Faculty of Law Hosts "Warmth of the Heart – to the Teacher" Appreciation Evening
On 1 October, in honour of the Day of Higher Education Workers of the Republic of Kazakhstan, Room 305 of the Faculty of Law at Al-Farabi Kazakh National University hosted the student appreciation evening "Warmth of the Heart – to the Teacher" at 10:00. The event was jointly organized by the Department of Criminal Law, Criminal Procedure and Criminalistics and the student volunteer club (SVC) "Shapagat".
During the evening, students read letters written to their teachers and presented them with flowers and envelopes. The programme included the video "What Do Students Say?", a song, and a dombra kui. In the interactive task "In One Word", participants described their teachers, and in the game "Who Said It?" they guessed which teacher is known for which classroom catchphrase.
A key part of the programme was a set of thank-you nominations based on an anonymous student survey. These were not official awards but a sincere expression of students' appreciation. Teachers who did not receive a nomination were given "Warmth Envelopes" with students' words of gratitude. During the open mic, any student could speak directly to their teacher, and a veteran teacher gave a closing response.
The evening ended with the "Lights of the Heart" tribute, in which participants raised their phone flashlights to honour teachers' work, followed by a group commemorative photo.
The organizers noted that the aim of the event was to strengthen mutual respect and trust between teachers and students.
