Event on the Prevention of Religious Extremism and Terrorism

On October 2, 2024, at 5:00 PM, an important informational event dedicated to the prevention of religious extremism and terrorism was held in the Red Hall of the Faculty of Mechanics and Mathematics at Al-Farabi Kazakh National University. The event gathered second- and fourth-year students, curators, and faculty members, highlighting the high level of interest in this topic among the youth.

The meeting was conducted by Sultan Abdrakhmanov, a Master of Religious Studies, who immediately captured the attention of the audience with his deep knowledge of the subject and his ability to convey crucial ideas clearly. The students actively participated in the discussion, confidently answering the speaker's questions, which brought satisfaction to the invited guest. The attentive students gained valuable information on the prevention of religious extremism and expressed their deep gratitude to the speaker for the valuable content of his presentation.

This event directly relates to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly SDG 10, “Reduced Inequalities,” and SDG 17, “Partnerships for the Goals.” Addressing issues related to religious extremism and terrorism helps reduce social prejudices and inequalities, which is critically important for building a tolerant and inclusive society. Moreover, this event is an example of effective collaboration between the faculty and experts in religious studies, emphasizing the importance of partnerships in addressing global issues such as extremism and terrorism.

At the end of the evening, B.K. Abenov, the Senior Adviser of the Faculty of Mechanics and Mathematics, shared information on crime prevention that was discussed at a recent meeting with representatives of the Almaty City Police Department, specifically for those students who were unable to attend due to their classes. This demonstrates the faculty's high level of responsibility for the educational process and its commitment to ensuring access to important information for all students.

In conclusion, this event became an important step toward strengthening legal literacy among young people and fostering a safer and more inclusive society. The Faculty of Mechanics and Mathematics continues its active work in organizing similar events aimed at raising students' awareness of social and legal issues.
