Tourism Week: Bright Events, Masterclasses, and Charity at the School of Natural Sciences

From September 23 to 27, 2024, the School of Natural Sciences held its traditional Tourism Week. The week began with a book exhibition, where trainers from the public association "Great Steppe Scouts" held workshops on active tourism. Additionally, Raushan Mamaeva, the director of "Rais Travel," gave a lecture on creating authorial tourist routes. On September 26, students attended a lecture by Professor Ordenbek Mazbaev about traveling to Antarctica.

As part of Tourism Week, several competitions were organized for students, including the "Erudite" quiz, a video contest about Astana, and an intellectual team game focused on geography knowledge.

On September 27, a charity fair titled "Cuisines of the World" was organized, where students presented a variety of dishes and cultural features of different countries, as well as showcased national costumes. The funds raised, as decided by the students, will be donated to an orphanage in the city of Astana.

The results of the week were summarized on September 27—International Tourism Day—during a festive evening. Certificates and valuable prizes were awarded to the winners. The title of "Best Mobile Photographer" went to Turar Aruzhan, and the "Erudite Geographer" was awarded to Mahmet Aktilek. Following the intellectual game, the "Cup of Champions" was presented to the "Gulzhan" team from the RGIT-24 B group. All active students received certificates and letters of appreciation.

Tourism Week was filled with vibrant events and informative meetings with scientists and practitioners. These activities not only contributed to the professional development of students but also helped them get to know each other better and forge friendships.

We would like to express special gratitude to the dance group @ansambl_danira for their magnificent performance, which added vibrancy and energy to our event. Their talent and skill inspired all those present and made our gathering unforgettable.
