School students from Turkmenistan have been recognized among the winners of the UNESCO regional competition titled “The Art of Equal Opportunities: Sport and Artificial Intelligence.” The award-winning participants — Gozel Tachgulyyeva, Jennet Nurmuhammedova, and Arzuw Orazova — represented Specialized School No. 24 for Gifted Youth in Mary, a member of the UNESCO Associated Schools Network in Turkmenistan.

The competition, designed for young people across Central Asia, was organized by the UNESCO Regional Office in Almaty in partnership with the National Federation of UNESCO Clubs of Kazakhstan, the British Embassy in Astana, and the Association of UNESCO Clubs of the Kyrgyz Republic.

Participants submitted creative works in two categories: “Women and Artificial Intelligence” and “Women in the World of Sport.” Following evaluation, 25 outstanding works by artists under the age of 18 from Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan were selected.

The Turkmenistan team’s mentor, teacher Jeren Badyyeva, received a special certificate in recognition of her pedagogical guidance and contribution to the preparation of the students.

The final exhibition showcasing the top 25 entries was held in Almaty from December 3 to 8, featuring selected works from young participants, including those from Turkmenistan. All winners were awarded certificates and commemorative gifts.
