Unity of the people of Kazakhstan is unshakable, when every citizen is treated equally in the big and close-knit family. In our unitary state, the principles of harmony and patriotism, which are enshrined in the Constitution of the Republic of Kazakhstan, is the foundation of life for all ethnic groups. The celebration of the Day of Unity of the people of Kazakhstan, as well as the annual student festival dedicated to this, becomes a living embodiment of these principles. It proves that talent and human rights are boundless, regardless of origin or physical ability, uniting us in pursuit of shared prosperity.

This year our university was filled with the energy of friendship and creativity for the thirteenth time. The festival "We are Diverse, We are Equal, We are Together" has once again proven that there are no boundaries to genuine student solidarity.

The highlight of the festival was a challenge cup. Its irreplaceable holder - School of Public Health - acted as a patron this time, updating the top award and presenting a new symbol of solidarity to our festival. This symbol of unity was handed over fr om the champions to the new participants. By the decision of an independent jury, the renewed Cup begins its journey with the Dormitory No. 7, which has become its first holder.

Dormitory No. 1 was awarded in the "Magic of Folk Dance" nomination.

Dormitory No. 2 for the atmosphere and style, and received the "Vibe" nomination.

Dormitory No. 3 was awarded in the "Drive" nomination for the ability to "rock" the stage and inspire each spectator.

Dormitory No. 4 was encouraged in the "Creative Pursuit" nomination by the jury.

Dormitory No. 5 was awarded in the "Artistry and Charisma" nomination.

Dormitory No. 6 received the "Loyalty to Traditions" nomination for deeper understanding of the foundations, and authentic performance.

One of the most spectacular moments of the festival were video clips created on the initiative of the group of students from the Institute of Life Sciences. Students presented several works, wh ere the core values of the festival were highlighted through editing, music and genuine scripts.

 This festival is more than a competition between dormitories. It is the day when we discover each other.

The festival has ended, but the cup in the Dormitory No. 7 will serve as a reminder, that in the following year we will discover new heroes and new talents. After all, we are all different, but teamwork makes the dream work.
