From the diary of the rehabilitation camp: Day Three

Today the Deputy Secretary of the Kyrgyz Security Council, Nadyrbekov Zamir, came to the Aurora Sanatorium and spent about three hours interacting with women leaders from the border villages of Batken region, and answering many of their questions.

Participants were divided into four groups, and trainers led design thinking sessions. Ecologist, Mirlan Dyldaev, took part in the Climate Age game and conducted consultations under the slogan 'Clean Nature - Legacy to Generations'.  In addition, the women took part in art therapy, psychotherapy, and poetry therapy activities.

The rehabilitation camp is part of a project to create a gender-sensitive action plan for climate change adaptation, emergency management and food security.

The project is funded by the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation and implemented by UN Women, the BDA program, the Aga Khan Foundation, and the Roza Otunbaeva Initiative International Public Foundation.
