They organized a real “shashu” – musical-dramatized representation “Armysyn, az Nauryz!” with the participation of singers, dombra players, well-dressed girls in national dresses, tables with the main ritual dish of this festival – Nauryz-kozhe!
Students performed folk songs and dances, modern musical works of the Kazakh composers and prominent authors. They demonstrated national ceremonies “Besikke salu”, “Tusau kesu”, participated in national games and sports “Arkan tartu”, “Kush synasu”.
Guests were offered to taste Nauryz-kozhe, baursaks and other Kazakh national dishes.
