A LITERARY AND POETIC EVENING DEDICATED TO ABAI’S TEACHING OF THE WELL ROUNDED HUMAN” (“KEMEL ADAM”) HELD

A literary, educational and poetic evening entitled “Mind, Will and Heart: The Three Pillars of a Perfect Human” was held at our university. The event was organized by the historical and educational club “Orda”, operating under the Youth Centre and the “Shanyraq” Student Clubs Coordination Office.

The aim of the event was to introduce young people to the spiritual and philosophical meaning of the harmony of mind, will and heart in Abai Kunanbayev’s teaching of “Kemel Adam” (“The Well Rounded Human”), as well as to increase students’ interest in national literature and poetry.

During the event, students recited Abai’s works and poems by Kazakh poets dedicated to the themes of mind, will and heart. The poetic programme featured Abai’s song “Kózimniń Qaraǵysy” (“The Apple of My Eye”), as well as a theatrical performance entitled “A Dialogue about Love”, inspired by the works of Mukagali Makatayev.

In addition, club members performed their own literary works and recited poems by outstanding representatives of Kazakh literature, creating a special atmosphere and evoking vivid emotions among the audience.

As part of the programme, an educational literary game entitled “Zhyr Dodasy” (“Poetic Contest”) was organized. Participants identified poets based on excerpts from their poems, continued well-known literary works and answered questions related to Kazakh literature.

At the end of the evening, members of the “Orda” club performed songs accompanied by guitar, bringing the literary and musical event to a memorable close.

Such events help increase students’ interest in literature and artistic expression, while developing their expressive reading skills, creative thinking and public speaking abilities.
