Aktobe youth gather for open dialogue on civic engagement and volunteering
An open meeting with students was held at the Aktobe Academy of Creativity as part of the Bir Tolqyn project. Over 400 young people gathered in an informal setting to discuss youth policy, civic engagement, and volunteering. The event aimed to encourage active participation among local youth and foster connections between them and community leaders.
The meeting was organised by Amanat’s youth wing, bringing together a diverse group of participants. These included Yerzhan Khamitov, deputy chair of the party’s Zhasstar Ruhy youth movement, and Alisher Sadyk, head of the Aktobe City Youth Resource Center. Also present were Narkozhy Kartzhan, pro-rector of the K. Zhubanov Aktobe Regional University and a city maslikhat deputy, as well as Vidadi Farzaliev, an entrepreneur and regional maslikhat deputy. Other attendees included Aida Kady, coach of the Seile conversation club, regional maslikhat deputies, youth activists, and students from universities and vocational schools.
Discussions covered topics such as self-development, regional initiatives, and the role of young people in civic life. Vidadi Farzaliev highlighted the importance of such events for engaging with youth and supporting their projects. Alisher Tynyshtyk noted strong interest among Aktobe’s young people in initiatives like the newly introduced 'Digital Volunteering' project. Azamat Kamenov, a student at the Aktobe Humanities and Technical College, praised the event’s unique format. He said it helped participants exchange ideas and build valuable connections. The Bir Tolqyn project is not limited to Aktobe—similar open dialogue forums have already taken place in the Turkestan and East Kazakhstan regions.
The initiative seeks to promote an active civic stance among young people and will continue expanding to other areas. With over 400 attendees, the event demonstrated strong engagement from Aktobe’s youth. Organisers plan to hold more sessions to keep encouraging participation and idea-sharing.
