Auezov University launches student expedition along Shymkent–Almaty–Semey route

An expedition dedicated to the 180th anniversary of Abai Kunanbayev has departed from M. Auezov University, following the route “Shymkent–Almaty–Semey.” Held from June 19 to 26, the journey brings together students from M. Auezov South Kazakhstan University, Abai Kazakh National Pedagogical University, and Shakarim University. The participants were formally seen off by the university’s administration and staff.
'This journey, dedicated to the 180th anniversary of the great Abai, holds special significance. This is the second time we have organised a visit to Semey for our students. Our goal is to cultivate a sense of national pride and deepen young people’s interest in Abai’s legacy while encouraging their intellectual and personal growth, particularly through participation in research activities. We are confident that this experience will be rewarding,’ said Ernar Imangaliyev, Vice-Rector for Academic Affairs and a member of the university’s board.
More than 50 students joined the trip. The planned route includes the following cities: Shymkent – Almaty – Taldykorgan – Kunaev – Ayagoz – Semey – Ayagoz – Alakol – Taldykorgan – Kunaev – Almaty – Shymkent.
Today, the group is expected to stop in the town of Merke, and will later visit Abai Kazakh National Pedagogical University in Almaty.
