Informational and educational activities aimed at preventing extremism and terrorism

As part of their pedagogical practice, doctoral students and undergraduates of the Department of Religious Studies and Cultural Studies conducted informational and educational activities aimed at preventing extremism and terrorism in the Zhetysu District school-lyceums No.108, No.109, No.110, No.112, No.118, No.66, No.124, No.80, No.87, and No.137.

These events were organized in response to the increasing cases of modern adolescents being involved in the activities of various radical movements. The students were shown special video materials about the influence of social media platforms, as well as provided with information on the negative impact of radical religious movements on the national security of the state. In addition, the students received detailed information about the academic program “Religious Studies”, which focuses on the study, prevention, and resolution of such issues. The events were attended by school administrators and teaching staff, and comprehensive answers were given to the students’ questions of interest.

Organizers: Professor of the Department of Religious Studies and Cultural Studies K.M. Borbasova, first-year doctoral students S.T. Nazbekova and R.A. Moldakhmetov.
