On May 23–24, Shakarim University hosted the Republican Youth Forum dedicated to the 180th anniversary of Abai Kunanbayev — a philosopher, poet, and reformer whose legacy continues to shape the direction of national development. The aim of the forum was to spark interest in Abai’s teachings on the concept of the “Perfect Human” (Tolyk Adam) as a moral foundation for modern society, to reconsider the philosophical ideas of the great thinker in the context of 21st-century challenges, and to cultivate a generation of young Kazakhstani citizens who embrace humanism, responsibility, and personal development not merely as a slogan but as a life strategy.
Representing AITU at the forum were Vice-Rector for Educational Work Sapar Toxsanov, Director of the Department of Students Affairs Arman Kenzhebekov, and President of the Student Government Aisha Zholdasbekova. During the event, Aisha Zholdasbekova, President of “AITUSA,” was awarded a Letter of Appreciation by the Minister of Science and Higher Education of the Republic of Kazakhstan.
