I don’t say that ZhasCamp can solve all the problems and challenges the society faces with, but events of this nature are very useful. It is important for young people to be able to think, act independently and unite based on a free choice, and not just take the ready-made solutions for granted. ZhasCamp is a platform for freedom to speak out, freedom to gather, freedom to unite and freedom to act together. Therefore, it is a normal form of social development, perfectly natural, and it is very good that such a form exists.

Today's young people are much more advanced than we are. They read, they watch, they are very connected to new media. I am a teacher and I see among students, young people that they try to understand what justice is, why we are like this. And that gives me hope. (...) It`s luck that that there is ZhasCamp, this is my 3 rd year of participating in this event and every year both the content and the quality of participants improves. And of course, the number is growing, too.

I love young people in general. They can dream, make plans and are not afraid to perform them, they break boundaries and this requires courage. I have seen such young people at ZhasCamp. I like that there were representatives from different parts of Kazakhstan. What seems to me important is that there were quite large delegations from Uzbekistan and Kyrgyzstan. This is our region, we have a common cultural space, even though we are separated by borders. And it is important that young people have the opportunity to communicate, make jokes and laugh.

At the beginning of the discussion, I asked how many feminists were in the audience, and about three people raised their hands. And it is very interesting because even visually these people stood out a lot, they were different from everyone else. That is, they are trying to break the usual stereotypes by the way they dress and by the way they behave. That is, a certain group is fighting for gender equality and they are much more numerous than in the same youth environment when I was at that age.

Cool initiative and very good, young and smart participants. We need initiative people and organizations like ZhasCamp, MOC, Ololo that gather community around them; having communities and like-minded people around is very important for a person, especially for a young person, to feel committed to something special and important.

«Open Parliament» is an important project of the Youth Information Service of Kazakhstan. Now, working in the regions, I see that people do not know and have no idea what the parliament is, who the deputies are, what their tasks are, what they work for and how people can interact with them. If young people visit the Parliament and see how this structure is organized, then, of course, in the future such kind of interaction between people and deputies will be established.

This conference is organized by people who care. Unfortunately, I see a lot of conferences that are organized for the sake of box-checking, and I was very pleased to see at ZhasCamp everything as I expected it to be. In creative industries and social entrepreneurship, there are so many chances for CA to find things in common. It is much harder for us to do that in traditional sectors. What I heard absolutely resonated with me, these are things that I would love to say.

All these people are beautiful, young, hot-eyed and interested in it. They got up early, came to listen how the girls in Kyrgyzstan are building a satellite, or came to attend my session. That is why I always agree when the organizers call me to look at these people who are here because of the well-known theory that there are 5% of the society who change the world, and it seems to me that at least 3% of them are here.

It was my first time in Kazakhstan and you can see that young people are interested in it and ZhasCamp program is a good startup because they meet many people, talk about different topics and of course they will be able to find a peculiar topic and work on it. I was also surprised that no one came late. In Georgia, if you say to come at 10:00, people come at half past eleven. They were not late and were active, asked questions – I liked it very much; I think they will be able to achieve what they want.
