Most of the participants noted that they are quite familiar with the problems of their community and understand what research is.“I think the problem is that young people are left to their own devices, as there are no places for leisure and youth development in the village. The older generation is not interested in providing support and guidance for career guidance. ""I also believe that due to a lack of interest, most of them join the ranks of racketeers and start drinking and smoking."“Young people have no interest in learning.”- "I understand a little how to conduct research, as I participated in another project and there we were taught to identify problems and analyze."- "I don't know what research is, but I really want to learn and try in practice."- "Research is getting answers to questions of interest.""Research can help identify the problem."- "Young people can change the situation for the better, only you need to find out who to contact."“I have a hard time believing that our elders will hear us and take our problems into account. We have such an upbringing, listen to elders and not contradict them. "“I can easily express my opinion and feel like a leader among the contenders. I manage to reach out to others. "What did the participants say when expressing their opinion about the event during the final exercise "Talking microphone".	“Today I enjoyed working with the team, realizing that we will now be researchers.”"I learned that there are new methods for solving problems."“Before, I didn’t think about the fact that through art you can also convey your problems. I think we will be able to solve our problems. "Event difficulties and suggested solutions	- Difficulties with the Internet connection. Two participants left at the beginning of the baseline assessment, so the questions were asked over the phone.What, in your opinion, was the most significant result of the event at this school? 	- the meeting allowed the participants to get to know each other.- the participants actively participated, discussed, spoke openly about the problems, it was noticeable that they had previously worked in projects. - after receiving information about the fund and the project, it became easier for the participants to understand the meaning of the project and understand the importance of gaining the knowledge that this project provides for solving the problems that the children raised in their questionnaires.Appendix # 1.

Everyone knows that many Uzbeks live in the villages of Suzak and Bek-Abad, since our village is located after these villages, we, residents, are often perceived as Uzbeks. To be honest, I am ashamed to talk about it, because there is a division among the population. "“The score given means to me that I know quite well the problems of our community. For example, one of the most important problems for me is the lack of night illumination of streets and roads to school. And also the problem of garbage disposal in the wrong places. The population has a low level of culture, and there are no trash bins on the roads ”.- "I think that our problems can be solved by patriots and leaders, deputies, and not just people who sit in the offices of ayil okmotu."“I cannot openly express my opinion to my elders. My respect for my elders does not allow me to defend my vote. When they talk, I just keep quiet. "- "Art helps people understand each other's feelings and experiences."“I noticed that our girls give a low score for leadership and openness. I think this is due to the fact that from childhood we are taught to keep our mouths shut and not express dissatisfaction with the elders. "What did the participants say when expressing their opinion about the event during the final exercise "Talking microphone".	- “I am glad that I learned what tolerance is, research. This is a very good opportunity for us to solve the problems of our community. We also learned about what worries most of us. "- "We got a lot of new knowledge"- “I am glad that we will learn, within the framework of the project, to investigate problems, solve them and convey to our peers what is good and what is bad.”- “I am sure that with the whole team we will be able to change the situation for the better.”Event difficulties and suggested solutions	- Difficulty in mobilizing boys. Most of the boys work part-time in their free time at construction sites, in the fields, in car washes. There are participants who still want to participate further, they ask to send information via whatsapp.- The low level of Internet connection among some participants, according to them, their operator is not the best quality. During the conversation, it was decided that they would change the SIM card.What, in your opinion, was the most significant result of the event at this school? 	- the presentation meeting made it possible to create a unified team of students from different grades, who in the future will become members of the club of young researchers in this school. - the baseline assessment helped the trainers find out how familiar the participants are with the methods / area of ​​expertise on the TOT topics. - after receiving information about the fund and the project, it became easier for the participants to understand the meaning of the project and understand the importance of gaining the knowledge that this project provides for solving the problems that the children raised in their questionnaires.Appendix # 1.

I'm afraid that our elders will not take us seriously and then discuss us. "What did the participants say when expressing their opinion about the event during the final exercise "Talking microphone".	"The information about the project was clear and simple, I am happy to take part in solving the problems of my community." "I liked the project, this is my first experience, I always wanted to get closer to art, I will get a lot of interesting knowledge and skills."Event difficulties and suggested solutions	- Difficulty with internet connection. Initially, 10 participants entered Zoom, but most of them often disconnected and in total there were only 6 people left.- Most of the children were shy and had difficulty opening up, one of the reasons is that they are all from different classes, and it is also noticeable that girls are shy about boys. What, in your opinion, was the most significant result of the event at this school? 	At the beginning of the meeting, the participants were ashamed of each other and did not want to include a video, but after the game with names it became easier for them to speak and express their opinions.The children spoke openly about the problems of the community.Appendix # 1.

"I think that I know quite well the problems of my community, for example, one of the important problems I consider the excessive use of gadgets and the dependence of adolescents on video games."- “Young people have a lot of different problems with which it is difficult for them to cope, most adolescents experience self-doubt, they have low self-esteem”.“I think I know a lot about young people, but I don't think that's all. For example, there are families in which children are beaten, but children do not talk about it because they are afraid. Smoking, for example, many run away from home. "“I only see the problems of my friends and those around me, but I don’t see the problems of teenagers from other schools. We probably know the problems superficially. So I put 3. "“Everyone has their own problems, for example, the majority of young people cannot express their opinion to adults, they begin to withdraw, take drugs.”- "I am completely unfamiliar with what research is."- "I heard about research before, but did not participate"- "I think we don't know what this research is."- "I think research is needed to help others, to organize charity events."- “When researching, each person should openly express their opinion about the problem. But I don't know what these rules and ethics are. "- “I think that one of the important rules is respect for the opinions of others.”“For example, I was often late home after school, I analyzed the whole situation and began to make excuses.” “I think I can analyze my problems well and find solutions.”- “I think that I can analyze problems, but I cannot help a person, give advice. I'm not sure if my advice can help a person. "“I don’t know everyone who is responsible for solving problems, but I think it could be parents, teachers, social educators, relatives, psychologists.”- “I can openly tell my parents about my problems, as this makes it easier for me, but if I speak to the mayor, for example, I can get confused.” “I feel anxious and embarrassed when I speak to an audience. But if everyone smiles and accepts me, then it becomes easier for me. "What did the participants say when expressing their opinion about the event during the final exercise "Talking microphone".	- “I think we can achieve the goals of this project, I am glad to participate in a project where art is applied.”- “The questions were very interesting, there were questions that I hadn't thought about at all. They made me think about myself. "- "I really liked the fact that we can learn to explore, work in groups."- "I am glad that I can try to investigate the problem and build a dialogue with people who will help solve the problems of young people."Event difficulties and suggested solutions	- It was difficult to get the boys interested in participating in the project.- It was difficult to mobilize all the participants who wanted to participate. In a personal conversation, most said that they would go into the zoom, but then for some reason they did not go. Then, during a personal conversation on the phone, some said that they did not have time to free themselves, two refused to participate because their parents did not allow it.What, in your opinion, was the most significant result of the event at this school? 	- the presentation meeting made it possible to create a unified team of students from different grades, who in the future will become members of the club of young researchers in this school. - there was a girl with a speech impediment among the participants, but she was very active in sharing her opinion, which in turn motivated the rest of the participants to become more active and open. - the baseline assessment helped the trainers find out how familiar the participants are with the methods / area of ​​expertise on the TOT topics. - after receiving information about the fund and the project, it became easier for the participants to understand the meaning of the project and understand the importance of gaining the knowledge that this project provides for solving the problems that the children raised in their questionnaires.Appendix # 1.
