Research Institute "Sustainable Kazakhstan" has launched a new direction of work - Narxoz Student ambassadors. Now not only high-level leadership meetings, but also an initiative group of students will contribute to the achievement of the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
The mission of the Institute "Sustainable Kazakhstan" is to promote research aimed at developing solutions to the most pressing problems of sustainable development, not only in Kazakhstan, but also beyond.
The institution's vision for achieving sustainable development is a world where prosperity is measured by social and environmental well-being.
In the near future, SKRI intends to strengthen partnerships, conduct high-quality research that contributes to the achievement of well-being, both in Kazakhstan and around the world.
The main activity of ambassadors is to disseminate information about the activities of the center they represent. The Student Ambassador will work on two fronts: not only to promote research, but also to form a culture of sustainable development at Narxoz University and Kazakhstan.
“The idea to create such a direction appeared in connection with ongoing activities to stimulate sustainable development and adapt the learning process. We aim to provide an opportunity for everyone to acquire knowledge, skills and values that will help to make a significant contribution to the process of achieving the sustainable development goals. I am confident that the new team members represented by our ambassadors will help motivate not only students, but also other members of the public,” admits SKRI Director Brendan Dupree.
In the coming calendar, the Ambassadors intend to organize a series of awareness-raising events both on and off campus. If you would like to take part in this initiative, please contact sustainable.solutions@narxoz.kz
