An event «Independence: the Succession of generations»
On December 8, 2025, an event dedicated to the Independence Day of the Republic of Kazakhstan was held. The organizers and participants are senior lecturer A.A. Meldebekova, 3rd year students of the educational program "Biological Engineering".
The event aimed to foster Kazakhstani patriotism.
Discussed: Exploring the history of Kazakhstan’s independence, understanding independence’s national significance, the role of youth in nation-building.
Kazakhstan’s path to independence reflects centuries of nation-building, resilience, and cultural identity. From the era of the Kazakh Khanate to the struggles of the 20th century, including the pivotal 1986 Jeltoqsan movement, the desire for self-determination remained strong; this student-led protest in Almaty against imposed leadership have symbolized rising national consciousness and becoming a key catalyst on Kazakhstan’s road to independence.
On December 16, 1991, Kazakhstan declared its independence, marking the beginning of a new chapter as a sovereign state. Since then, the country has achieved significant progress in economic development, diplomacy, education, and modernization, while preserving its unique heritage. Exploring this history helps us understand the nation’s journey and the values that shape its future.
With more than a third of the population under 30, youth contribute fresh ideas to entrepreneurship, science, technology, and creative industries. Government programs such as “Serpin,” the Presidential Youth Personnel Reserve empower young leaders to engage in public service and policy development. In education, students participate in global academic exchanges, research projects, and digital skills initiatives that prepare them for a rapidly evolving economy. Youth activism and volunteer movements also strengthen civic responsibility and social unity. Through their ambitions, talents, and active participation, Kazakhstan’s young generation is shaping a more dynamic, inclusive, and forward-looking society.
