“NATIONAL KURULTAI AND YOUTH: FROM INSTRUCTIONS TO ACTION”

On February 18, a dialogue platform was held at Karaganda Industrial University with the participation of the leadership of the Youth Resource Center of Temirtau, representatives of the Department of History of Kazakhstan and Social Disciplines, and university students.

The event served as an open discussion platform aimed at explaining the initiatives of the National Kurultai of Kazakhstan, discussing current issues of state youth policy, and involving students in the implementation of concrete projects at the regional level. The focus was on the directives announced during the sessions of the National Kurultai and the mechanisms for their practical implementation within educational and social settings.

University students actively participated in the discussion, raising issues related to employment for young specialists, support for startup initiatives, the development of scientific potential, and creating conditions for youth self-realization in the region. The role of the university as a center for developing human capital, fostering innovation, and supporting social initiatives was also highlighted.

Participants emphasized that the National Kurultai serves as an important public institution facilitating dialogue between the state and society, and that youth should not only be listeners but also active participants in transformations. The dialogue platform allowed participants to move from discussing strategic priorities to taking concrete steps — developing joint projects, strengthening the university’s interaction with city structures, and expanding opportunities for youth initiatives.

As a result of the meeting, an agreement was reached to continue cooperation, organize joint events, and establish a sustainable feedback mechanism between students and the Youth Resource Center. Holding such dialogue platforms contributes to fostering an active civic position, strengthening partnerships between educational institutions and youth work organizations, and implementing state policy in practice.
