From Legends to Gaming: A Cultural Evening Epos Will Take Place in Bishkek
The evening is organized by the FMP "Kurultai" team, consisting of 11 students who aim to share the culture and history of Kyrgyzstan in a language accessible to young people.
The program of the evening includes presentations by three speakers who will share knowledge about the Kyrgyz language, traditions, historical events, and epic heritage. The format of the event will be lively and dynamic: after each presentation, participants will have the opportunity to engage in blitz quizzes, mini-trivia, and discussions, as well as participate in a prize draw. The organizers aim to actively involve the audience in the process.
The central moment of the evening will be the presentation of the educational game Epos, which offers a new way to learn about the history of Kyrgyzstan — through an interactive journey rather than traditional textbooks.
Players will be able to navigate the map of the country, immersing themselves in various historical eras and events. Each location will contain a unique storyline, tasks, and information about the culture, traditions, and history of the region.

There will also be a demo zone at the event where participants can try out the game, interact with the developers, and leave their feedback.
As the team notes, the main goal of the project is to "repackage" the national heritage into a modern digital format so that it becomes accessible and interesting to the youth audience.
The organizers hope that this approach will allow a new perspective on the culture of Kyrgyzstan — without boring lectures, but with deep content and interactive engagement.
