The main objective of the exhibition is to present to the general public the history of Germans in Kyrgyzstan and their contribution to the economy and culture of the country, as well as to highlight the future of integration and cooperation between Kyrgyzstan and Germany. The exposition will present two major topics: 1. Historical processes in the context of which Kyrgyzstan lived in the second half of 19th – 20th centuries. 2. The Germans, whose contributions to Kyrgyzstan are invaluable. Partners in the preparation and organization of the exhibition are the "People's Council of Germans in Kyrgyzstan", the German Embassy in the Kyrgyz Republic, the Goethe-Institut, Konrad Adenauer Foundation, the company "Interglass." In turn, the German Embassy in cooperation with the National Council of Germans in Kyrgyzstan have decided to plan a “Days of German Cinema” event to coincide with the exhibition. Thus, in the southern capital on 27 and 28 March in the cinema "Ak-Buura" were shown such famous works as "Good Bye, Lenin!", "The Miracle of Bern", "Last Days of Sophie Scholl", "The Lives of Others." Film screenings were shown in German with subtitles in Russian. For more information please contact us by phone - 0312 66 03 82 0312 66 03 68 and by e-mail - office@roza.kg
