Uzbekistan Strengthens Islamic Heritage Education with a New Children’s space

Uzbekistan has placed Islamic heritage at the heart of learning with the opening of a new children’s educational hub inside the Center of Islamic Civilization in Tashkent.

Created to connect young learners with the depth of Islamic culture and scientific legacy, the children’s hall offers an immersive and interactive experience. Through multilingual exhibits in Uzbek, Russian, and English, children can explore the history, achievements, and contributions of great Islamic scholars from Central Asia. Digital installations, artificial intelligence, and animation bring these historical figures to life allowing them to “speak,” teach, and inspire curiosity about the role of Islam in shaping global science and creativity.

At the core of the complex is the International School of Calligraphy, where experts revive classical Qur’anic and ornamental scripts while also introducing modern artistic styles. The school reflects Uzbekistan’s commitment to preserving traditional Islamic art and making it accessible to new generations.

Another major pillar of the Center is its Library, which spans two floors and holds over 35,000 printed publications and approximately 2,500 manuscripts. This vast collection highlights the intellectual richness of Islamic civilization and provides a valuable resource for scholars, students, and visitors.

With this new educational hub, Uzbekistan places Islamic history, culture, and knowledge at the center ensuring that children grow up connected to the spiritual and scientific heritage that has shaped the region for centuries.
