In 2012, Nazarbayev Intellectual Schools launched a patriotic project – research and local lore expedition “Tugan elge tagzym”, which is designed to create students’ interest in learning the characteristics of their native land, popularizing tourist and local history activities among students. A special feature of educational trips is the exchange of routes among Nazarbayev Intellectual Schools, conducting territorial hikes and tourist expeditions.
From October 21 to October 27, 24 students from the Intellectual Schools of Almaty and Karaganda will arrive in Astana within the framework of the research and local history expedition “Tugan Elge Tagzym-2018”
Within the framework of the project, these two expedition groups will explore the cultural and historical sites of Astana, the architectural structures of the capital. Also meeting of young local historians with scientists from the Research Institute K.I Barayev and K.A Akishev Research Institute of Archeology is scheduled.
