American Spaces

Bishkek American Space

American Spaces are information resource centers that provide comprehensive and up-to-date information about the United States, and thus promote mutual understanding between the American and Kyrgyz people. American Spaces is a partnership between the U.S. Embassy Bishkek and local institutions.

American Spaces hold a variety of programs, including talking clubs, movie screenings, and workshops and master classes on topics like career development, leadership, and English language learning. U.S. Fulbright participants, alumni of U.S. government-funded programs, English Language Fellows, and Peace Corps Volunteers regularly implement programming at American Spaces.

Currently there are 8 American Spaces in the Kyrgyz Republic in Bishkek, Jalal-Abad, Batken, Osh, Talas, Kant, Karakol, and Naryn.  American Spaces are open to anyone who is interested in learning more about the United States.
