A day where environmental education and sports are combined in Miraki

**A day of combining environmental knowledge and sports in Miraki**

The next day was also full of meaningful events for the participants of the V International Ecological Congress “Youth - Creators of the Future” in the beautiful Miraki resort of the Kashkadarya region. On August 13, the fourth day of the congress, young people tested their strength and agility on sports fields, and demonstrated their knowledge and talents in intellectual and creative competitions.

One of the main events of the day was the “Youth Spartakiad” mass sports games. Participants from different countries and regions of Uzbekistan competed in several disciplines on sports fields. The competitions that began in the morning continued in the afternoon.

The popularization of sports within the framework of the congress is of particular importance. Because, along with the formation of an ecological culture, attracting young people to an active and healthy lifestyle is also one of the important tasks facing modern society.

Intellectual competitions were also held on this day. Participants tested their knowledge in the intellectual game “Kahoot”, while young people selected from different countries and regions of Uzbekistan presented their ideas in the “TEDxKurultoy” competition.

These competitions allowed the congress participants to demonstrate not only their knowledge of environmental topics, but also their ability to think independently, justify their ideas and convey them to the public. According to the program, one representative from each participating country and region participated in the “TEDxKurultoy” competition.

Another important event of the day was the “Ecology Scholars” competition. In it, participants tested their knowledge of the environment, nature protection and environmental issues.

The unique feature of the competition is that the environmental topic goes beyond simple theoretical questions and is connected with the worldview of young people and their environmental responsibility in everyday life. According to the program, this competition is expected to include 600 participants.

The evening program provided an opportunity for young people to demonstrate their creative potential. In the “Cheerful and Clever” competition, the congress participants demonstrated their responsiveness, creativity, and stage culture through team performances.

The fact that this competition is being held in an international format makes it even more interesting. The competition of representatives of different countries and regions on one stage is not only an entertaining program, but also a unique platform for cultural dialogue.

Thus, August 13 was one of the most colorful days of the international ecological gathering in Miraki. On the one hand, competitions on sports grounds encouraged young people to be physically active, while on the other hand, intellectual and ecological competitions tested their knowledge and thinking. Creative competitions allowed participants to demonstrate their talents.

Such a combination of the congress program shows that its purpose is not limited to discussing environmental issues. The simultaneous development of young people's knowledge, physical activity, creative abilities and teamwork skills is one of the important conditions for comprehensive support for the future generation.
