The project has been running since 2011
City: Almaty

GOAL OF THE PROJECT

CONDITIONS OF THE PROJECT
RESULTS
From 2011 to 2023
Around 1,000 people registered for the School of Civic Education, and about 500 completed the training.
Participants highlight that they receive a vast amount of information, much of it exclusive, which they wouldn’t have heard or read anywhere else.
2-5 people
after each season become volunteers for YISK.
For many, this experience becomes a turning point in their career development, profession selection, and the start of their civic engagement.
Since 2020
The School of Civic Education works also in Kazakh.
