Attending the concert became a significant event within the framework of educational, cultural, and awareness-raising activities for first-year students. Familiarity with the heritage of outstanding figures of Kazakh art contributes to the development of a respectful attitude toward national culture, historical memory, and spiritual values.
For first-year students, such events are particularly important during the period of adaptation to the university environment. Joint participation in cultural events contributes to strengthening interaction between students, curators, and the School administration, developing a sense of academic community, and creating a favorable educational atmosphere.
The School of pharmacy places great emphasis not only on the professional training of future specialists but also on their comprehensive cultural, personal, and civic development. Students’ participation in such events contributes to broadening their horizons, developing aesthetic perception, and preserving the continuity of national cultural traditions.
