Create4, the Festival of Creative Industries in Bishkek, is a dynamic platform celebrating innovation, cultural expression, and sustainable entrepreneurship in Central Asia. Held annually, the festival brings together local and international artists, designers, tech innovators, and changemakers to explore how creativity can solve real-world challenges. Through interactive workshops, exhibitions, talks, and performances, Create4 fosters cross-sector collaboration and empowers youth, women, and underrepresented voices in the creative economy. The event promotes eco-conscious practices, digital innovation, and cultural heritage, positioning Bishkek as a growing hub for creative industries. Create4 inspires bold ideas and builds a resilient, inclusive creative community across the region.
We prepared a special event that included a lecture and a workshop, developed taking into account the interests and needs of the participants. The lecture was devoted to key issues of sustainable development and the role of creative industries in social change. We presented real cases, shared the experience of Dobrosphera, and opened the space for questions and discussions.
The workshop became a practical continuation of the lecture - the participants were able to apply knowledge in practice, create their own creative projects, and work in teams. This combination of theory and practice allowed for a deeper dive into the topic and inspired the participants to further action in their communities.
