The Aigine CRC team shared its experience of engaging schoolchildren from remote regions in studying and safeguarding intangible cultural heritage. As part of the \u201cUluu Toolor\u201d project, teenagers collected stories from elders about rituals, petroglyphs, medicinal plants, and the events of 1916. The webinar opened with the sacred ritual \u201cErkek Sham\u201d performed by Chynar Seydakhmatova. The ritual was dedicated to the forgotten and unburied souls of those who died during tragic events across different periods.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone  wp-image-16363\" src=\"https:\/\/aigine.kg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/\u0411\u0435\u0437-\u043d\u0430\u0437\u0432\u0430\u043d\u0438\u044f.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"23\" height=\"22\" srcset=\"http:\/\/aigine.kg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/\u0411\u0435\u0437-\u043d\u0430\u0437\u0432\u0430\u043d\u0438\u044f.jpg 160w, http:\/\/aigine.kg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/\u0411\u0435\u0437-\u043d\u0430\u0437\u0432\u0430\u043d\u0438\u044f-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 23px) 100vw, 23px\" \/><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"x14z9mp xat24cr x1lziwak x1vvkbs xtlvy1s x126k92a\">\n<div dir=\"auto\">Visiting the Zhaltyrak Tash Petroglyphs:<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">This week, Aigine CRC completed a three-day expedition to one of Kyrgyzstan\u2019s most striking yet little-studied rock art complexes \u2014 Zhaltyrak Tash, located in the Bakai-Ata district of the Talas region. The expedition was carried out within a project supported by the Pawanka Fund to create a unified database of Central Asian petroglyphs. A distinctive feature of this initiative is its focus on the intangible aspects of rock art and the inclusion of local interpretations. The team documented rare images, including a panther with a tail shaped like a traditional Kyrgyz ornament, hunting scenes, depictions of a centaur, satyr, female hunters, yurts, and sacred symbols.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Webinar on Aigine\u2019s Experience with Youth Involvement in Heritage Safeguarding: This week, the final session of the \u201cVoices of Local Communities\u201d webinar series, organized by the Pawanka Fund, took place.
