Das Navrouz-Festival in Usbekistan
Festivals are one of the oldest forms of human expression. They convey the deep experiences of our ancestors as well as their universal aspirations. The Navrouz festival, widely celebrated in Uzbekistan on March 21, the day of the spring equinox, embodies values of sharing and solidarity.
This celebration, preserved since pre-Islamic times, is the perfect opportunity to discover the traditions of the peoples of Central Asia.
