As part of the Volunteer Winter School at the Kazakh National Women’s Teacher Training University, a Kazakh Cultural Awareness Day was held for volunteer students from Dongduk Women’s University (Republic of Korea).
The main purpose of the event was to introduce international students to the national culture, traditions, and art of the Kazakh people, as well as to strengthen intercultural understanding.
The day’s program included workshops on Kazakh ornamentation, traditional painting classes, a tasting of national dishes, trying on traditional Kazakh clothing, as well as master classes on Kazakh tea traditions and national sweets.
The activities were conducted by faculty members of the University’s Institute of Social Sciences, Humanities, and Arts. Participants had the opportunity not only to learn about the rich cultural heritage of the Kazakh people but also to actively engage in hands-on activities.
This cultural event is an important part of the Volunteer Winter School program and contributes to the development of students’ intercultural communication skills, as well as to fostering respect for national values.
