Visitors tried tying marine knots blindly, conducted sensory research of the yurt and traditional household items, and engaged in sign language singing and handicrafts. The plasticineography "Nomad of the Future" and straw paintings "Road of Hospitality" were very popular.
Special interest was sparked by master classes related to the perception of the world through one's own sensations and imagination. Participants were invited to imagine their dream through tastes, colors, and smells, and then, with their eyes closed, use plasticine to create what they had imagined. Another unusual format was the "Walk in the Dark," which allowed for a new way of interacting with the surrounding space.
At the same time, an authentic atmosphere was preserved inside the yurt. Electricity was not used – the space was lit by natural light. Due to weather conditions, the tunduk sometimes had to be closed, but the project team successfully used this factor to conduct additional inclusive activities, for example, organizing a creative lunch in complete darkness – without the ability to see plates, glasses, and spoons.
"The participation of 'Sails of the Spirit' in the World Nomad Games in the Kyrchyn jailoo showed that inclusion can be part of a major international event and cultural dialogue. Our yurt became a platform where guests could not only learn more about the traditions of the Kyrgyz people, but also use new formats of interaction – through movement, creativity, sensory experience, and joint participation. It was important for us to become part of this major event and create an accessible and open space for everyone," noted Dmitry Konstantinov, General Director of the Rosatom State Corporation Representative Office in spatial and international cooperation.
