International Talent Academy (ITA), a private educational institution in Tashkent, is organizing targeted seminars for parents and educators focused on child safety, personal development, and boundary protection. The initiative aims to address sensitive upbringing topics and foster healthier communication channels between adults and children.
Key Takeaways: The sessions are scheduled for November 28 and 29, 2026, at the ITA school campus in Tashkent. The parental seminar is priced at 450,000 Uzbek soms (approx. 400,000 UZS) and provides expert-led psychological guidance and practical frameworks.
Traditionally, discussions surrounding bodily autonomy, growth, and personal safety were considered taboo within many households, leaving contemporary parents ill-equipped to address these issues calmly and age-appropriately. As authorities in Uzbekistan implement stricter legal measures against violence and enhance child protection frameworks, educational institutions are stepping up to bridge the communication gap through community outreach.
ITA School Director Laziza Юсупова (Yusupova) emphasized that while adults cannot supervise children every single minute, they can empower them to recognize threats, defend their personal boundaries, and seek help without hesitation. Establishing an open dialogue between generations is framed as a fundamental pillar of modern child safety culture.
The keynote speaker for the events is Irina Selivanova, a psychologist from Russia with nine years of specialized experience in child and adolescent body safety education. She will instruct participants on how to discuss sensitive topics free of fear or social stigma while maintaining parental trust.
The program is divided into two distinct dates: November 28 features a dedicated workshop for school educators and psychologists, while November 29 is reserved for parents. Interested participants are required to complete advance registration via the provided contact channels managed by the school administration.
