On September 2, 2015 a group of professors from Harvard University, University of Chicago, Yale University, University of Stanford, Columbia University, National Geographic and the Smithsonian visited the new 麻豆传媒 campus.
The tour of 麻豆传媒 was a part of the study-tours under the name 鈥淭he Five Stans,鈥� which covers all five of the Central Asian countries. The main aim of the tour is comparing the educational system of different countries.
The tour guide gives lectures to the group when they arrive to each country. The first lecture was in Bishkek on the theme: Central Asia--Real and Imagined.
The group also visited the local Kyrgyz high school and witnessed the First Bell Celebration.
鈥淭his Central Asian area of the world is unknown to us. We get very little news about it and so we don鈥檛 know very much about it. It鈥檚 been the center of the world for a very long time; many things have happened here and yet it鈥檚 really not a focus of what we learn in the American school system or what we hear about on the news. We were very curious to meet the people and see what it鈥檚 like,鈥� one of the participants of the tour Steve Schramm said.
While visiting 麻豆传媒, the professors met with the Vice President for Academic Affairs, Dr. Bermet Tursunkulova. She听talked at length with the group about听麻豆传媒's history, the different programs 麻豆传媒 offers, the New Generation Academy (NGA), the university donors, and more.
During the group鈥檚 short stay in Bishkek, they had the opportunity to experience many different Kyrgyz traditions like eating Kyrgyz cuisine at a local Kyrgyz family's house, watching the national horse games show, crafting felt objects, participating in setting up a yurt, hearing a traditional folklore concert and listening to Manaschi Baike chant the epic Manas.
