On 12–13 November 2024, ADAM (“Human” in Kyrgyz), an ecological performance, took the stage at the UN Climate Change Conference (COP29) in Baku, Azerbaijan. Supported by the OSCE, this performance aimed to promote environmental protection through the transformative power of art.
The event attracted over 1,000 attendees, including foreign delegations, representatives of international organizations, as well as residents and visitors of Baku at the Azerbaijan State Academic Musical Theatre.
ADAM addresses global challenges such as climate change, biodiversity loss, and pollution. The performance invited the spectators to reflect on how overconsumption harms the environment and what actions are necessary to save both the planet and humankind.
"For Kyrgyzstan, this was a new approach to tackling climate change and promoting environmental protection, but I firmly believe that this performance will leave a lasting impression on the audience and foster respect and care for the planet," shared Meder Mashiev, Minister of Natural Resources, Ecology, and Technical Supervision of the Kyrgyz Republic.
Since 2022, this initiative has engaged over 5,000 participants across Kyrgyzstan, raising awareness about critical environmental issues.
ADAM is implemented by the Students of Kyrgyzstan for Green Economy NGO, the initiative group ARTIS, and A. Maldybaev Kyrgyz Opera and Ballet Theatre with the support of the OSCE Programme Office in Bishkek.
The OSCE-led Mobile Training Team (MTT), a group of 24 border security and counter-terrorism experts from across the OSCE region, met for the second Annual Review Meeting from 11 to 13 November in Tirana, Albania. This was followed by a training workshop for the Albanian Border and Migration Police and Security Training Academy on 14 and 15 November.
Organized by the OSCE Transnational Threats Department, 16 MTT members from 14 OSCE participating States and Mediterranean Partners for Co-operation, as well as experts from Frontex, Interpol and UNOCT participated at the Annual Review Meeting which provided a platform to assess and evaluate the capacity building training courses delivered throughout 2024, as well as to hold strategic discussions and planning for 2025.
Following the Annual Review Meeting, a two-day training-of-trainers and mentoring course was organized for the Albanian Border and Migration Police and faculty members of the Albanian Security Academy in close co-operation with the OSCE Presence in Albania.
The course focused on Behavioural Analysis and Interviewing Techniques, and was a follow up of the MTT pilot course conducted in 2023 in Albania. Based on a request from the Albanian State Police, this training served to conclude the mentoring work aimed at integrating specific interviewing techniques taught by the OSCE-led MTT into the national training curriculum for border police. This initiative enhances local ownership of the OSCE-led MTT training content since the OSCE course will be included as part of the national curricula in the Security Academy and as such contributes to sustainable knowledge transfer within the national services. Moreover, the initiative ensures sustainability of the OSCE and donors’ efforts in further strengthening border security and management.
These activities are implemented as part of the extrabudgetary project “Training and Deployment of OSCE Mobile Training Team to Better Address Challenges in Identifying the Cross-Border Movement of Foreign Terrorist Fighters and Other Cross-Border Crimes in the OSCE Area–Phase II”, funded by the Federal Republic of Germany and the United States of America.
