Since February 29, 2024, volunteer students of Karaganda Industrial University have officially started a new volunteer activity within the framework of the implementation of the Republican project "Menin Bauyrym".
The main goal of the project is to assist in the support and protection of children's rights in order to ensure that students find themselves in a favorable educational environment.
Recall that in November 2023, the Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Science and Higher Education initiated the volunteer project "Menin bauyrym" with the aim of actively contributing to the creation of a favorable and developing educational environment for school students.
Within the framework of the volunteer project, 60 volunteer students of Karaganda Industrial University in a pilot mode in the city of Temirtau from February 29 to March 1 this year were trained online and offline on the topics: "Planning project activities", "Taking into account the age and individual characteristics of schoolchildren in the work of a volunteer", "Development of child supervision skills in student volunteers", "Social projects and practices. Modern forms and methods of developing social and emotional skills of schoolchildren", "Development of communication skills and formation of useful habits", "Use of IT skills in the implementation of project activities of schoolchildren", "Development of financial literacy of schoolchildren", "Ways to implement environmental projects with schoolchildren" and "Development of environmental skills in project activities of schoolchildren".
The training was organized by the NAO "National Scientific and Practical Institute of Child Welfare "Orken", which provided all methodological material and professional speakers - trainers for conducting training seminars as part of the training of students on a free basis.
Following the results of the two-day training, volunteer students were given instructions and manuals for working with children and adolescents in schools. Their further work will include important areas of patriotic and environmental education, increasing responsibility, strengthening intra-school relationships, developing emotional intelligence, legal, reading, financial and IT literacy. Now our students will become senior companions and mentors for teenagers.
Starting from the middle of March, our volunteers will begin their active volunteer activities in 35 schools in Temirtau and Aktau village. The implementation of volunteer projects will be carried out within the framework of school events.
Within the framework of the project, it is planned to actively use diverse and effective forms of work, such as organizing round tables, conducting trainings, developing communication skills, including acquaintance, healthy communication and establishing common interests. There will also be master classes, flash mobs, challenges, sports tournaments, charity events and extracurricular activities in the TEDX format.
