A fourth-year student of the Institute of International Relations of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Turkmenistan Kuvvat Mamedov recently became a participant in the traditional International Youth Forum on Creativity and Heritage along the Great Silk Road, which was held in China at the sites of the cities of Changsha and Nanjing. It was organised by UNESCO in cooperation with the National Commission of the People’s Republic of China for UNESCO, the World Federation of UNESCO Associations, Centres and Clubs and regional municipalities.

Vouchers for participation in the Forum were delegated to activists and volunteers from dozens of countries around the world, who had successfully passed two stages of a kind of intellectual competition held within its framework. The first one was held in the format of an essay compiled on the basis of written answers to questions asked by the organisers. The second step was the interview.
