On Gratitude Day, special mentoring hours were held at Kostanay Polytechnic Higher College. The theme “A Thousand Thanks” united students from all years in a shared expression of gratitude.

The goals of the mentoring hours were to foster a sense of patriotism and respect for the country’s history and the culture of Kazakhstan’s various ethnic groups; develop emotional intelligence skills and the ability to express gratitude; and strengthen interpersonal relationships within the student group.

The students not only reminisced about the historical development of independent Kazakhstan and the role of national unity but also participated in touching interactive activities. The “Letter to Parents” event evoked a wealth of emotion, and the “Gratitude Box” was filled with hundreds of kind words addressed to teachers and friends.

We are proud that our youth appreciate kindness and cherish the traditions of the great steppe. May peace and mutual respect always reign in our country!

The number of students who took part in the mentoring hours: 1st year – 414; 2nd year – 330; 3rd year – 208; 4th year – 146; group leaders – 43.
