Nauryz Shuagy: a celebration of traditions

Students of the Electric Power Engineering and Occupational Safety Department organised Nauryz Shuagy to mark Culture and National Traditions Day. The celebration focused on preserving customs, developing students’ creative abilities and sharing the cultural heritage of the Kazakh people.

Participants spoke about Nauryz as a celebration of nature’s renewal, the beginning of a new year, goodwill and harmony.

The programme featured a staged presentation of syrga salu, the traditional earring ceremony. The performance also incorporated elements of welcoming the bride, shashu, betashar and blessings from elders.

Through these scenes, students explored the educational meaning of family traditions, respect for elders and care for younger people. The event demonstrated how learning about customs can help young people preserve family values and maintain an interest in national culture.
