On March 31, 2026, ALT University named after Mukhamedzhan Tynyshpayev hosted an event dedicated to the International Day of Happiness titled “Kazakhstan – My Home.” The event was jointly organized by the Institute of Transport and Construction, the Department of Architectural and Construction Engineering (Head of Department G.B. Murzalina, Senior Lecturers A.G. Moldaganapova, I.T. Suleimenov), the Department of Educational and Social Work, and the Trade Union Committee of ALT University.
This initiative was implemented within the framework of SDG 3 “Good Health and Well-being.” The key objective of the event was to strengthen the emotional health of participants, create a positive psychological atmosphere at the university, and foster a culture of mental well-being through art therapy and collaborative creativity.
Goal of the event: To strengthen intergenerational bonds through creativity, foster patriotism, and create an atmosphere of unity. The project allowed participants of all ages to reveal their talents and, through artistic imagery, answer the question: “What does happiness mean to me?”.
The program was officially opened by the Chair of the Board – Rector of “ALT University” JSC, M.S. Zharmagambetova. The hallmark of the celebration was its inclusive scale: representatives of all generations — from 3 to over 60 years old — joined together at the easels.
Organization and professional support for the project were provided by:
-
D.A. Orazbayeva, Senior Lecturer of the “ACE” Department, who presented the conceptual presentation “Kazakhstan – My Home,” reflecting the journey from children’s drawings to professional architectural graphics.
-
ITC Students, who acted as hosts and created a festive atmosphere with songs and energetic dances, boosting the morale of all participants.
-
The Department of Educational and Social Work, which coordinated the participation of various age groups and the social component of the project.
-
The Jury, consisting of K.Zh. Doshtayev, S.A. Lipsky, and K.A. Almagambetova, who evaluated the sincerity and artistic expressiveness of the works.
During the art session, participants used watercolors and colored pencils to create images of their homeland. Working with color and form facilitated psychological relief, reduced stress levels, and strengthened the university’s corporate spirit.
At the conclusion of the event, winners were awarded diplomas for “Master of Inspiration” and “Young Artist.” All participants received commemorative gifts with the support of the Trade Union Chairman, K.Zh. Doshtayev. The celebration concluded with a large group photograph, serving as a symbol of unity, creativity, and harmony within ALT University.
