🌟 Alumni Spotlight: Sharafiddin Nuritdinov | UBL’22 Alumnus
We are excited to share the story of Sharafiddin Nuritdinov, an inspiring alum who turned his global exchange experience into a creative and meaningful career path focused on cultural connection.
Sharafiddin took part in the fall cohort of UBL 2022 program in Austin, Texas, which became a key moment in his professional journey. While in the U.S., he explored entrepreneurship, leadership, and innovation, and returned home with a fresh perspective and a strong sense of purpose.
🤝 One of the most impactful parts of the program was connecting with a fellow participant who would later become his co-founder. Together, they launched Bukhari Creative Group, a company that blends art, heritage, and technology to promote cultural diplomacy. Since then, their immersive exhibitions have reached audiences in France, Saudi Arabia, and Indonesia, offering unique cross-cultural experiences to thousands of visitors.
Sharafiddin says UBL played a key role in shaping his journey, from building partnerships to putting into practice the strategic lessons he learned in Austin.

🌟 #AlumniImpact in Chirchik!
From June 5 to 28, Dilorom Hushvaktova, a 2014 Fulbright Teaching Excellence and Achievement (TEA) Program and 2023 Access Academic Exchange Program alumna, led a dynamic professional development project titled “Understanding American Perspectives through Popular Culture with English Language Teachers". Over the course of 12 interactive sessions held every Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, the initiative brought together 30 passionate English teachers from Chirchik and nearby schools.
📚 Inspired by her recent academic exchange in Kansas, Dilorom introduced teachers to new ways of incorporating authentic American cultural materials, such as virtual museum tours, U.S. literature, and digital media, into their classrooms.
🎨 Through engaging activities and open discussions, teachers explored how American values are reflected in everyday culture, from social media to art and beyond. The sessions went beyond textbook holidays and vocabulary, focusing on intercultural competence and strategies to bring real-world context into English lessons.
💡 By the end of the program, participants walked away with fresh ideas, practical tools, and renewed motivation to inspire their students with more meaningful, culturally rich learning experiences.
📌 This initiative is part of the USG Alumni Program, funded by the U.S. Embassy Tashkent and administered by American Councils Uzbekistan.
