The World Nomad Games, held in Kyrgyzstan, decided to make permanent a village dedicated to traditional arts and crafts. The village, which operated temporarily during the games, will now be a permanent space dedicated to the preservation of nomadic culture in the region.
The initiative aims to bring the past and present closer together, allowing visitors and locals to continue to experience and learn traditional nomadic techniques. The village includes workshops and demonstrations of crafts typical of the Central Asian region.
The World Nomad Games are a sporting and cultural event that celebrates the traditions of nomadic peoples from around the world. Kyrgyzstan, a mountainous country in Central Asia, has been the main venue for these games since their creation.
With the permanent village, Kyrgyzstan hopes to keep its cultural heritage alive and promote cultural tourism in the region. The decision reflects an effort to preserve traditional knowledge in the face of increasing modernization.
