Today, within the framework of the Nauryznamа decade, the university hosted the large-scale “Kozhe Fest” festival dedicated to the Day of Renewal.
Held on the eve of Nauryz, the event filled the university grounds with a truly national spirit. Specially installed yurts and traditional decorations created a festive atmosphere and showcased the beauty of ancestral customs.
An exhibition of handicrafts, national clothing, traditional items, and artworks was also organized, allowing visitors to explore the rich cultural heritage of the Kazakh people.
Traditional games attracted great interest. Participants actively took part in activities such as kettlebell lifting, archery, altybakan, and tug-of-war, making the celebration even more vibrant.
More than 1,000 participants, including faculty members and students, took part in the event.
