Promoting the achievement of sustainable development goals: International Winter School at the Faculty of International Relations

International winter school at the Faculty of International Relations of al-Farabi KazNU (December 1-14, 2023) is a testament to the constructive synergy of academic excellence and leadership dynamics. A delegation of 3rd and 4th year students from the University of World Economy and Diplomacy (UWED) https://uwed.uz/ (Tashkent, Uzbekistan) participated in the significant event. Ms. Sarbinaz Reipnazarova, a young and promising lecturer of UWED, headed the delegation.

Winter school students Samandar Saraev, Nasiba Ergasheva, Guli Nizomova, Ulugbek Makhkambaev, Sherzod Makhbubov, Askarjon Komilov, Shokhrukh Abdullaev, Asadbek Abdukakhorov, Alikhon Avazhonov and Muhamadali Musaev demonstrated high theoretical knowledge and showed leadership qualities.

The Winter School provided the delegation with a conducive environment to delve into the complexities of international relations, emphasizing the importance of leadership skills beyond the traditional academic sphere. Through simulations, discussions, and collaborative initiatives, UWED students demonstrated a depth of understanding beyond theoretical paradigms.

The success of this joint endeavor lays the foundation for future projects that promise to enrich the academic landscape of both universities further. The lasting impact of this academic alliance is expected to extend beyond the Winter School, creating an atmosphere of shared intellectual endeavors and fostering the development of future leaders in international relations.

The International Winter School reflects the symbiotic relationship between academic excellence and leadership. Reflecting on the rich experience and knowledge gained, we look forward to developing future joint efforts that will undoubtedly contribute to the collective academic growth of both Al-Farabi Kazakh National University and the University of World Economy and Diplomacy.
