The following case is set in Uzbekistan where evidently diverse social groups live in harmony despite their differences. Among the schools in the country, the Sirdarya Regional Foreign Languages Boarding School in Gulistan City is arguably an exceptionally unique school due to the close engagement of parents with the boarding school’s EIU-themed activities. Activities range from extra-curricular activities including artwork and sports, to classroom-based activities such as role plays and international awareness events. Each activity is carefully designed to arouse the interest of the students in EIU-related themes such as tolerance, understanding and sustainable development. In the process, the students become highly motivated to take leading roles as responsible global citizens in creating a more peaceful world.
