people are able to respond mobilely and adequately to public challenges. Due to these same qualities, young people have another competence that is relevant for a modern multicultural society – tolerance. Therefore, at the present stage, youth is the most important resource for the development of society. And youth policy aimed at creating international communication youth platforms can be considered as a key tool that forms this resource. One of these platforms was the International Forum of Young Intellectuals, becoming the successor and successor of the Issyk-Kul Forum Ch. Aitmatova.
