Ainagul AmatbekovaGUEST
Yeah, basically, as you mentioned at the beginning and which was the main idea.

Ainagul AmatbekovaGUEST
behind launching this research project was the perception of youth activism in Kyrgyzstan.

Ainagul AmatbekovaGUEST
A lot of people, even in the civic space, were claiming, were assuming that young people are super disengaged these days super passive.

Ainagul AmatbekovaGUEST
And a lot of people were linking this to the laws that were introduced in Kyrgyzstan in the last few years that limit the civic space in Kyrgyzstan in general.

Ainagul AmatbekovaGUEST
And while we were just reflecting as a team, we were just thinking you know, monitoring, observing different youth movements around the world, especially like in the Cessna region, for example.

Ainagul AmatbekovaGUEST
And the question, and also we are ourselves are young people that are still engaged with the civic life, right? And I am a civic activist myself.
