Nauryz celebrated in the open air in NIS Taldykorgan

The traditional Nauryz holiday was held at the Nazarbayev Intellectual School in Taldykorgan. On this spring day, the school stadium turned into a real ethnographic museum in the open air, where students and their parents could immerse themselves in the atmosphere of Kazakh traditions and cultural values. The central element of the celebration was the yurt installed at the stadium, which became a symbol of hospitality and unity. A festive concert was held around the yurt, where Kazakh kuis, folk songs and dances were performed. Special attention was paid to the educational part of the event. Parents actively participated in the process of passing on traditions to the younger generation, showing and explaining the meaning of the rituals of tusau keser, besikke salu, syrga salu and bet ashar. — I really liked the way our grandparents and parents talked about traditions. It was especially interesting to learn about the meaning of each rite and how they relate to our national character," Aksholpan Rinatkyzy, an 8th grade student, shared her impressions. Zhanar Kurmantayeva, the mother of 10th grade students Azamat and Baytas Kurmantayeva, noted: "I am glad that I can pass on my knowledge about traditions to children. This is important not only for the preservation of culture, but also for the formation of their sense of pride in their people." Traditional games such as togyzkumalak, arkan tartys and asyk ata were also organized at the festival. Of particular interest was the mini-exhibition, where the elements of the Kazakh people's way of life were presented. The students could see the national utensils - kymyznitsa and kubi, as well as the skins of wild animals such as wolves and foxes. The headmaster stressed the importance of such events: "Such holidays play a key role in fostering patriotism and respect for traditions." The Nauryz holiday at the Nazarbayev Intellectual School has become a vivid example of how modern education can be effectively combined with the preservation of national traditions, creating a strong link between the past, present and future.
