Representatives of various nationalities, the Assembly of the People of Kazakhstan, invited experts and historians attended the session.
In parallel, in another hall of the Academy, there was the intellectual game “Oi shaıqas” (in the format of the game “What? Where? When?”). 10 teams from various central departments and students of the Academy took part in the game! According to the results of the game, the first two places were taken by students of our Academy, and the third place is the team of the Ministry of Industry and Infrastructural Development of the Republic of Kazakhstan.

Another interesting site was the presentation of the project “Mentors”.
