A meeting between students and Zhanat Nurgaliyev, a representative of the public foundation “Belsendi Azamat” and Head of the Private Institution “Integrity Astana”, was held at the A. K. Kussayinov Eurasian Humanities Institute as part of the “Law and Order” ideological framework. The meeting focused on the topic “Political Culture of the Modern Citizen: Rights, Participation and Dialogue with the State”.
Zhanat Nurgaliyev spoke about how citizens can participate in addressing issues that affect their daily lives. Students discussed when to submit an appeal through the eOtinish platform, how to put forward proposals during public consultations, and how Astana residents can take part in improving their courtyards through the “Participatory Budget” programme.
The practical part of the meeting focused on real-life situations involving the campus, student dormitory and city. Using these examples, participants explored how to verify information, identify the authorities responsible for addressing an issue, formulate a specific request, and follow up on the changes made after submitting an appeal.
These skills are important for students today. They help them defend their rights with well-reasoned arguments, take other people’s interests into account, and work together to address issues affecting the entire student community. It is through such everyday actions that the principles of the “Law and Order” ideological framework acquire practical meaning.
