The Day of Languages of the People of Kazakhstan has become a reflection of the model of interethnic relations that have historically developed in the country. The policy of peace and harmony in Kazakhstan is conducted at the state level and is enshrined in legislation. The policy of our state is aimed at strengthening the equality of the people of Kazakhstan, irrespective of their ethnicity. The principles of the state language policy are defined in the Constitution of the Republic of Kazakhstan, in the laws of the Republic of Kazakhstan “On Education” and “On Languages in the Republic of Kazakhstan”.

The event was conducted in three languages by students of the group GIK-23-2 Aubakirov D. and Shermanov T.

The musical journey continued when Murat Yerbolat (gr.IS-23-1s), touching the dombra, performed the kyu “Yerke Sylkym”, as if taking us to the Kazakh steppes.

The game “Polyglot”, which was conducted by lecturer E.A. Zhdanova, united students in teams, where proverbs with missing words called for knowledge of three languages. They did not just find the right words, they translated them, revealing the true mastery of the word.

In the spirit of creativity, the students came on stage, taking on creativity challenges. They recited poems in foreign languages, performed unusual tasks and inspired us with their pictorial imagination.
