In Kazakhstan, volunteerism is considered as one of the most effective mechanisms for the participation of young people and other social groups in the cultural, economic and social life of the country. Kazakhstan has a National Volunteer Network, a non-governmental organization that serves as a link between network members and representatives in the regions, giving impetus to the approach of developing volunteerism in Kazakhstan. The idea of volunteerism began to develop in Kazakhstan from 1993, when the UN Volunteers program appeared.
Students were offered the resources of the UN to apply for participation in global volunteer movement. Caring people from all over the country, regardless of their status, do not pass by other people's troubles, thereby making our Homeland better, and people kinder and happier.
Undergraduates were actively involved in the discussion, creatively answered questions and told about their experience of volunteering at the EXPO-2017 exhibition in Nur-Sultan.
