Cultural Education Program Expansion in Schools

The Cultural Education Program "Schools Ambassadors of Culture – Children Ambassadors of Culture" will be expanded in the new school year, according to an announcement by the Deputy Ministry of Culture. The expansion comes after the successful pilot implementation and positive evaluation results of the program.

During the 2024–2025 school year, the program was implemented in 15 schools in collaboration with the Ministry of Education, Sports and Youth. In addition, 55 schools collaborated with 129 creators from various fields of culture, who are included in the list of "Ambassadors of Culture".

The aim of the program is to cultivate students' cultural awareness and expression. Through contact with culture, children had the opportunity to shape their identity, develop their emotional intelligence and express themselves creatively.

The Deputy Minister of Culture noted that the program is a "living proof that cultural education can be a vehicle for empowerment, participation and transformation of educational reality".
